So im trying to make an economy discord bot but I don't know how to make a 3 hour cooldown on the work command after the user uses it so for the does that don't understand
me: !work
bot: you got 123 money while working.
me: !work
bot: you have to wait 3 hours before working again.
This is my code for the work command
if (message.content.toLowerCase().startsWith(prefixS.prefix + 'work')) {
const inventoryS = await inventory.findOne({ userID: message.author.id, guildID: message.guild.id });
const payment = Math.floor(Math.random() * 200);
inventoryS.work = parseInt(payment)
inventoryS.save()
message.channel.send({ embeds: [new Discord.MessageEmbed().setAuthor(message.author.username).setTitle('⚒️⚒️').setColor('BLUE')] }).then((message) => {
setTimeout(function () {
function doRandHT() {
var rand = [`You worked an extra night and got ${inventoryS.work}`, `You worked an extra day and got ${inventoryS.work}`, `Your boss just gave you ${inventoryS.work} for just sitting in your chair`];
return rand[Math.floor(Math.random() * rand.length)];
}
message.edit({ embeds: [new Discord.MessageEmbed().setTitle(doRandHT()).setColor('BLUE')] }).then(() => {
inventoryS.currency = parseInt(inventoryS.currency) + parseInt(inventoryS.work)
inventoryS.save()
}
});
})
}, 3000)
})
}
Thank you
This is the guide for cooldown on discord.js v12, is kind of similar if you are using v13.
In the command file:
module.exports = {
name: 'example',
cooldown: 5,
execute(message) {
// ...
},
};
In the main file:
client.cooldowns = new Discord.Collection();
const { cooldowns } = client;
if (!cooldowns.has(command.name)) {
cooldowns.set(command.name, new Discord.Collection());
}
const now = Date.now();
const timestamps = cooldowns.get(command.name);
const cooldownAmount = (command.cooldown || 3) * 1000;
if (timestamps.has(message.author.id)) {
const expirationTime = timestamps.get(message.author.id) + cooldownAmount;
if (now < expirationTime) {
const timeLeft = (expirationTime - now) / 1000;
return message.reply(`please wait ${timeLeft.toFixed(1)} more second(s) before reusing the \`${command.name}\` command.`);
}
}
timestamps.set(message.author.id, now);
setTimeout(() => timestamps.delete(message.author.id), cooldownAmount);
Make sure execute this code before execute the command.
