I seem to be having serious trouble sending DM's to all users with a specific role.
Here is my bot code:
bot.on('message', async message => {
members = message.guild.roles.cache.find(role => role.id === "12345678998765").members.map(m => m.user.id);
members.forEach(member_id => {
sleep(5000).then(() => {
message.users.fetch(member_id, false).then((user) => {
user.send("some message");
});
});
});
});
This code gives me the error:
Cannot read properties of null (reading 'roles')
on this line:
members = message.guild.roles.cache.find(role => role.id === ....
However that is not the issue. When I comment out the sleep command to send the message and output the member roles using:
members.forEach(member_id => {
console.log(member_id)
//sleep(5000).then(() => {
// bot.users.fetch(member_id, false).then((user) => {
// user.send("some message");
// });
//});
});
I get a list returned in the console of all the user ID's.. So it must be returning the roles.
How do I send a message to all users with a specific role ID ?? I want to be able to loop through them and put a wait in to reduce the API requests and spam trigger.
To fix your first issue, message.guild will be null in DM. Make sure it isn't DM, or if it has to be, choose a guild with client.guilds.cache.get("id").
bot.on("message", async message => {
let { guild } = message
if (!guild) guild = bot.guilds.cache.get("id")
//...
})
To fix your other issue, you can run GuildMember#send() rather than getting the IDs and fetching the users
bot.on("message", async message => {
let { guild } = message
if (!guild) guild = bot.guilds.cache.get("id")
let members = guild.roles.cache.get("12345678998765").members
// I used .get here because it's getting by ID
members.forEach(member => {
sleep(5000).then(() => member.send("some message"));
});
})
The above code will get all the GuildMembers and loop through every one of them, "sleeping" for 5 seconds (if the sleep parameter is milliseconds) and send the member a DM
