So I'm trying to add a help detector to my discord bot which auto responds to certain stuff. For example if someone types I want help with login it should auto respond, but if someone says I want help it should do nothing, so it only responds if it detects that the sentence contain help and login and I've tried to make a code for this but it doesn't respond at all, here is the code:
let help_words2 = ["help", "problems", "problem", "error", "issue"]
let help_words = ["psutil", "pyinstaller"]
if (message.content.toLowerCase().includes(help_words) && message.content.toLowerCase().includes(help_words2)) {
const embed = new MessageEmbed()
.setAuthor(`I'm here to help ${message.author.tag}!`,'https://img.icons8.com/fluency/48/000000/help.png',`${client.config.links.website}`)
.setDescription(`**I think you need help with python and before asking more questions make sure to check out these pages/channels**\n\n> <#905804981368664075>\n> <#905224439736705087>`)
message.channel.send(embed)
}
I've also tried to use .indexOf() instead of .includes() but when I used that it responded to every message that was typed which is not what I want. I don't get any errors either or anything in the console. So question is, how would I make the discord bot respond to specific words in sentance
You are trying to check with the whole array. The function automatically converts it to a string, meaning you are actually doing this:
message.content.toLowerCase().includes("psutil,pyinstaller")
What I think you want is to check if the message includes anything from the array. You can do this using Array.prototype.some:
if (help_words.some(w => message.content.toLowerCase().includes(w)) &&
help_words2.some(w => message.content.toLowerCase().includes(w))) {
//rest of your code
}
