so i've been trying to make it so that every time the user sends a message there's a 50/50 chance that the bot reacts with an emoji, however the number is only picked every time i restart the bot. any ideas on how i can make it pick the number every time the command is triggered?
i tried to use setInterval but that didn't work so idk
here code;
const userID = "user id"
let random = Math.floor(Math.random()*2)
client.on('messageCreate', (message) => {
if(random === 1) {
if(message.author.id === userID) {
message.react('emoji');
}
}
});
Simply, define the random variable inside the messageCreate event.
Example:
const userID = "user id";
client.on('messageCreate', (message) => {
let random = Math.floor(Math.random() * 2);
if (random === 1) {
if (message.author.id === userID) {
message.react('emoji');
}
}
});
If you define random inside of the messageCreate event it means that a new random number is generated each time the even is called.
const userID = "user id"
client.on('messageCreate', (message) => {
let random = Math.floor(Math.random()*2)
if(random === 1) {
if(message.author.id === userID) {
message.react('emoji');
}
}
});
As Tyler2P has already shown an example, just wanted to explain why this works. Thanks
You could use a Math.random 50/50 chance, like this:
const userID = "user id"
client.on('messageCreate', (message) => {
if (Math.random() >= 0.5) {
if (message.author.id === userID) {
message.react('emoji');
}
}
});
