I made a function in a discord bot that will delete user message, when its lenght is past 100 characters, animated/custom/unicode emojis however bypasses this 100 characters limit (theoretically, 1 emoji is not equal to 1 character, idk how it works) but my bot crash after to many of them. I want to make a function, that will detect these emojis, and if it finds one, just delete this person comment. I was working on something like that.
client.on('messageCreate', message =>{
if(message.content.startsWith(":") && message.content.endsWith(":") || message.content.startsWith("<:") && message.content.endsWith(":>") {
return;
}
else {
if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot || message.member.roles.cache.has('828277437242146816')) return;
If you have any other solution, you can share it in a comment.
All emojis in Discord start with <: (animated emojis start with <:a) and end with :>. Between these group of characters is the emoji name aswell as it's ID. You can use String.prototype.match() to match regex with a string, thus finding an emoji. You can read more about the method here. Using message.content.startsWith("<:") and message.content.endsWith(":>") isn't reliable as messages don't often start with emojis.
