My bot is not reading the Discord chat. I want it to read the chat and if it finds certain words it will give a certain response. This is my current message event code. This is my first JavaScript project and I have just started learning it so please rip it apart so I can learn quicker :)
At the moment I can get the bot to load into discord. I can turn it on with .node but I can not get it to read a message using message.content.
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client({ intents: ["GUILD_MESSAGES", "DIRECT_MESSAGES"] });
var name = "Poker Bot";
var usersHand
let firstCardValue
let secondCardValue
let firstCardSuit
let secondCardSuit
//starts the bot and sets activity to a funny quote. it also will give a command prompt notification that the
// bot is online
client.on("ready", () => {
console.log(`Bot is online: ${name} !`);
client.user.setActivity('Burning The Fucking Casino Down');
});
//check discord chat to see if a user has posted.
client.on("messageCreate", message => {
//console.log is there to test user input. If it works the message in the discord channel will appear in console
console.log(`The user has said: ${message} `);
//look for poker hand ~~~ position ~~~~ event (ex: AA CO PF ) (PF= PreFlop)
if (message.content.toLowerCase == 'AK' || message.content.toLowerCase == 'AA' || message.content.toLowerCase == 'KK'){
message.reply("RECOMMENDED PLAY SHOVE: ALL IN")
}
.content is not a method, it's a property, you must now also enable the Message Content intent on your bot page as well as in your code.
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client({ intents: ["GUILD_MESSAGES", "DIRECT_MESSAGES"] });
client.on("messageCreate", message => {
// || "String" like you did before would return "true" in every single instance,
// this is case sensitive, if you wanna make it case insensitive
// use `message.content.toLowerCase() == "lowercasestring"`
if (message.content == "AK" || message.content = "AA" || message.content == "KK") {
message.channel.send("Recommend Play is to shove all in" + message.author);
}
})
client.login(token);
Judging by your information, you dont just want to send a response if the message contains only those strings, but may just contain then. To check for that, I would suggest to use regex#test
Still as @iiRealistic_Dev rightfully mentioned: message.content is not a function, so removing the brackets is the way to go.
client.on("messageCreate", (message) => {
if (/AK|AA|KK/.test(message.content)) {
message.channel.send("Recommend Play is to shove all in" + message.author);
console.log('it got to here');
}
});
