I'm new to programming and i'm trying to make a Discord bot for me and my friends, for now I have set up two commands, the first works fine, but the second one is the problem.
client.on('message', msg => {
if (msg.content === `@usertag#0001`) {
msg.channel.send(`<@${msg.author.id}> <@${msg.author.id}> <@${msg.author.id}> <@${msg.author.id}> don't tag me`);
}
});
So what it should do is when a specific user is tagged it sends a message, the message sent from the bot is working (it tags the user who sent the message 3 times and then it says something else), but the part where the bot recognizes the tag doesn't work.
I tried by putting the Discord id, using the full @, and other stuff, but it doesn't seem to work.
For this you could use the message.mentions method, and here is how you could use it for example:
// For Discord V13 'message' is deprecated and
// will be removed in the future, use 'messageCreate' instead.
client.on("message", msg => {
// Disable messages from bot to avoid endless loops / replies
if(msg.author.bot === true) return;
// Check if anyone is mentioned.
// Skip @everyone mentions to be checked.
if(msg.mentions.users.size > 0 && msg.mentions.everyone === false) {
if(msg.mentions.users.find(user => user.id === "ENTER USER ID HERE")) {
msg.channel.send(`<@${msg.author.id}> <@${msg.author.id}> <@${msg.author.id}> <@${msg.author.id}> don't tag me!`);
}
}
});
Hope this will help you! ! I have tested this with Discord V13, i'm not 100% sure if this will work on Discord V12 as well.
