I am trying to give a muted role to users that send a message within a channel, however I do not want to issue it to anyone who has the MANAGE_MESSAGES permission.
How can I implement this? Here is my attempt below though it is still giving the muted rule.
client.on('message', async (message) => {
let data = await antilinks.findOne({ Guild: message.guild.id });
if (data.run === 'off') return;
if (data.run === 'on') {
if (links(message.content) === true) {
message.delete()
try {
let muterole = message.guild.roles.cache.find(ro => ro.name === 'Muted');
if (!muterole) {
message.guild.roles.create({
data: {
name: 'Muted',
color: 'RANDOM',
permissions: []
}
})
} else {
message.guild.member(message.author).roles.add(muterole);
}
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
}
}
}
})
You can check to see if someone has a specific permission using hasPermission().
client.on('message', async (message) => {
let data = await antilinks.findOne({ Guild: message.guild.id });
// If this user has MANAGE_MESSAGES permission, stop here and do nothing.
if (message.member.hasPermission('MANAGE_MESSAGES')) return;
if (data.run === 'off') return;
if (data.run === 'on') {
if (links(message.content) === true) {
message.delete()
try {
let muterole = message.guild.roles.cache.find(ro => ro.name === 'Muted');
if (!muterole) {
message.guild.roles.create({
data: {
name: 'Muted',
color: 'RANDOM',
permissions: []
}
})
} else {
message.guild.member(message.author).roles.add(muterole);
}
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
}
}
}
})
Just incase, you will need to use a new import for this method.
Import code: const { Permissions } = require('discord.js');
Method:
For discord.js we use the Permissions method to check if the user has any roles that has the permissions you set
Example Code:
if(message.guild.member(message.author).permissions.has(Permissions.FLAGS.MANAGE_MESSAGES){
//code here
}
Your Code:
client.on('message', async (message) => {
let data = await antilinks.findOne({ Guild: message.guild.id });
if (data.run === 'off') return;
if (data.run === 'on') {
if (links(message.content) === true) {
message.delete()
try {
let muterole = message.guild.roles.cache.find(ro => ro.name === 'Muted');
if (!muterole) {
message.guild.roles.create({
data: {
name: 'Muted',
color: 'RANDOM',
permissions: []
}
})
} else if(message.guild.member(message.author).permissions.has(Permissions.FLAGS.MANAGE_MESSAGES){
return;
} else if(!message.guild.member(message.author).permissions.has(Permissions.FLAGS.MANAGE_MESSAGES){
message.guild.member(message.author).roles.add(muterole);
}
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
}
}
}
})
