What I'm trying to do is set up a discord autoresponse bot that responds if someone says match prefix + respondobject like "!ping". I don't know why it doesn't come up with any response in the dispute. I've attached a picture of what it does. I can't figure out why it's not showing up with any responses in discord.
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client({intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES"]});
const prefix = '!'
client.on('ready', () => {
let botStatus = [
'up!h or up!help',
`${client.users.cache.size} citizens!`,
`${client.guilds.cache.size} servers!`
]
setInterval(function(){
let status = botStatus[Math.floor(Math.random() * botStatus.length)]
client.user.setActivity(status, {type: 'WATCHING'})
}, 15000);
console.log(client.user.username);
});
client.on('message', message => {
if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/)
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase()
const responseObject = {
"ping": `🏓 Latency is ${msg.createdTimestamp - message.createdTimestamp}ms. API Latency is ${Math.round(client.ws.ping)}ms`
};
if (responseObject[message.content]) {
message.channel.send('Loading data...').then (async (msg) =>{
msg.delete()
message.channel.send(responseObject[message.content]);
}).catch(err => console.log(err.message))
}
});
client.login(process.env.token);
Your main issue is that you're trying to check message.content against 'ping', but require a prefix. Your message.content will always have a prefix, so you could try if (responseObject[message.content.slice(prefix.length)]).
Other alternatives would be to add the prefix to the object ("!ping": "Latency is...")
Or, create a variable that tracks the command used.
let cmd = message.content.toLowerCase().slice(prefix.length).split(/\s+/gm)[0]
// then use it to check the object
if (responseObject[cmd]) {}
