I am trying to create a discord bot that can serve a multitude of purposes. Right now, I need some help with dming the user if they use the !help prefix. I tried multiple ways of dming the user & they lead to nowhere.
Here is my code:
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const config = require("./config.json");
const client = new Discord.Client({intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES"]});
const prefix = "!";
client.on("messageCreate", function(message) {
if (message.author.bot) return;
if (!message.content.startsWith(prefix)) return;
const commandBody = message.content.slice(prefix.length);
const args = commandBody.split(' ');
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
if (command === "") {
const timeTaken = Date.now() - message.createdTimestamp;
message.reply("e")
}
});
client.on('message', message => {
if (message.content === 'help') {
messageCreate.author.send('Help')
}
});
client.login(config.BOT_TOKEN);
Note your code here:
if (message.content === 'help') {
messageCreate.author.send('Help')
}
What is messageCreate defined as? Try replacing messageCreate with just message in the above excerpt.
