I want my bot to read DM messages only and send them to a discord channel, but my code spam the message infinitely, spamming 5 times and then it pauses for a few seconds then spam again, also the bot don't read only DM messages and reads also guild messages so if I send anything in the guild it spams the content.
What do I want? If someone sends 'Hello!' (message content) to the bot in DM, the bot needs to send 'Hello!' (message content) to the specified channel (logs channel).
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client({ intents:['DIRECT_MESSAGES'],
partials: ['MESSAGE'] });
client.on('ready', () =>{
console.log('Bot Online!'); //bot successfully logged in
});
client.on('message', async (message) => {
await client.channels.cache.get('CHANNEL ID').send(message.content);
console.log(message.content); //log messages
return;
});
// Authorizing
client.login('LOGIN');
The thing is that when the bot sends the message to the log channel. It also triggers the message event again. To avoid this simply add
if(message.author.bot) return;
You code would look like
client.on('message', async (message) => {
if(message.author.bot) return;
await client.channels.cache.get('CHANNEL ID').send(message.content);
console.log(message.content); //log messages
return;
});
You can use
if(message.guild) return;
client.on('message', async (message) => {
if(message.guild) return;
await client.channels.cache.get('CHANNEL ID').send(message.content);
console.log(message.content); //log messages
return;
});
Checking if the message comes from a guild should stop this. Return early if message.guild is truthy (in DM message.guild is null which is a falsey value)
if (message.guild) return;
You would put this at the top of the event callback so that nothing runs if it's in a guild
For Discord.js v13 use the CHANNEL partial as well, i hope that works
Btw
if (message.channel.type != "DM") return;
