So, I want to wait for a message from user used specific command. I know that the filter is probably wrong, but I have no idea now how can I approach this.
I tried something like this:
const msg_filter = m => m.author.id === message.author.id;
message.channel.awaitMessages(msg_filter, {
max: 1
});
But now, how can I get this working? Because I googled for several hours and couldn't find a way to solve this issue. I just want to fetch a message from same user as used the command (And I was only able to fetch message from bot, nothing more).
Here's a link to the documentation on TextChannel#awaitMessages
But in a nutshell, awaitMessages returns a promise that you have to resolve, like this:
const msg_filter = (m) => m.author.id === message.author.id;
const collected = await message.channel.awaitMessages({ filter: msg_filter, max: 1 });
// Or without async/await
const msg_filter = (m) => m.author.id === message.author.id;
message.channel.awaitMessages({ filter: msg_filter, max: 1 })
.then((collected) => {
// ...
});
and collected will be a Collection of messages. Since you're only collecting 1 message, you can use collected.first() to get the first (and only) message in the collection, and then from there you can get it's .content, or .reply() to it, or do whatever else you want to do with the message.
Take a look at the official discordjs guide for this.
Example:
// `m` is a message object that will be passed through the filter function
const filter = m => m.content.includes('discord');
const collector = interaction.channel.createMessageCollector({ filter, time: 15000 });
collector.on('collect', m => {
console.log(`Collected ${m.content}`);
});
collector.on('end', collected => {
console.log(`Collected ${collected.size} items`);
});
Your format isn't wrong you just need to change the position of filter!
const msg_filter = m => m.author.id === message.author.id;
message.channel.awaitMessages({
filter: msg_filter,
max: 1
});
and make sure you put
'DIRECT_MESSAGES'
on intents function
