I have this very basic code for a very basic discord bot
since the new discord.js version 13 you need to declare intents.
I tried doing that using the bitmap 32767 (basically declaring all intents), however the bot doesnt trigger the "messageCreate" event when a message is send in the dms it only works in servers.
All privileged gateway intents on the developer site have been set to true.
What am I missing?
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const allIntents = new Discord.Intents(32767);
const client = new Discord.Client({ intents: allIntents });
require("dotenv").config();
const botName = "Miku";
client.once("ready", () => {
//gets executed once at the start of the bot
console.log(botName + " is online!");
});
client.on("messageCreate", (message) => {
console.log("got a message");
});
(async() => {
//bot connects with Discord api
client.login(process.env.TOKEN);
})();
You cannot listen for events in the Direct Messages unless they are direct responses/replies/reactions to the initial message.
For example, you can send a message to new members and wait for a response:
client.on('guildMemberAdd', member =>{
member.send("Welcome to the server!");
message.awaitReactions(filter, { max: 1, time: 60000, errors: ['time'] })
.then((collected) => {
//Now, write your code here that handles the reactions.
});
but there is no way to listen for events within the Direct Messages. As in, client.on... will never fire because of a DM event.
