So I was working on this project where people will DM the BOT and run command and it replies test. But it doesn't reply.
client.on("messageCreate", async message => {
if (message.content.startsWith(prefix)) {
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/g);
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
if (message.channel.type === 'dm') {
message.reply("test");
}
}
});
That's because you didn't enable the intents for getting a dm message, try putting those two on your client declarations :
const client = new Discord.Client({
intents : ['DIRECT_MESSAGES','GUILD_MESSAGES'],
partials: ["CHANNEL","MESSAGE"]
})
here is a way:
1.Create a file named ** 'privateMessage.js'** and in the main file add:
const privateMessage = require('./privateMessage')
client.on('ready' ,() =>{
console.log('I am online')
client.user.setActivity('YouTube Music 🎧', {type:'PLAYING'})
privateMessage(client, 'ping', 'pong')
})
and in the file we just created privateMessage.js add:
module.exports=(client, triggerText, replyText)=>{
client.on('message', message =>{
if(message.content.toLowerCase()===triggerText.toLowerCase()){
message.author.send(replyText)
}
})
}
