Dude you have the best discord bot videos. Seriously. No other people have videos this concise and well done, Thanks a lot!

Hey i made this code for my bot can i talk to you personally and get the issues solved??(SAN925#9580 is my discord tag please please please invite me i need your help)

I did everything and its not work........I do !ping and it does not reply this is my command bot.on('message', message=>{ let args = message.content.substring(PREFIX.length).split(" "); switch(args[0]){ case 'ping': message.reply('pong!'); break; } })

@@garlandresponses you didn't declare the variable "args" that's what I guess

he mispelled it xD, then he fixed it, by spelling *"const"*

@@loop5720 oh shit

That's considered a botception. Put " if(message.author.bot) return;" code outside the event.

@@tidyen thanks, but that just gives me if(message.author.bot) return; ^ ReferenceError: message is not defined

happens to me too :(

What..?

@@KingJacob105 ikr lmfao r/youngpeopleyoutube?

@@cashess6912 oh hecc yeah

😐

Make a tutorial if possible please and thanks

;-;

more easier. make an notepad and type node . then save it as a bat. BUT put it in the discord bot folder

Did you know there is a way to instantly access to the command prompt through folder? Shift right click on any place while in a folder and there will having a selection to let you open the command prompt directly pointed to your folder

well no

where?

@@wildcard3383 when you make a command, you do message.channel.sendMessage, right? You need to use message.channel.send instead

Thought I was dumb or something, thats the fix.

what to replace rather than message.channel.fetchMessage ? @LUCATIVIOMAD2 Official

@@fgdx you can use msg.channel.send

can you help me? it says Discord.client is not a constructor

Worked ! Thank you alot.

Thanks, it work!

doesnt work for me :( vant get to work

ReferenceError: message is not defined

@@JohnPaul-jy2xw same problem i had, I don't understand who is this error...f""

you dont need that

@@axthny It would be considered a serious flaw in your code if the bot responsded when called with the wrong prefix.

@@vFSxMoPh3Dz Where to put that piece of code??>

@@Milan-uz1nc The logical place would be when the bot initially checks a message (after the bot.on). Hope this helps. // Server Commands bot.on('message', msg=>{ // Check prefix is valid if (msg.content.substring(0,prefix.length) != prefix) return;

@@vFSxMoPh3Dz Extremely helpful! Thank you very much!

weird because it worked fine for me.

OMG thanks so much

@@Dragonrage1oo1 because you have v11 of discord.js

wow thanks

Thanks you, I was stuck on this for a long time

... You don't need to create a level bot if you have MEE6

Well what if I want to have a bot that has a leveling system so I don't have to go through all the truble of setting up MEE6 and I want people to use my bot.

sproutville mee6 requires premium now, so for people who don’t have premium, mee6 won’t assign level roles

sproutville mee6 is shit now

Mee6 is free for leveling systems. Also, I'd say setting up mee6 is less troublesome than creating a bot that does leveling systems.

How do you turn the bot off Ctrl + C doesn't work for me

Thank you so much it kept showing the same error (typo) even though I fixed it over and over.

you might have to make a bot for that website, like Reddit API if you want to automatically steal memes

It's a long process, but well worth it.

Thank you so much! How would I go about if I was wanting to make the prefix something that has a length of 2, such as p!

@@pixel8122 Just change the variable to "const PREFIX = "p!". Then "PREFIX.length" will now equal 2. For example, // define PREFIX const PREFIX = "p!" // add an if statement to capture any message with the prefix if (msg.content.startsWith(PREFIX)) { // then assign the args just like before, PREFIX.length will be 2 here let args = msg.content.substring(PREFIX.length).split(" "); // rest of code switch(args[0]) { case .... } }

sorry im kind of confused... where do i implement this? Is it after 'let.args =' or...

Thanks mate, Really Help

I trash the terminal and then start a new one

same

i did 2 messages and then it stopped working

same the !ping just dosent do anything

Neymar Lovers he ded HAHAHA sorry

I'm not sure if it would work, but you maybe could create a json file and add all the administrators of your server, then, every time a person uses the command clear make the bot check if the user is in the json list.

P.S: There might be easier ways to do that, I don't make bots using discord.js so i'm not sure, I use Python.

Gameramante not even close, but here is how you would do it . if(!message.member.hasPermission("Administrator ")) return message.reply("you Don’t have enough permissions.");

@@joxdv Oh dang, i didn't know that, well thanks i'm still learning JS

Gameramante you good bro, no worry’s

whatsup with that? same with me

The second line of code under the bot.on(message) that says (PREFIX.length) is important. Also the prefix const is important that you have at least one prefix in the string, or in the ' '

I did that and it still does not work for me

do one thing , reinstall the files from cmd and regenrate the bot token. and do the prefix thing again.

i know right, put if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix)) return; above let args to get it to work.

@@Gold_74 it worked for me the if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix)) return;

@@Gold_74 Thanks bro.

@@DinoDonutMan Hey, so when I did that I can still do ping without any prefix and it works. Any fix for that?

@@jenniferl1154 paste if(!message.content.startsWith(PREFIX)) return; under bot.on('message', message=>{

is there a reason that line works where as message.channel.sendmessage doesnt?

@@mikechiaramonte2225 Probably versions, as this video was made longer ago.

Thanks!

@@player210 Anytime. Reply if you have any further questions :D

@Arsène Taranne lmao thats what I was saying lol click "read more"

you have to give your bot admin perms

i think dyno or mee6 can do that its a waste of time to make a bot only for that i mean you probably figured out how to make one or already using dyno or mee6 (i cant remember wich one has logs) since it has been 8 months

same it happened to me too

try looking for mistakes in you code. I for example messed up at line 14 where i wrote PREFIX.lenght instead of length. Cheers

try using the math.Random function

@@fabriziorasore5353 it actually does

@Suiko Waterlie can you elaborate, i'm confused

​@Leire Killough The fix is to add this: "if(message.content.substring(0, pre.length) == pre)" right before the switch. Then you have to put all of the switch code in curly brackets{}.

Your bot is going offline cus u need a hoster

ECDZ unsuspended account try saving then trying again

please go back to part 1 of making your bot and look carefully

yea me too

@Floopatron I tried that and it still doesnt work correctly

you will probably find the command list if you search up "how to purge chat with a discord bot" or something

bot.on('message', message=>{ let args = message.content.substring().split(" "); switch(args[0]){ case '!clear': if(!args[1]) return message.reply('Error. Please specify how much messages you want to delete.') //this sends an error to user if you only typed !clear. .then(sentMessage => sentMessage.delete({timeout: 5000})); //this deletes the message after 5 seconds. else if(!message.member.hasPermission("MANAGE_MESSAGES")) return message.reply('You don't have the power to use this command.') //this sends a message if you dont have the "manage_messages" permission. .then(sentMessage => sentMessage.delete({timeout: 5000})); //this deletes the message after 5 seconds. message.channel.bulkDelete(args[1]); //this deletes the messages. message.channel.send(args[1] + ` Messages has been cleared by ${member}`) .then(sentMessage => sentMessage.delete({timeout: 5000})); //this deletes the message after 5 seconds. break; }} since i couldnt handle with the prefix i used the '!' in the case XD the ${member} pings the user, so if you dont want to ping them, only want to type their username, you can use: message.channel.bulkDelete(args[1]); message.channel.send(args[1] + ` Messages has been cleared by ` + message.author.username) .then(sentMessage => sentMessage.delete({timeout: 5000}));

@@hulk-.- thankss!!

@@Nygma- btw there is an issue that i couldn't fix. when you type !clear asd, it sends asd messages has been cleared by (sender). so, it accepts the 'asd' as the argument. idk how to fix that, you have to look it up :/ (i couldn't find it, so if you find it can you message me through dc?

@@Nygma- found the solution for !clear asd. Add this after the second 'if' statement: else if(args[1] != Number) return message.reply('Error. Please type a number.') .then(sentMessage => sentMessage.delete({timeout: 5000}));

@IMHYR0X how do you make it a keyword?

bot.on('message', message => { if (!message.content.startsWith(PREFIX)) return; let args = message.content.substring(PREFIX.length).split(" ");

CIA Thanks!

make sure when grabbing your token from discord that you grab itf from the bot section and not the general section, i made this mistake i would have never noticed if i didn't rewatch the video and redo each step. You could have all your code perfect but you could never account for your token just being the wrong token

i fixed it

@@LethargicKitty how???

@@kwanlitzia ya have to check to make sure it is the prefix with an if put this if(message.content.startsWith('-') == false) return cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/433748436609662996/576820187408629762/unknown.png

me too it's confusing as hell

oh that explains, thank you so much!

You're amazing, thanks!

Yes, someone on discord name BradGames made a bot "Abuse" and it can have conversations with people.

I think the easiest is to use the Math.random() function followed by if statements that reply with text you want to send if the variable is in a certain range. Do some research on if statements and variables. If you want the list to be part of a user input thats a little difficult.

My bot wont reply, can u help me´?

you have to save everytime before you said node .

I had the same issue, in the case 'ping' command, instead type case PREFIX + 'ping' hope this fixes it for ya ; )

Instead of .sendMessage just put .send

I already fixedit somehow but i dont remember what i did😥
