How to get bots to use discord commands? about discord.js HOT 20 CLOSED

1. Learn JS
2. Read the Discord.JS documentation
3. Read what we said above.

from discord.js.

Using commands? Idk about.

Mentioning people? Here

var target = bot.getUser("username", stringWithUsername);
var response = target.mention + ", your message.";
bot.sendMessage(message.channel, response);

from discord.js.

If you want to mention them, no. If you just want their username, yep.

To mention do: msg.sender.mention() OR do msg.sender + ""

..... replace "stringWithUsername" so that it is a variable that has the username in in...

from discord.js.

You can also make a message TTS by specifying the option parameter, check
the docs for Client.sendMessage for an example of this.

Good to know, re TTS

from discord.js.

so msg.sender.username?

from discord.js.

Or, if you want to mention the sender at the beginning bot.reply(message, "what you want to tell them");

from discord.js.

so this is suppose to send a tts msg?
if (msg.content === "!notice") {
bot.sendMessage(msg.channel, "Hey " + msg.sender.username + "!", true)
}

from discord.js.

ok, i think i'm good

from discord.js.

That's not what. "msg.sender.username" is just going to give you the string. That's not what I showed you to Mention them.

from discord.js.

yeah, for this one i just want the string, but want the bot to tts the whole msg. Specifying the parameter for tts does not seem to make the bot tts the msg

from discord.js.

Options is an object, not just true. You need to use:

{
tts:true
}

hi @khionu what do you mean by replacing "stringWithUsername" as a variable, I am new to discord.js so could you kindly show men how you can do this in javascript,

Thanks in advance!

from discord.js.

@FredyTek are you trying to send a message that mentions someone?

from discord.js.

Please don't revive old issues... Make a new one if you have a question

from discord.js.

Yes @Azoy
I will @abalabahaha

from discord.js.

can someone help me? what im trying to do is so if someone types "@botName hi" the bot will say whatever back but how do you get teh prefix to be the bots @?

from discord.js.

@ChlckenWings I got that to work by simply watching the message.content to include client.user which is my bot.

So, for example:
if(message.content.includes(client.user)){ message.channel.send('Yes?'); }

Hope that helps.
