discord.js - Imagine an app•3y ago

always reply to a specific user's messages

hello, i've only ever used djs for simple !ping pong! type commands, like !help for my discord members etc. I am wanting to set up a condition where if a specific user sends a message, any message, the bot will reply with !hi for example. i've tried using msg.author and msg.client but i may just be formatting it wrong as well. my bot.js is set up using if / else if as i only have a couple things in there. may i have some assistance if possible please? also i am on version 13.8.1.

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? • Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! • Show your code! • Explain what exactly your issue is. • Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.
