is there a way to check if commands initialized or not

what exactly do you mean with initialized?
Are you talking about application commands being registered or not?
Are you talking about commands being loaded by sapphire?
Something else?
yes

im sending message when bot is ready
but this comes later
i want to send first this then my message
TL;DR: Do not use
ts-node, use tsc-watch instead.
We very strongly discourage using ts-node because it was never meant to be used for bots.
ts-node is designed for REPL purposes. That's short for Read Eval Print Loop.
Which means to read some code, dump it in an eval() statement, print the result, and loop.
A discord bot is not that.
A Discord bot sets up a permanent websocket connection to the discord server and connects to the rest gateway.
There is read yes, but no eval, no print, and no loop.
So what should you use instead?
The most ideal way is to just use the watch flag of tsc (tsc --watch) and run node dist/index.js to run your bot, then cancel that process and restart it when you have changes that require restarting.
You would open 2 terminal tabs, 1 in which you run tsc --watch and another in which you run the bot.
This is in particular the most ideal way, because Discord has a limit to the amount of times you can login with your bot, or register commands, per day.
Constantly logging in over and over again due to an auto-restarting process will get you close to that limit very quickly and once you exceed it, your development will be halted entirely for the current day.
However, this can be quite tedious so a great package to use instead is tsc-watch.aw
how did u know that im using ts node
as for moving the message, that's not possible. There is also no point to it at all really.
your screenshot says
ts-node index.tsno no i just asked if there is a way soemthng like
if (client.CommandsLoaded())
smth like this
that's just the ready event.
okay then is there something like after ready or smth else
i can just delay ik but just curious
other than that there's the
ApplicationCommandRegistriesRegistered event which is when all the application commands are ready. All events are documented on our website: https://www.sapphirejs.dev/docs/Documentation/api-framework/#events
Also if all these questions are just because you're having trouble with loading commands, refer to the big red blurb at the top of the guide that's there to be read: https://www.sapphirejs.dev/docs/Guide/getting-started/getting-started-with-sapphireyea i can send my message in this event
i just want because im using console inputs
and it brokes at first cmd
