How do I get the referenced user id from a referenced message?

let prevMessages = await message.channel.messages.fetch({ limit: 15 });
            prevMessages.reverse();
            await message.channel.sendTyping()
  
            prevMessages.forEach((msg) => {
                if (msg.author.id === message.author.id) {
                    conversationLog.push({
                        "role": "user",
                        "content": msg.content
                    });
                } else if (msg.author.bot && /* is a reference to a message sent by the msg.author*/) {
                    conversationLog.push({
                        "role": "assistant",
                        "content": msg.content
                    });
                }
            });

let prevMessages = await message.channel.messages.fetch({ limit: 15 });
            prevMessages.reverse();
            await message.channel.sendTyping()
  
            prevMessages.forEach((msg) => {
                if (msg.author.id === message.author.id) {
                    conversationLog.push({
                        "role": "user",
                        "content": msg.content
                    });
                } else if (msg.author.bot && /* is a reference to a message sent by the msg.author*/) {
                    conversationLog.push({
                        "role": "assistant",
                        "content": msg.content
                    });
                }
            });

I'm unsure what you want to know - you can get the user id of a message by using <Message>.author.id as you also did before in your code.

I use the openai api, and want to provide a bit more context to the answers. Because of that I want add the assistant role to the conversation log so that the bot doesnt repeat answers. What im trying to find out is how to get the referenced user of a message (like in the picture) to add the response to the conversation log. So that it only adds the replies of the conversation with the certain user to the log. (sorry for bad english) i hope this makes sense

Oh, you mean the message it replied to?

TrolliOP•2y ago

I want the user id of the original message that has been replied to, so that i can check if it isn't an other user

Alright, let me check the documentation You want to fetch the referenced Message with <Message>.fetchReference() which returns a Message object if there's a reference. Of that object you can check the .author.id to get the author id.

d.js docs•2y ago

Message#fetchReference() Fetches the Message this crosspost/reply/pin-add references, if available to the client

Note that the function is an async function and it could throw an error if there's no message reference

alr ima try that tried it and works ty ❤️ . One other question tho, do you know why I can't get the msg.author.id in this rewritten code:

let prevMessages = await message.channel.messages.fetch({ limit: 15 });
for (const msg of prevMessages) {
                if (isUser) {
                    if (msg.author.id === message.author.id) {
                          ...  }

let prevMessages = await message.channel.messages.fetch({ limit: 15 });
for (const msg of prevMessages) {
                if (isUser) {
                    if (msg.author.id === message.author.id) {
                          ...  }

I just get an error that says that it doesnt have an id

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id')

prevMessages is of type Collection<Snowflake, Message>. To loop over all messages, use for (const msg of prevMessages.values())
