discord.js - Imagine an app•2y ago

Not able to get the bot to reply when I say a specific message.

My friend and I are working on making a discord bot. We're trying to make it so when you type something specific, it'll reply. Take the ping/pong example. If I type ping, my bot will reply with pong. However, we have tried using YouTube tutorials to do this, and even if we copy word for word, it doesn't reply to "ping". We even tried using ChatGPT, and when we pasted our code, it said our code was correct and it should work. We really need help on this problem because it doesn't seem like we're doing anything wrong.

• 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.

You shouldn't use ChatGPT for discord.js as it's not up-to-date with v14, and can you show your code?

If you aren't getting content, embeds or attachments of a message, make sure you have the MessageContent intent enabled in the Developer Portal and provide it to your client:

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({
    intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent]
});

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({
    intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent]
});

we are currently reading your article that you sent We also have another problem When we look in the console and find the content line in the console, it says that there is nothing in the content line. For some reason, when I console.log messages, messages.content is blank rather then showing the message i sent.
