Here's my code, any idea on why it wont work?

client.on('userUpdate', (oldMember, newMember) => {
  debug("UserUpdate event fired");
  const oldUsername = oldMember.user.username;
  const newUsername = newMember.user.username;

  // Check if the username has changed
  if (oldUsername !== newUsername) {
    // Username has been changed
    debug(`User '${oldUsername}' changed their username to '${newUsername}'`);

    // You can perform any actions or emit events here based on the username change
    eventEmitter.emit('usernameChange', oldUsername);
  }
});

client.on('userUpdate', (oldMember, newMember) => {
  debug("UserUpdate event fired");
  const oldUsername = oldMember.user.username;
  const newUsername = newMember.user.username;

  // Check if the username has changed
  if (oldUsername !== newUsername) {
    // Username has been changed
    debug(`User '${oldUsername}' changed their username to '${newUsername}'`);

    // You can perform any actions or emit events here based on the username change
    eventEmitter.emit('usernameChange', oldUsername);
  }
});

its supposed to detect username changes, but it wont even run in the first place

hold on lemme grab it here

// root file
// declaring
const { EventEmitter } = require("events");
const eventEmitter = new EventEmitter();


// pushing to container
eventEmitter.emit('usernameChange', oldUsername);


// command file
 eventEmitter.on("usernameChange", async (username) => {
  // ...
}

// root file
// declaring
const { EventEmitter } = require("events");
const eventEmitter = new EventEmitter();


// pushing to container
eventEmitter.emit('usernameChange', oldUsername);


// command file
 eventEmitter.on("usernameChange", async (username) => {
  // ...
}

[Object: null prototype] {
  shardDisconnect: [Function (anonymous)],
  ready: [Function (anonymous)],
  userUpdate: [Function (anonymous)],
  messageCreate: [AsyncFunction (anonymous)]
}

[Object: null prototype] {
  shardDisconnect: [Function (anonymous)],
  ready: [Function (anonymous)],
  userUpdate: [Function (anonymous)],
  messageCreate: [AsyncFunction (anonymous)]
}

stringifying it returns an empty object

alright gimme a moment

Please add the following code to your code base outside of any other event listeners and provide the full log output relevant to your issue.

client
    .on("debug", console.log)
    .on("warn", console.log)

client
    .on("debug", console.log)
    .on("warn", console.log)

- Note: if you initialize your Client as bot or other identifiers you need to use these instead of client - If the output is too long to post consider using a bin instead: gist | paste.gg | sourceb.in | hastebin

no, the error turned out to be because I added some random GatewayDispatchEvents thing inside of the intents list that was an issue made by me good call ^ I just tried changing the username of my alt, that is in the same server as my bot. Nothing printed oh ok messageCreate event seems to work fine so its only the userupdate event

so what would I use to check if a user's name updated? which one? and I'd still use the UserUpdate event? the docs wont let me search for anything which is why im asking here wait this is for actual discord docs? I was talking about the discord.js.org docs not working the search doesent work

supgOP•2y ago

supgOP•2y ago

I put in anything and it always says no result found oh it was core package, changing to discord.js works perfectly could I use guildMemberUpdate to check the username change of a user alright ill check docs

we already have that intent added heres the current function, would this work?

client.on('guildMemberUpdate', (oldMember, newMember) => {
  debug("UserUpdate event fired");
  const oldUsername = oldMember.user.username;
  const newUsername = newMember.user.username;

  // Check if the username has changed
  if (oldUsername !== newUsername) {
    // Username has been changed
    debug(`User '${oldUsername}' changed their username to '${newUsername}'`);

    // You can perform any actions or emit events here based on the username change
    eventEmitter.emit('usernameChange', oldUsername);
  }
});

client.on('guildMemberUpdate', (oldMember, newMember) => {
  debug("UserUpdate event fired");
  const oldUsername = oldMember.user.username;
  const newUsername = newMember.user.username;

  // Check if the username has changed
  if (oldUsername !== newUsername) {
    // Username has been changed
    debug(`User '${oldUsername}' changed their username to '${newUsername}'`);

    // You can perform any actions or emit events here based on the username change
    eventEmitter.emit('usernameChange', oldUsername);
  }
});

I just changed username and it didnt work ok so we used guildMemberUpdate and it only fired for a username update like the display name but not the actual @ username
