Creating a leave voice channel command for a bot

I have a working join command for discordjs v14, so now I'm trying to make a working disconnect command. code is here:

const { SlashCommandBuilder, ChannelType} = require('discord.js');
const { joinVoiceChannel, VoiceConnectionStatus, AudioPlayerStatus, VoiceConnection, getVoiceConnection, createAudioResource, createAudioPlayer} = require('@discordjs/voice')

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('leave')
        .setDescription('Get the discord bot to leave the vc it is currently in <>_<>'),
    async execute(interaction) {

        const channel = interaction.options.getChannel('channel');

        const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
            channelId: channel.id,
            guildId: channel.guild.id,
            adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
        }); 

        connection.destroy();

        await interaction.reply(`successfully left ${channel}!`);


    },
};

const { SlashCommandBuilder, ChannelType} = require('discord.js');
const { joinVoiceChannel, VoiceConnectionStatus, AudioPlayerStatus, VoiceConnection, getVoiceConnection, createAudioResource, createAudioPlayer} = require('@discordjs/voice')

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('leave')
        .setDescription('Get the discord bot to leave the vc it is currently in <>_<>'),
    async execute(interaction) {

        const channel = interaction.options.getChannel('channel');

        const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
            channelId: channel.id,
            guildId: channel.guild.id,
            adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
        }); 

        connection.destroy();

        await interaction.reply(`successfully left ${channel}!`);


    },
};

• 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.

discord.js: v14.11.0 node: v18.16.0

So, you don't need most of those in the require() and you don't need to join the channel again. Best way to do it is to just use: https://old.discordjs.dev/#/docs/voice/main/function/getVoiceConnection Then destroy it, it can return undefined so you should check for that. https://old.discordjs.dev/#/docs/voice/main/class/VoiceConnection?scrollTo=destroy Here is what you could use as an example based off your code:

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');
const { getVoiceConnection } = require('@discordjs/voice')

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('leave')
        .setDescription('Get the discord bot to leave the vc it is currently in <>_<>'),

    async execute(interaction) {
        let connection = getVoiceConnection(interaction.guild.id);
        if (connection === undefined) {
            await interaction.reply("I am not in a vc!");
            return;
        };
        connection.destroy();
        await interaction.reply(`Successfully left ${channel}!`);
    },
};

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');
const { getVoiceConnection } = require('@discordjs/voice')

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('leave')
        .setDescription('Get the discord bot to leave the vc it is currently in <>_<>'),

    async execute(interaction) {
        let connection = getVoiceConnection(interaction.guild.id);
        if (connection === undefined) {
            await interaction.reply("I am not in a vc!");
            return;
        };
        connection.destroy();
        await interaction.reply(`Successfully left ${channel}!`);
    },
};

Discord.js

Discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. It takes a much more object-oriented approach than most other JS Discord libraries, making your bot's code significantly tidier and easier to comprehend.

interaction.guild.members.me.voice.disconnect()

Box Bunny with Fan NoisesOP•2y ago

it works, though in the debug console it says channel is not defined unless

Nixtl•2y ago

IIRC this leaves the VoiceConnection open but disconnected, can start eating ram.

Box Bunny with Fan NoisesOP•2y ago

the code works now when I changed it to this

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');
const { getVoiceConnection } = require('@discordjs/voice')

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('leave')
        .setDescription('Get the discord bot to leave the vc it is currently in <>_<>'),

    async execute(interaction) {

        const channel = interaction.options.getChannel('channel');

        let connection = getVoiceConnection(interaction.guild.id);
        if (connection === undefined) {
            await interaction.reply("I am not in a vc!");
            return;
        };
    
        connection.destroy();

        await interaction.reply(`Successfully left ${channel}!`);
    },
};

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');
const { getVoiceConnection } = require('@discordjs/voice')

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('leave')
        .setDescription('Get the discord bot to leave the vc it is currently in <>_<>'),

    async execute(interaction) {

        const channel = interaction.options.getChannel('channel');

        let connection = getVoiceConnection(interaction.guild.id);
        if (connection === undefined) {
            await interaction.reply("I am not in a vc!");
            return;
        };
    
        connection.destroy();

        await interaction.reply(`Successfully left ${channel}!`);
    },
};

however, it says "successfully left null" whenever it leaves is there any way to change that so it displays the channel it left?

Nixtl•2y ago

Oh yeah at the end there, channel needs changed

Box Bunny with Fan NoisesOP•2y ago

what do I change it to?

Aman•2y ago

That depends, interaction.guild.members.me.voice represents the current voice connection, if you choose to destroy it, any ongoing stream will be destroyed too (doesn't sound good to me, cuz it's like a sudden jerk) disconnecting would be safer

Box Bunny with Fan NoisesOP•2y ago

what should I change 'channel' to in order to grab the channel it's disconnecting from?

Nixtl•2y ago

If you want to just say the name, change client to: interaction.guild.members.me.voice.channel.name If you want to ping it change ${client} to <#${interaction.guild.members.me.voice.channel.id}>

Box Bunny with Fan NoisesOP•2y ago

ended up getting an error saying cannot read properies of null (reading 'id') and the application did not respond

Aman•2y ago

Djs works with cache so if you leave your bot connected and restart your bot to apply changes it won't work, just like a phone that closes all apps before shutdown/restart

Box Bunny with Fan NoisesOP•2y ago

oh, so if I reformat it so the message appears before the disconnect it'll work? tried it, and it still gave me the same error so I'm wondering if it's an issue with the statement in general

Aman•2y ago

Send the message before disconnecting

Box Bunny with Fan NoisesOP•2y ago

tried it, and it still gave me the same error

Aman•2y ago

Disconnect the bot from any voice channel, run a command to make it join again, and try disconnecting with the new command If the error persists show me what it is

Box Bunny with Fan NoisesOP•2y ago

Cannot read properties of null (reading 'id')

Aman•2y ago

Are you using this code?

Box Bunny with Fan NoisesOP•2y ago

I changed it a bit so it's this as recommended

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');
const { getVoiceConnection } = require('@discordjs/voice')

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('leave')
        .setDescription('Get the discord bot to leave the vc it is currently in <>_<>'),

    async execute(interaction) {

        const channel = interaction.options.getChannel('channel');

        let connection = getVoiceConnection(interaction.guild.id);
        if (connection === undefined) {
            await interaction.reply("I am not in a vc!");
            return;
        };
    
        await interaction.reply(`Successfully left ${interaction.guild.members.me.voice.channel.id}!`);

        connection.destroy();
    },
};

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');
const { getVoiceConnection } = require('@discordjs/voice')

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('leave')
        .setDescription('Get the discord bot to leave the vc it is currently in <>_<>'),

    async execute(interaction) {

        const channel = interaction.options.getChannel('channel');

        let connection = getVoiceConnection(interaction.guild.id);
        if (connection === undefined) {
            await interaction.reply("I am not in a vc!");
            return;
        };
    
        await interaction.reply(`Successfully left ${interaction.guild.members.me.voice.channel.id}!`);

        connection.destroy();
    },
};

Aman•2y ago

await interaction.reply({
  content: `Successfully left ${interaction.guild.members.me.voice.channel}`
});

await interaction.reply({
  content: `Successfully left ${interaction.guild.members.me.voice.channel}`
});

If this doesn't work sadly you would have to fetch 😔

Box Bunny with Fan NoisesOP•2y ago

what does changing it to content do?

Aman•2y ago

Nothing, it will appear as raw text Same as what's written earlier, just ordered A response body may have

{
  content: "",
  embeds: [],
  components: [],
  files: []
}

{
  content: "",
  embeds: [],
  components: [],
  files: []
}
