Can't join voice channel

I am making a background music bot that joins a voice channel and plays, well background music. I copy-pasted the code from the documentation but it refuses to work. What am I doing wrong?

What documentation, any errors?

MaxzieOP•16mo ago

Documentation: https://discordjs.guide/voice/voice-connections.html#voice-connections Errors: No errors, but bot refuses to respond. Code:

const express = require("express");
const app = express()

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log("Project started!");
})

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  res.send("Hello world!");
})

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

 client.on("messageCreate", message => {
  if(message.content === "test") {
   message.channel.send("Now playing some awesome background music")
   message.channel.send("Music: ???")
    const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
    channelId: 1144178228550959184,
    guildId: 760830214564610048,
    adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
 });
}
})


client.login(process.env.token)

const express = require("express");

1. ids need to be strings 2. you'll need the GuildVoiceStates intent

d.js docs•16mo ago

- Discord ids follow the snowflake format: learn more - Discord ids must be represented as strings as they are larger than Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER, the largest integer that can be represented in JavaScript

- client.guilds.cache.get(123456789012345678)
+ client.guilds.cache.get("123456789012345678")

- client.guilds.cache.get(123456789012345678)
+ client.guilds.cache.get("123456789012345678")

duck•16mo ago

so then import joinVoiceChannel from @discordjs/voice

MaxzieOP•16mo ago

I’ll try Wait a second, how do I import it again?

Danial•16mo ago

Importing/requring something is basic JavaScript, do you know much of JavaScript?

MaxzieOP•16mo ago

i only know html javascript and i forgot most of it 💀

Danial•16mo ago

Then I recommend you check out #resources to brush up on your JavaScript fundamentals

MaxzieOP•16mo ago

Thanks

Danial•16mo ago

Of course

MaxzieOP•16mo ago

I'll try it tomorrow because I have to go soon

Danial•16mo ago
