What does the last 2 lines do there?

Lixeiro Charmoso•13mo ago

setDMPermission is to not allow the command be run in the bot DMs setDefaultMemberPermissions permission that is allowed to execute the command

KingBaboonOP•13mo ago

Ok, I get this error now?

Lixeiro Charmoso•13mo ago

User must be user

KingBaboonOP•13mo ago

Oh no caps?

Lixeiro Charmoso•13mo ago

Yes

KingBaboonOP•13mo ago

Ok Is there a way to make it so only certain roles can do it instead of permissions?

Lixeiro Charmoso•13mo ago

As far as i know, no. But it may be possible

KingBaboonOP•13mo ago

Ok, how would I now get the user that they inputted when it replies, for example pinging them in the ping message.

Lixeiro Charmoso•13mo ago

const userToBePinged = interaction.options.getUser('user') ?? "";

KingBaboonOP•13mo ago

would that give me the id or what?

Lixeiro Charmoso•13mo ago

Is the user object i think Put a console.log to make sure

KingBaboonOP•13mo ago

how do i put a log in?

Lixeiro Charmoso•13mo ago

console.log(userToBePinged)

KingBaboonOP•13mo ago

Aaah so how would I put the userToBePinged.id into the interaction.reply

Template literals (Template strings) Template literals are literals delimited with backtick (`) characters, allowing for multi-line strings, string interpolation with embedded expressions, and special constructs called tagged templates.
