Discord TTS bot

Hi there I am trying to create a discord bot where it would join a vc that I am in and when I use !t <Text> it wold join the vc I am in and would use a API to start talking and saying the text. (Yes I'm aware of discord TTS but wanted to do it as a learning experience). But when i start the bot and execute the command it doesn't work nor sends anything to the terminal that it has received anything please help thank you. Here's the code

require("dotenv").config();
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require("discord.js");

const intents = [
  GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
  GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
  GatewayIntentBits.GuildVoiceStates
];

const client = new Client({ intents });

client.on("ready", async() => {
  console.log("Bot is ready!");
});

client.on("message", async (message) => {
console.log("Message received:", message.content);
  if (message.content.toLowerCase() === "!t") {
    try {
      const args = message.content.trim().split(/ +/);
      console.log("Arguments:", args);

      const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
      console.log("Command:", command);

      if (command === "!t") {

        const textToSpeak = args.join(" ");

        console.log("Command received:", textToSpeak);

        if (!message.member.voice.channel) {
          return message.reply("You need to be in a voice channel to use this command.");
        }

        console.log("Attempting to join voice channel:", message.member.voice.channel.name);
        const connection = await message.member.voice.channel.join();
        console.log("Joined voice channel:", connection.channel.name);

        const dispatcher = connection.play(`http://ttsmp3.com/text-to-speech/${encodeURIComponent(textToSpeak)}`);

        dispatcher.on("finish", () => {
          console.log("Finished playing TTS. Disconnecting from voice channel.");
          connection.disconnect();
        });
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Error:", error);
    }
  }
});

client.login(process.env.BOT_TOKEN);

require("dotenv").config();
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require("discord.js");

const intents = [
  GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
  GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
  GatewayIntentBits.GuildVoiceStates
];

const client = new Client({ intents });

client.on("ready", async() => {
  console.log("Bot is ready!");
});

client.on("message", async (message) => {
console.log("Message received:", message.content);
  if (message.content.toLowerCase() === "!t") {
    try {
      const args = message.content.trim().split(/ +/);
      console.log("Arguments:", args);

      const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
      console.log("Command:", command);

      if (command === "!t") {

        const textToSpeak = args.join(" ");

        console.log("Command received:", textToSpeak);

        if (!message.member.voice.channel) {
          return message.reply("You need to be in a voice channel to use this command.");
        }

        console.log("Attempting to join voice channel:", message.member.voice.channel.name);
        const connection = await message.member.voice.channel.join();
        console.log("Joined voice channel:", connection.channel.name);

        const dispatcher = connection.play(`http://ttsmp3.com/text-to-speech/${encodeURIComponent(textToSpeak)}`);

        dispatcher.on("finish", () => {
          console.log("Finished playing TTS. Disconnecting from voice channel.");
          connection.disconnect();
        });
      }
    } catch (error) {

its messageCreate

™Z1coolOP•14mo ago

is this line of code? client.on("message", async (message) => {

treble/luna•14mo ago

yes and that command check is pretty useless because you already check the command, just to check it again

™Z1coolOP•14mo ago

oh okay thanks

duck•14mo ago

you will also need the MessageContent intent to receive the content of messages

™Z1coolOP•14mo ago

so like this? client.on("messageCreate", async (message) => {

treble/luna•14mo ago

yes

™Z1coolOP•14mo ago

Thanks Ill fix the other line instead of message.content?

treble/luna•14mo ago

no you need to add the intent in your client constructor

™Z1coolOP•14mo ago

oh okay thanks So the message is getting recived but not joining vc nor telling me that I have to be in a vc

treble/luna•14mo ago

show your updated code and also, you'd need the GuildVoiseStates intent Which you do so ignore that

MessageContent

MessageContent

kept on getting an error so I will add that later on

treble/luna•14mo ago

well That intent is the key of this working

™Z1coolOP•14mo ago

oh lol

d.js docs•14mo ago

- Error [DisallowedIntents]: Privileged intent provided is not enabled or whitelisted. - Error: Used disallowed intents If you are using the GuildMembers, GuildPresences, or MessageContent intents, you need to enable them via Developer Portal > Your app > Bot > Privileged Gateway Intents

but still isn't joining vc though when I use the command

treble/luna•14mo ago

and what is logging also dont stringify your errors like that It'll make them useless

™Z1coolOP•14mo ago

it just logging Message received: !t test okay thanks

treble/luna•14mo ago

well, !t test is not equal to !t your code expects it to be

™Z1coolOP•14mo ago

so now this is the new error

Message received: !t
Arguments: [ '!t' ]
Command: !t
Command received: 
Attempting to join voice channel: General
Error: TypeError: message.member.voice.channel.join is not a function

Message received: !t
