DiscordJS V14 not catching Event "MessageCreate"

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits, Message } = require('discord.js');
const { token } = require('./config.json');

const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent] });

client.on("ready", function(){
    console.log(`the client becomes ready to start`);
    console.log(`I am ready! Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});

client.on("messageCreate", function(message){
    console.log(`a message was created`);
    console.log({message});
});


client.login(token);

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits, Message } = require('discord.js');

To receive direct message events on "messageCreate" with your bot, you will need: - The DirectMessages gateway intent - The Channel partial setting

𖥂 PixelFire 𖥂OP•6mo ago

const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent], partials: [Partials.Channel]});

const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent], partials: [Partials.Channel]});

Updated to this, still no messageCreate being fired.

You do want the messageCreate to fire from dms, not from a guild channel, right?

𖥂 PixelFire 𖥂OP•6mo ago

I am trying to see when any message is being fired from a guild in a channel. ^

chewie•6mo ago

Then you need the GuildMessages intent

Assuming like this?

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits, Partials,  Message } = require('discord.js');
const { token } = require('./config.json');

const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages], partials: [Partials.Channel]});

client.on("ready", function(){
    console.log(`the client becomes ready to start`);
    console.log(`I am ready! Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});

client.on("messageCreate", function(message){
    console.log(`a message was created`);
    console.log({message});
});


client.login(token);

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits, Partials,  Message } = require('discord.js');
const { token } = require('./config.json');

const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages], partials: [Partials.Channel]});

client.on("ready", function(){
    console.log(`the client becomes ready to start`);
    console.log(`I am ready! Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});

client.on("messageCreate", function(message){
    console.log(`a message was created`);
    console.log({message});
});


client.login(token);

chewie•6mo ago

yes

𖥂 PixelFire 𖥂OP•6mo ago

I tried that. Still nothing.

chewie•6mo ago

can you log eventFiles above the loop

𖥂 PixelFire 𖥂OP•6mo ago

I also tried with Events.MessageCreate rq let me look that up 💀

chewie•6mo ago

wait no wrong channel, wasnt meant for you

𖥂 PixelFire 𖥂OP•6mo ago

oops lol

PhonedLeek25•6mo ago

@PixelZero this is how I do it

client.on("messageCreate", msg => 
    {
        console.log("message detected by " + msg.author.tag.toString());
    }
)

client.on("messageCreate", msg => 
    {
        console.log("message detected by " + msg.author.tag.toString());
    }
)

can also use async (msg) but im new to javascript and don't know what that does for reference that would like this:

client.on("messageCreate", async (msg) => 
    {
        console.log("message detected by " + msg.author.tag.toString());
    }
)

client.on("messageCreate", async (msg) => 
    {
        console.log("message detected by " + msg.author.tag.toString());
    }
)

like i said im new to this so maybe you just need to not include function(){} and instead do msg => {} or async (msg) => {} if that doesn't work if there's some error message please show it

𖥂 PixelFire 𖥂OP•6mo ago

No error message for the methods I’ve tried already. I’ll try this in the morning when I get on my pc 👍

PhonedLeek25•6mo ago

That seemed to have worked. It's weird cuz the other code is now working too 💀 idk what fixed it but it's working now thanks for your help.
