What do you mean by "does not seem to work"? Does it not pass your if statement? Do you get an error?

GalacticOP•4d ago

my discord.js is v14.14.1 nothing at all doesnt log, doenst error well i guess the logging part is my fault cus no debug but im kinda rusty at djs rn

Glaze•4d ago

does your client.handleDM event fire at all? if you log outside your if statement do you get anything?

GalacticOP•4d ago

yes, if i do !=== channeltype.dm it sends the debug message

Glaze•4d ago

can you console.log(message.channel.type)?

GalacticOP•4d ago

it doesnt log anything when in dms but logs 0 in text channels and im pretty sure i have partials this is my bot.js

Glaze•4d ago

it doesnt log anything? did you put the console log outside the if statement?

GalacticOP•4d ago

wait is there a partial for dms? yeah beneath the webhook client but outside the if statement

Glaze•4d ago

No, https://discord.js.org/docs/packages/discord.js/main/Partials:Enum

GalacticOP•4d ago

ok, so thats not the problem

Glaze•4d ago

You could try updating to latest 14.17.3. couldn't hurt. in case its a bug or something w/ djs

GalacticOP•4d ago

sure, lemme try ok im on 14.17.3 lemme try still nothing

Glaze•4d ago

also can you try logging just message for dm messages? curious if that logs anything. since it doesnt error on message.channel.type, that would mean message and message.channel are defined

GalacticOP•4d ago

nothing when dm but the full json when msg hmm

Glaze•4d ago

what happens if you replace

if (message.channel.type === ChannelType.DM) {

if (message.channel.type === ChannelType.DM) {

with

if (!message.guild) {

if (!message.guild) {

makes me think its not even reaching the logging point. strange

GalacticOP•4d ago

yeah STILL nothing with !message.guild

Glaze•4d ago

then its just not running that code it seems

GalacticOP•4d ago

exactly but when its a normal message everything is fine its strange in theory there should be nothing wrong its like it cant even see the dms

treble/luna•4d ago

missing DirectMessages intent

GalacticOP•4d ago

WHY- BRUHHH

Glaze•4d ago

oh the intent 😭 😭 😭 why didnt i think of that

GalacticOP•4d ago

why is there an intent for it 😭 when i coded this there wasnt one bru- well thanks last yea r but it worked before so idk
