Avoiding respond to a bots

November 6, 2021

Hi so im workig on discord bot
and using ping and pong as test
It loops because it respond to itself which bots
so if put message.author.bot === false in every commands its so annoying

client.on("message", message => {
  if(message.content === "ping" && message.author.bot === false){
    message.channel.send("pong")
  } else if(message.content === "pong" && message.author.bot === false){
    message.channel.send("ping")
  }
})

can someone help me?

>Solution :

You need to put if(message.author.bot) return; after client.on("message", message => { and as result get:

client.on("message", message => {
  if(message.author.bot) return;
  if(message.content === "ping" && message.author.bot === false){
    message.channel.send("pong")
  } else if(message.content === "pong" && message.author.bot === false){
    message.channel.send("ping")
  }
})

to ignore messages from bots
