Random message using node.js

March 19, 2022

so i want to let my bot choose from multiple messages when someone sends prefix + random but everytime i test it it says "0" and i dont know why. This is what i have already.

client.on('message', message =>{
  const member = message.guild.member
  if(message.content === prefix + 'random'){
    message.channel.send('random1' | 'random2' | 'random3')
  }

});

i also have tried doing "," instead of "|" but then it only sends random1

>Solution :

If you want to send a random string, you cannot use OR operator (which is || btw…).

You have to do something like:

const randomStrings = ['random1', 'random2', 'random3'];
const getRandomInt = (max) => Math.floor(Math.random() * max);

client.on('message', (message) => {
  const member = message.guild.member;
  if (message.content === prefix + 'random') {
    message.channel.send(randomStrings[getRandomInt(randomStrings.length)]);
  }
});
