Using commands? Idk about.

Mentioning people? Here

var target = bot.getUser("username", stringWithUsername);
var response = target.mention + ", your message.";
bot.sendMessage(message.channel, response);

..... replace "stringWithUsername" so that it is a variable that has the username in in...

You can also make a message TTS by specifying the option parameter, check
the docs for Client.sendMessage for an example of this.

Good to know, re TTS

[PastaAdventures]

so msg.sender.username?

[amishshah]

If you want to mention them, no. If you just want their username, yep.

To mention do: msg.sender.mention() OR do msg.sender + ""

Or, if you want to mention the sender at the beginning bot.reply(message, "what you want to tell them");

[PastaAdventures]

so this is suppose to send a tts msg?
if (msg.content === "!notice") {
bot.sendMessage(msg.channel, "Hey " + msg.sender.username + "!", true)
}

[khionu]

1) Learn JS
2) Read the Discord.JS documentation
3) Read what we said above.

[PastaAdventures]

ok, i think i'm good

[khionu]

That's not what. "msg.sender.username" is just going to give you the string. That's not what I showed you to Mention them.

[PastaAdventures]

yeah, for this one i just want the string, but want the bot to tts the whole msg. Specifying the parameter for tts does not seem to make the bot tts the msg

[amishshah]

Options is an object, not just true. You need to use:

{
tts:true
}

hi @khionu what do you mean by replacing "stringWithUsername" as a variable, I am new to discord.js so could you kindly show men how you can do this in javascript,

Thanks in advance!

[Azoy]

@FredyTek are you trying to send a message that mentions someone?

[abalabahaha]

Please don't revive old issues... Make a new one if you have a question

[FedeCuci]

Yes @Azoy
I will @abalabahaha

[ChlckenWings]

can someone help me? what im trying to do is so if someone types "@botname hi" the bot will say whatever back but how do you get teh prefix to be the bots @?

[saysora]

@ChlckenWings I got that to work by simply watching the message.content to include client.user which is my bot.

So, for example:
if(message.content.includes(client.user)){ message.channel.send('Yes?'); }

Hope that helps.
