Sending Bots Name Not Users Discord-CodePudding

So here is my code

const Discord = require('discord.js');

const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [4611] });

let targetChannel = '906686653874176090' //target channel

client.once('ready', () => {
    console.log('Ready! - Made By Woodington');
});  

client.on('messageCreate', gotMessage);

function gotMessage(msg) {
    if (msg.channel.id !== targetChannel) { 
        client.channels.fetch(targetChannel)  
        .then(channel => channel.send(msg.content   `${client.user.tag}`)) 
        .catch(console.error);
    }
}

What it does is forward messages to another channel, with the users Discord tag at the bottom. However, it sends the bots Discord name and not the original senders. Any ideas?

CodePudding user response：

You are using the client variable which is your own bot. You need to make use of the msg parameter you received within the event. That's the reason why your bot sends its own tag, because client.user.tag equals YourBot#0000.

To send the author's tag, replace client.user.tag with the following:

msg.author.tag

This will return Author's Username#0000
