How to create a discord bot that only respond to one particular word and not just includes it-CodePudding

I mean like if a person says "hi" it will respond hi but not if person says "hi anythingelse"

CodePudding user response：

here is the way you would check if a variable equals "hi" and print "hi" to the console.

var usrResponse = "hi"

if(usrResponse === "hi"){

  console.log("hi")

}

This is actually very easy and better method that i would recommend. You have to methods the message.content.match or the message.content.startsWith the 1st method is used for detecting the exact letter on any comment ex. hello i u like the detected i want is u anywhere on the comment is found the letter u it will reply as for the second it only works if the first letter is in the beginning of the comment ex. u hi lol it wont work if the letter is in the middle as for the 1st option.

//1st method
if(message.content.match("u") {
message.channel.send({ content: 'u hi?' })
}
//2nd method 
if(message.content.startsWith("u") {
message.channel.send({ content: 'u hi?' })
}
// I would recommend you to add this to your message.js or your main/index.js
// or else this won't work i hope i helped you enough
