Can someone please tell me how I can send a user a dm before he gets banned? Everything works fine, but the dm. It seems, that if i put the dm code where it is now, the user gets banned first, then gets a direct message which obviously does not work because the bot and the user do not share a server. My Code:
const { DiscordAPIError } = require("discord.js");
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();
module.exports = {
name: 'ban',
description: "Allows you to ban a member from the server!",
execute(message, args) {
const member = message.mentions.users.first();
const notBanYourself = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor("#ff0000")
.setTitle("Ban")
.setDescription("You cannot ban yourself!")
.setFooter(message.author.username)
.setTimestamp()
;
if(member.id === message.author.id) return message.channel.send(notBanYourself);
if(message.member.permissions.has("BAN_MEMBERS") || message.member.permissions.has("ADMINISTRATOR")){
const memberTarget = message.guild.members.cache.get(member.id);
const ban_dm = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor("#ff0000")
.setTitle("Ban")
.setDescription("You got banned from the " + message.guild.name + " Server by " + message.author.username)
.setFooter(message.author.username)
.setTimestamp()
;
memberTarget.send(ban_dm)
if(member) {
memberTarget.ban({ days: 3, reason: args.slice(1).join(" ") });
const banned = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor("#ff0000")
.setTitle("Ban")
.setDescription("User has been banned from the server successfully.")
.setFooter(message.author.username)
.setTimestamp()
;
message.channel.send(banned)
}
else {
const notBanned = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor("#ff0000")
.setTitle("Ban")
.setDescription("There was an error: You need to mention the user, which you want to ban! \n If you did that, you probably do not have the permission to ban users.")
.setFooter(message.author.username)
.setTimestamp()
;
message.channel.send(notBanned)
}
}
}}
Try using .then()
, to make it so that the ban only occurs after the message.channel.send()
event has finished.
const { DiscordAPIError } = require("discord.js");
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();
module.exports = {
name: 'ban',
description: "Allows you to ban a member from the server!",
execute(message, args) {
const member = message.mentions.users.first();
const notBanYourself = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor("#ff0000")
.setTitle("Ban")
.setDescription("You cannot ban yourself!")
.setFooter(message.author.username)
.setTimestamp()
if (member.id === message.author.id) return message.channel.send(notBanYourself);
if (message.member.permissions.has("BAN_MEMBERS") || message.member.permissions.has("ADMINISTRATOR")) {
const memberTarget = message.guild.members.cache.get(member.id);
const ban_dm = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor("#ff0000")
.setTitle("Ban")
.setDescription("You got banned from the " + message.guild.name + " Server by " + message.author.username)
.setFooter(message.author.username)
.setTimestamp()
memberTarget.send(ban_dm).then(() => {
if (member) {
memberTarget.ban({ days: 3, reason: args.slice(1).join(" ") });
const banned = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor("#ff0000")
.setTitle("Ban")
.setDescription("User has been banned from the server successfully.")
.setFooter(message.author.username)
.setTimestamp()
message.channel.send(banned);
} else {
const notBanned = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor("#ff0000")
.setTitle("Ban")
.setDescription("There was an error: You need to mention the user, which you want to ban! \n If you did that, you probably do not have the permission to ban users.")
.setFooter(message.author.username)
.setTimestamp()
message.channel.send(notBanned);
}
});
}
}
