Check if user that sent a message have permission
How can i check if the bot have a specific permission on the server?
I was using
if (msg.member.permissions.has("USE_APPLICATION_COMMANDS")) but its giving me Cannot read properties of null (reading 'permissions')31 Replies

It's good practice to make your bots ignore other bots, including itself. This can be done through a single line of code:
<message> being whatever you defined message as.

oh morning
will add the check
wait
shouldn't i change <message>.member to <message>.author ?
just wondering after seeing the snippet for checking if the message author is a bot...
ah, just forget it, i read in the docs that .author and .member return diferent data
@Jô 🌈 🦄 well, i've update the main.js with the logging information you told me to put (plus i logged also
msg.member.permissions) and added the bot filter the bot putThe first message was me doing
gelo!help. The second one seems to be the bot returning the command list (since i positioned the bot filtering after the logging)i will move the bot filter to before the logs to see one thing
