Discord bot, 1 hour timer reminder thingy

[bomberblyat]

Hi, i started making discord bot today just for fun mainly, but also to learn js.

 

So ive been trying to make a thing for this bot that notify's ppl every hour but i keep getting some odd error, also i really dont know how to do the "pause/sleep"

client.on('ready', () => {

    var testChannel = client.channels.cache.get(channel => channel.id === ('*channel id here*'))
    setInterval(() => {
        testChannel.send("TestMessage");
    },  3600);
});

thats my code so far, it should post Test message but i just keep getting this error, "TypeError: Cannot read property 'send' of undefined"

 

All help is appreciated.

I would assume that your clinet.channels.cache.get() is returning nothing. if you remove the timeout do you get the same error?

 client.channels.cache.get('channel id').send('Test'); this works, but i dont know implement the 1 hour time to it, like i get the timer right but it just keeps spamming it

I think i solved my issue 

Quote

client.on('ready', () => {

    setInterval(() => {

        client.channels.cache.get('ChannelID').send('Test');

    },  3600000);

},);

that should be on 1 hour timer now, ill see in a hour if it works as i want it to work

I've never used the library, but do you not want:

// this:
var testChannel = client.channels.cache.get('channel id')

// instead of this?
var testChannel = client.channels.cache.get(channel => channel.id === ('*channel id here*'))
