Type Effect.

[DJKieranl29]

I want to intergrate this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44751653/client-starttyping-is-not-a-function-discord-js into the bot for when the staff are typing a reply to the user. Please can you help me get this working... Thanks.

You can make use of the typingStart event, and using Channel.startTyping()

I wrote some code I haven't tested yet, and I'll edit it if it doesn't work, but here goes:

client.on("typingStart", async (channel, user) => {

  // channel must be DM and user must be human
  if(!channel.type === "dm" || user.bot) return;

  var support = await dbTable.get(`supportChannel_${message.channel.id}`);
  let supportUser = client.users.cache.get(support.targetID);
  supportUser.dmChannel.startTyping()
});

also add this before this and this:

supportUser.dmChannel.stopTyping();

I am so comfused i am local hosting it can u make it without all the random comfusing comments?

I want it so that if a user is typing to the bot the bot startstyping in the users channel If the staff are typing in the users ticket, the bot starts typing in the dms.

There you go

[DJKieranl29]

Where do you suggest i put it in the bot.js?

[DJKieranl29]

Could this work??

    client.on("typingStart", async (channel, user) => {

      // channel must be DM and user must be human
      if (!channel.type === "dm" || user.bot) return;

      var support = await dbTable.get(`supportChannel_${message.channel.id}`);
      let supportUser = client.users.cache.get(support.targetID);
      supportUser.dmChannel.startTyping()
      setTimeout(function () {
        supportUser.dmChannel.stopTyping();
      }, times);
    });

[Cyanic76]

Yep, you'd need to define times though. And the "Bot is typing..." would stay for x seconds, not until the message gets sent

[DJKieranl29]

How in the world do i do that one?

[Cyanic76]

client.on("typingStart", async (channel, user) => {
  let times = 5000; // 5 seconds
  if (!channel.type === "dm" || user.bot) return;
  var support = await dbTable.get(`supportChannel_${message.channel.id}`);
  let supportUser = client.users.cache.get(support.targetID);
  supportUser.dmChannel.startTyping()
  setTimeout(() => {
    supportUser.dmChannel.stopTyping();
  }, times);
});

[DJKieranl29]

When i added what u put it fucked up the bot

[Cyanic76]

client.on("typingStart", async (channel, user) => {
  let times = 5000; // 5 seconds
  if (channel.type === "dm" || user.bot) return;
  var support = await dbTable.get(`supportChannel_${message.channel.id}`);
  let supportUser = await client.users.fetch(support);
  supportUser.dmChannel.startTyping()
  setTimeout(() => {
    supportUser.dmChannel.stopTyping();
  }, times);
});
