Detailed description of a problem

A clear and concise description of what the problem is, with as much context as possible. The bot was joining fine and was working with bot.chat() correctly. Out of nowhere, the bot stops working and throws me off with this error: /Users/adm/Desktop/Bot/node_modules/mineflayer/lib/plugins/chat.js:177 bot._client.chat(smallMsg) ^

TypeError: bot._client.chat is not a function at /Users/adm/Desktop/Bot/node_modules/mineflayer/lib/plugins/chat.js:177:21 at Array.forEach () at chatWithHeader (/Users/adm/Desktop/Bot/node_modules/mineflayer/lib/plugins/chat.js:171:25) at EventEmitter.bot.chat (/Users/adm/Desktop/Bot/node_modules/mineflayer/lib/plugins/chat.js:207:5) at Object.

Node.js v17.9.1 What are you building? Simple bot that uses one plugin to load its skin: SkinRestorer What problem are you trying to solve? I need that bot to join

What did you try yet?

Did you try any method from the API?No, I don't even know what that is. Did you try any example? yes Any error from those? yes

Your current code

// Here I tell node.js mineflayer and a few other plugins are required to load
const mineflayer = require('mineflayer')

// Here, we set up the server connection (in this case, my skin plugin server)
const bot = mineflayer.createBot({
    host: 'SonicJavaBots.aternos.me',
    port: '37867',
    username: "SonicandTailsCDb",
    version: '1.18.2'
})
// I'm online right now, join up if you want

// And now, we work on the AI here!
// Here's all of the functions:
// One note tho: All functions are placeholders.
function onPhysicsTick () {}
function onSpawn () {
    bot.chat("Hey! I'm working properly :D")
}

// I need to set physicsTick because I want the AI to target me.
bot.on('physicsTick', onPhysicsTick)

// Next, I'm gonna set spawn actions.
bot.on('spawn', onSpawn)

// Set skin, of course!
bot.chat("/skin set SonicandTailsCDb robot1_stevetest")

Expected behavior

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen. The bot joining and having the skin

Additional context

Add any other context about the problem here. NO. Thanks :)

You used bot.chat before logging in to the server. Move bot.chat("/skin set SonicandTailsCDb robot1_stevetest") inside onSpawn

[SonicandTailsCD]

Of course I did. There's a bug with the plugin that I use that respawns you after applying the skin. Or maybe it's intentional, idk! After the bot respawns, it does it again. And it loops. What should I do?

Oh and me moving that line to onSpawn won't work for me. Anything else I can do?

I think it does that to refresh the skin and work properly. I think it's intentional

After the bot respawns, it does it again. And it loops. What should I do?

bot.on('spawn', onSpawn) will run the onSpawn function every time the spawn event gets emitted, not just once, making it loop. Change bot.on('spawn', onSpawn) to bot.once('spawn', onSpawn) to make it trigger only once

It worked for me when I moved it there

[SonicandTailsCD]

Alright. I'm gonna try that… don't close this yet, maybe I still have some other issue. Thanks in advance :)

[SonicandTailsCD]

This worked, the bot spawned correctly. Thanks :)
