How to get DiscordJS Message in robot.hear() scripts? #7

Open betaMFD opened 2 years ago

betaMFD commented 2 years ago

Is the DiscordJS Message easily accessible somehow from a robot.hear() or robot.respond() script?

I "cheated" on my fork and just saved it raw to the robot robot.discordJsMessage = message in onmessage so I can access it easily but that doesn't feel very clean or correct. But I'm using it constantly because all the good features are in the DiscordJS Message.

What do you mean exactly? Like take parts of the message and use them in the response?

While I'd be happy if it were set in the response, I want the DiscordJS Message object because it has a lot of DiscordJs functionality. So I don't want parts of it, I want the whole object. I can't see where I can get it right now without having the robot save it for me in the adapter's onmessage function, or forgoing robot.hear()/robot.respond() all together and using robot.client.on() which feels like I'm wasting the hubot infrastructure.

Does that make sense?

In the adapter's onmessage, I've tried just passing the DiscordJs Message object to @robot.receive instead of creating and passing the Hubot TextMessage object, but I end up with an error because the DiscordJs User object doesn't have the "room" in it.
