Question

I want my bot to respond once to a command such as .on. However, it responds multiple times per input:

The code is:

client.on( message , message =>{
    if(message.content ===  .on ){
        message.channel.sendMessage( Testing Bot is now Online, Greetings,   + message.author.username);
    }

If anyone could point me in the right direction to make the bot respond once that would be great.

Answer 1

sendMessage is deprecated. Try using send instead.

client.on( message , message => {
    if(message.content ===  .on ) {
        message.channel.send( Testing Bot is now Online, Greetings,   + message.author.username);
    }
}

Also, if this still causes issues consider checking the id/content of the message event as well as the returned promise to make sure you didn t make a mistake elsewhere. It ll be obvious very quickly what s going on. That d be:

client.on( message , message => {
    if(message.content ===  .on ) {
        console.log( Received #  + message.id +  :   + message.content);
        message.channel.send( Testing Bot is now Online, Greetings,   + message.author.username)
        .then(message => console.log( Sent #  + message.id +  :   + message.content))
        .catch(console.error);
    }
}

Answer 2

Try to change the token, so all bots will stop working and then make sure, you just starting one instance.

Answer 3

I m late, but I think you had multiple instances of your bot running at the same time.
