Bot says user ID instead of user name when there's a mention. about discord-tts-bot HOT 10 CLOSED

If you plan to do this, then add some more features like this. Like emoji name instead of emoji id, channel name instead of channel id...

Ok, I'm gonna put this as a feature request and try to get it done. I'll see if I can do it this week cause I've been quite busy :(

Alright! Take your time. I am in no big rush to get it fixed. :)

As of right now this is the normal behavior. Mentions are received as the user ID which is why the bot is saying the user ID instead of their name.

I don't know if it would be worth to parse the mentions so the bot says their name instead of their ID since you can essentially just write their name instead of mentioning them. Is there a reason why you mention the user rather than just writing their name?

I self-host the bot in a few servers, and sometimes some people tend to ping people on purpose, with the intent of saying the whole user id instead. It isn't a major issue, but for those who don't want to talk, it can get very annoying very fast.

I see, so you would expect the bot to say their name instead of their ID, right?

A simple solution for this issue which is not the best but good. There is mesage.cleanContent

we may use this on say command

const content = mesage.cleanContent.slice(`${this.client.prefix}say`.length);
ttsPlayer.say(content, GoogleProvider.NAME);

Hi, thanks again for the suggestion.

I still haven't found enough time to work on this, I'm waiting for my semester to end in about 3 weeks so I can work on this.

In any case, as you may have seen from issue #54, all commands will be updated into slash commands and that means no message event handler.

Fixed in #58.
