Before you ask: I have the correct intents [Discord.GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, Discord.GatewayIntentBits.Guilds].

Here's what my code looks like.

const Discord = require("discord.js");

const client = new Discord.Client({intents: [Discord.GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, Discord.GatewayIntentBits.Guilds]});

// yada yada variables

client.on("messageCreate", (message) => {
   console.log('Doing Stuff')
}

I tried surrounding it with console.log(). Anything outside fired, anything inside didn't. No errors pop up, but testing my code results in nothing.

I'm fairly new to Javascript and Discord.js, so I don't know what else I should try.

Does this answer your question? https://stackoverflow.com/a/73369912/15353979 – Ali Navidi Jun 26 '23 at 23:06
No, as you can see, I already have messageCreate and not just message – Sman Jun 26 '23 at 23:24
What about the intents? – Ali Navidi Jun 26 '23 at 23:48
@AliNavidi You can see that both `Guilds` and `GuildMessages` intents are present. That's enough and `messageCreate` should fire. – Zsolt Meszaros Jun 27 '23 at 08:51

@Sman please check on developers portal that if you have enabled intents or not. – Ansh Tyagi Jun 27 '23 at 11:13
What are you trying to get `message` from DM or `guildMessage`. Do you have enable that feature at developer portal – HellCatVN Jun 28 '23 at 07:14
Yes, my bot is logged in @ZsoltMeszaros. – Sman Jun 29 '23 at 22:51
Okay, so, it turns out, my bot was logged in, but it was logged in at the wrong place [essentially the last line of code]. My bad. – Sman Jun 29 '23 at 23:05
