DiscordAPIError: Invalid Form Body

Hello, I am trying to make a discord bot say something to me when I do a certain cmd but it doesn’t work I’m able to get the bot online and everything but it just won’t send a response if you guys can help me I will appreciate it, I’ll copy and paste the code below. (without the discord bot token so i don’t get my bot taken :stuck_out_tongue:

const Discord = require(‘discord.js’);

const client = new Discord.Client({

allowedMentions: {

    parse: ['everyone', 'user',  'roles'],

    repliedUser: true

},

intents: [

    "GUILDS",

    "GUILD_MESSAGES",

    "GUILD_PRESENCES",

    "GUILD_MEMBERS",

    "GUILD_MESSAGE_REACTIONS",

],

})

client.on(‘ready’, () => {

console.log("i am ready to go")

})

client.on(“messageCreate”, async message => {

if(message.content === "!ping"){

    message.channel.send("Hello!");

}

if(message.content === "!your gay"){

    message.channel.send("wow that's not very nice!");

}

})

client.login(“blank for saftey”)

this is the error i get

throw new DiscordAPIError(data, res.status, request);

It is most probably due to your use of strings in the intents array. They are flags not strings.

oh okay thank you very much for this and sorry if I seem stupid I’m new to coding Discord bots and coding in general :laughing:

That is a common error that people make. Always a good idea to check the documentation.
