Hey @kkMihai,

The ping command is based on the difference in the time at which the message was posted and the timestamp of the message. This is generally how it works.

var ping = Date.now() - message.createdTimestamp + " ms";

To make this into a command, just wrap it up like this:

  if (message.content.startsWith(prefix + "ping")) {
    
    var ping = Date.now() - message.createdTimestamp + " ms";
    message.channel.sendMessage("Your ping is `" + `${Date.now() - message.createdTimestamp}` + " ms`");

  }

Replace prefix with the prefix of your bot.

Hope this helps!

It would be smarter to use the ping variable :grinning:

if (message.content.startsWith(prefix + "ping")) {
    var ping = Date.now() - message.createdTimestamp + " ms";
    message.channel.sendMessage("Your ping is `" + `${ping}` + " ms`");
}

It would be smart to do msg.channel.send(“Your ping is " + ${ping} + "”); to prevent two “ms”

Technically it’s not their ping, it’s the bot’s ping to discord, not the opposite. And you should also use client.ws.ping to get the ping.

It’d be easier to use template literals
same thing just neater i guess

if (message.content.startsWith(`${prefix} ping`)) {
    var ping = `${Date.now() - message.createdTimestamp} ms`;
    message.channel.sendMessage(`Your ping is ${ping}`);
}

cleaner version is

if (message.content.startsWith(prefix + "ping")) {
    message.channel.sendMessage(`Your ping is \`${Date.now() - message.createdTimestamp} ms\``);
  }
13

Even cleaner

if (message.content.startsWith(`${prefix}ping`))
    message.channel.sendMessage(`Your ping is \`${Date.now() - message.createdTimestamp}ms\``);
14

even cleaner

if (message.content.startsWith(`${prefix}ping`)) 
    msg.reply(`Your ping is \`${Date.now() - msg.createdTimestamp} ms\``);

You can do
message.channel.send(`${message.author}`, new Discord.MessageEmbed() .setTitle(`🏓**Pong** `) .setDescription(`**Latency:**${Date.now() - message.createdTimestamp}ms`) .setColor(‘BLUE’));
It worked for my and it’s like the screenshot you send
