How can I mention 2 users in a discord bot message

Question

I'm using discord.js.

I'm trying to make a bot command that will output the following output:

Welcome, (mentioned user 1) and (mentioned user 2), enjoy your stay!

When the syntax is:

(prefix) getaroom for (mentioned user 1) (mentioned user 2)

Help?!

Answer 1

Although message.mentions.users.first() works well for the first mentioned user when it comes to wanting a second, third or maybe even fourth we start running into various issues.

The way I prefer resolving this issue is by running the .forEach() function through message.mentions.users .

Example:

var prefix = 'yourPrefixHere'; //Defining your prefix
client.on('message', message => { //Adding your event listener
    if (message.content.toLowerCase().startsWith(prefix + 'getaroom') { //When the command is entered
        if (!message.mentions.first()) return message.channel.send(`You have not defined your users.`); //If the message did not include mentioned users
        var count = 0; //To find out what user we're on.
        let user1; //Defining the users
        let user2; //Defining the users
        message.mentions.forEach(user => {
            count++; //Adding one onto the count variable
            if (count >= 3) return; //If the user mentioned more than two users return
            if (count === 1) user1 = message.guild.members.cache.get(user.id); //Getting the first mentioned user
            else user2 = message.guild.members.cache.get(user.id); //Getting the second mentioned user
        });
        //Rest of your code...
    }
}

You can convert the message.mentions.users collection to an array of user IDs with Collection.prototype.keyArray() .

const [first, second] = message.mentions.users.keyArray();

if (!first || !second)
 return message.channel.send('You need to mention two users!');

message.channel.send(`Welcome, <@${first}> and <@${second}>, enjoy your stay!`);

If you convert them to a string with the @ symbol in front of it does it work. I'm pretty sure this used to work when I worked on bots in python.
