Discord.js: How can i make my bot typing for some seconds?

Question

我想在我的 Discord 机器人响应命令之前在我的 Discord 机器人中放置一个小的“冷却时间”，你知道我必须添加什么才能实现吗？

Answer 1

You can simply mark the bot as typing, then use setTimeout(() => { ... }, 2e3) to eg wait 2 seconds before executing the code in the arrow function.

Normally this is used for if a command can take a long time to execute, eg if it's querying/fetching a database, doing heavy computations, ... and usually not manually. After all, most users want bots to respond quickly instead of wasting a few seconds for a typing indicator.

Answer 2

sleep(second * 1000)效率更高

Answer 3

Something as simply as this should work

client.on("message", (message) => {
    if(message.content == "!ping"){ 
        message.channel.startTyping();
       
        sleep(2000) // Wait two seconds.
        message.channel.send("pong!"); 
        message.channel.stopTyping()
    }
});
