Client.guilds.get() not working as intended

I was writing a Discord bot for my friend, and when I was making a rainbow color role feature for him, I stopped on a big error.



First of all, this is my code:



var guild = client.guilds.get("493432486148177923")
var role = guild.roles.get("501752627709870080");
var role2 = guild.roles.get("493436150019784704");
setInterval(() =>
role.setColor([Math.floor(Math.random() * 255), Math.floor(Math.random() * 255), Math.floor(Math.random() * 255)])
role2.setColor([Math.floor(Math.random() * 255), Math.floor(Math.random() * 255), Math.floor(Math.random() * 255)])
, 8000)


All stopped on the guild variable. It was giving out me null/undefined, and when going to guild.roles.get(), it caused my program to crash. I tried using .find() instead of .get() for finding the guild, but this also didn't work.

  • You're using the method correctly. The only thing you can do is checking the guild ID. Please note that the bot needs to be in the guild for it to work.

  • Are you sure the ID is the right one? How did you get it?

  • Right click on the guild and copy ID

  • Try using console.log(client.guilds.keyArray()) and tell my what you get

I can't give a reason as to why that happens, but the current method I'm using is this:



var g = client.guilds.get("GUILD-ID");
var c = g.channels.get("CHANNEL-ID");


Or in one line:



var c = client.guilds.get("GUILD-ID").channels.get("CHANNEL-ID");
