Is there a way to make Jukebox reply to another bot's message?

[KTSnowy]

For example, I wanted to have another bot send a message ("jukebox play url") and jukebox would execute the command the other bot sent.

Basically what I'm trying to do is have a GUI app with speech recognition sending these commands to discord through another bot, and then have jukebox reply to these commands.

You can, but I generally avoid the idea of listening to bot (including own) messages, because it can cause security issues, for example, moderation commands usually check if the user has specific permissions, but when the bot has it and if non-moderators can use the bot to say something, that is a security issue.

But if you insist, you can change this statement in

jukebox/src/events/MessageCreateEvent.ts

Line 9 in c77acc1

if (message.author.bot || message.channel.type !== "GUILD_TEXT") return message;

to

// If the message is bot's own message, return
if (message.author.id !== message.client.user.id || message.channel.type !== "GUILD_TEXT") return message; 

Or even better, you can exclude this filter to specific bots

// If the user is a bot, and not some specific user, return
 if ((message.author.bot && message.author.id !== "SOME-ID") || message.channel.type !== "GUILD_TEXT") return message;

It should be safe if the bot doesn't have any moderation commands right?

As long as you're only listening to specific bots and it is authorized, yes

Sorry if I'm being annoying, but one last question.
Is it possible for the bot to reply to webhook messagens?

[Hazmi35]

Uh not sure, I haven't tried doing that, try to log message variable before if statements, see if the message from webhook is received.

If it's received then find a way to identify the message is from that specific webhook for the security stuffs I said earlier
