I need to get @everyone role ID to create a private chat for to server members (I'll restrict others except for those 2 users from reading and sending messages). How?
I tried typing
\@Admin
to get Admin's role ID as an example. But then I typed
\@everyone
and it creates a regular message mentioning everyone on the server (like typing @everyone in chat). No ID.
How do I get @everyone role ID?
The ID for the everyone role is the Guild ID.
If you try to do <@&123123> replacing 123123 with your guild id, it will almost tag everyone
Update: 10th April 2020
Now to mention everyone, all you need is to send the string @everyone: message.channel.send("@everyone");
To obtain the ID for the everyone role, you need to have the guild, which you get on some events like: message, guildCreate, and others.
From there: <something>.guild.roles.everyone, and with that you should be able to get the ID with <something>.guild.roles.everyone.id.
If you don't have access to the guild on a event, you can get the guild by it's ID with something like:
client.guilds.cache.get('guildID').roles.everyone.id, if you know that it will be in cache. If you want to be safe, you can do it like this:
client.guilds.fetch('guildID').then(guild => {
let id = guild.roles.everyone.id;
// do something with id
}
or with await:
let guild = await client.guilds.fetch('guildID');
let id = guild.roles.everyone.id;
Need to get @everyone Role?
<guild>.roles.everyone
It will get a role object. You can check that in Role Class
The guild class has a roles property, which is a RoleManager.
This manager has the property everyone:
The @everyone role of the guild
You can get its id with the id property of the role class:
client.on('message', (msg) => {
console.log(msg.guild.roles.everyone.id);
});
In V11 the guild class has a defaultRole property.
So the code is slightly different:
client.on('message', (msg) => {
console.log(msg.guild.defaultRole.id);
});
On Discord side, with dev option activated, you can right click in almost everything to grab it ID. For example go in the server settings, in role and right click on a role, you should have a copy ID option.
