I want to mention the user that sent the mand. I know my code style is weird, but I like the JavaScript like functions.

So this is what I've tried, it mentions the user using the arguments sent. So for example, if you did !mention <user_id> it would mention the user. I want to auto-detect this from the user sent.

function pingFunction(arguments, receivedMessage) {
  if (arguments > 0) {
    receivedMessage.channel.send("<@" + arguments + ">");
  } else {
    receivedMessage.channel.send("<@" + arguments + ">");
  }
}

Thanks in advance!

The way to get id of the person who sent the message is message.author.id, or in your case, receivedMessage.author.id.

From there, you can replace receivedMessage.channel.send("<@" + arguments + ">") receivedMessage.channel.send("<@" + message.author.id + ">");
