Random quote command remodel

I'm fairly new to JS, I found this piece of code for a Discord bot, and I was wondering how I could make it so when someone typed !quote, the response doesn't tag the user, and require additional text to be typed along with the command from the user. Thanks

if (command == "quote") {
if (args[1] != null) message.reply(quote[Math.floor(Math.random() * quote.length).toString(16)]); // if args[1], post random answer
else message.channel.send("!quote <your text here>");
}

channel.send

Message.reply() sends a message in the same channel with a mention tag. If you don't want the mention tag, you have to send a message in the same channel, and you can do that with message.channel.send()

Message.reply()

message.channel.send()

Your code should look like this:

if (command == "quote") {
if (args[1] != null) message.channel.send(quote[Math.floor(Math.random() * quote.length).toString(16)]); // if args[1], post random answer
else message.channel.send("!quote <your text here>");
}


If you don't want to check for any additional text, you can just get rid of the if/else check, and only leave the message.channel.send():

message.channel.send()

if (command == "quote") message.channel.send(quote[Math.floor(Math.random() * quote.length).toString(16)]);
