client.on('message', message => {
  // Check if the message content is "!timeout"
  if (message.content === '!timeout') {
    // Send a message confirming that the timeout has been set
    message.channel.send('Timeout set for 5 seconds');

    // Set a timeout of 5 seconds to execute a function
    setTimeout(() => {
      // Send a message after the timeout has elapsed
      message.channel.send('Timeout done!');
    }, 5000); // 5000 milliseconds = 5 seconds
  }
