Hi! So I'm working on a ticket system for my bot and I added tickets to claim and close the ticket. The only problem I'm having right now is that when I have multiple tickets, and I press a button, the button makes all the tickets do the same action. I want only that ticket to do the action. Afterwards, the code creates an error!
Code: https://pastebin.com/vDXs4yN9
Discord.js version: v14.2.0

When the button is pressed, how you are handling it to close/claim? (Edit: ops, I didnt see your pastebin. Sorry)
And, are you storing the tickets somewhere besides the message itself, like a database?
The button press will fire the same event for every button. So, you need to decide how to identify the specific ticket to claim/close, like using the message id or database id of it

Don‘t nest event listeners. Make one interactionCreate listener and have it dispatch the event (which you probably already do for slashcommands).
But the way you do it atm you‘ll make a new listener every time someone creates a ticket, resulting in way too many listeners running simultaneously.

Yeah. Just refactor your handler to don't spam it and handle both slash commands and buttons
Like "if is button, do claim/close logic. If is command, do command thing"

Ok, and how would the event listener for the button know which message to edit?
Or would it just know automatically?
rose basalt
<ButtonInteraction>.message is the message the button is on. Or <ButtonInteraction>.update will automatically edit that message
steady cloud
And the event listener would be outside of the slash commands listener correct?
Due to nesting
rose basalt
Or it would be literally the same listener. Since both are interactionCreate
