I want to set up a button with a maximum number of collections, let's say 10. However I want the 10 collections to be from different users, is this possible? I can hack it a bit by adding the user ID to the text of the message and then simply read if the user is already there. This sounds terrible though, and I was wondering if there is a better way that does not involve me keeping this data in a db or anything.

Oh, it's not an issue as in an actual problem, it was a question for discussion. Somebody (not a bot) please let me know if there is a better channel for this and if that's the case I can delete this, thanks!

Make an empty collection (or just an array of ids) of users that clicked the button. In your collector filter Check if the user is included in that collection/array. If not add them to it and return true, else return false. Set the collector to max:10 using that filter

That makes sense. The only issue would be if there are multiple occurrences of that command, but I can have a collection of collections I guess, one per message ID of the interaction
Probably overthinking it anyways, as it’s for a single server haha
Thank you!!!

No, each run of the command would make its own collection/array anyway. It’s all about the right scope
