Because you don't response if user didn't type anything

[fierce acorn]

Response to autocomplete interaction

If you need help with your code then show it

[fierce acorn]

        .setName('create')
        .setDescription('Cria uma ficha de Breed')
        .addStringOption(option => 
            option.setName('dinoname')
            .setDescription('Dino que sera breedado')
            .setRequired(true)
            .setAutocomplete(true)),
            
            async autocomplete(interaction){
                const focusedValue = interaction.options.getFocused();
                const choices = ['Giga', 'Stego', 'Charca', 'Carbo', 'Tape', 'Velona', 'Snow', 'Barionyx', 'Tuso', 'Desmodus', 'Shadow', 'Astro', 'Theri', 'Stalker', 'Racer', 'Rex', 'Basilo', 'FjordHawk', 'Andrewsarchus', 'Amargasaurus', 'Noglin', 'Basilisk', 
                'Griffin', 'Daeodon', 'Thyla', 'Mantis', 'Voidwyrm', 'Deino', 'Yutirannus', 'LightWyvern']
                const filtered = choices.filter(choice => choice.startsWith(focusedValue));
                await interaction.respond(
                    filtered.map(choice => ({ name: choice, value: choice })),
                );
            },```

        const {commands} = client;
        const {commandName} = interaction;
        const command = commands.get(commandName);
        if (!command) return;

        try {
        await command.autocomplete(interaction, client)
        } catch (error){
            console.error(error);
        }```

last one is interactioncreate.js

You should splice first 25 elements

Sorry, splice

[fierce acorn]

all good

after i splice it , how do i proceed?

[main void]

The same way you already do

[fierce acorn]

kk , so i gotta do choices.splice(0, 24) ?

[main void]

slice not splice, but yeah (wait, why did Syjalo suggest splice? )

[fierce acorn]

ok , thx

didnt work

[main void]

slice the result of the filter…

[cunning skiff]

To do array.filter().splice(25)?

[fierce acorn]

oh , sorry

[main void]

I’m not a fan of splice for that use-case but effectively has the same outcome as slice(0,25) here, but wouldn’t if you‘d splice the original array itself before filtering

[fierce acorn]

tested the splice but only the options after 25th showed up, then tested slice and only the choices before 25 showed up

[main void]

Because you didn’t use what Syjalo said, splice(25) or slice(0,25) not a mix of both

[fierce acorn]

used only 1 of them

[main void]

And you need to .filter(…).splice(…) not the other way around

[fierce acorn]

but i did it

look at the screenshot

[main void]

And that should give you up to 25 options that pass the filter, doesn’t it?

[fierce acorn]

i mean , im trynna gett an option that is after the position of 25 in the array but i cant

not an option , a choice

[main void]

Because you filter case sensitive…

There is only Ligh* in your choices

Use toLowerCase() in the filter to ignore case

[fierce acorn]

like this ? const filtered = choices.filter(choice => choice.startsWith(focusedValue).toLowerCase()).slice(0, 25);

[main void]

No… <boolean>.toLowerCase() doesn’t exist… call it on the two strings you have there

[fierce acorn]

any example of it ? i didnt get it

focusedValue.toLowerCase() ?

idk if the error is cause of the case sensitive

even with L didnt work

[main void]

You also need to lowercase the choice you compare it to.
