you can have a collector filter or if statement in the collector that checks if the i.user.id is equal to the message.author.id

unreal summit

this is my first time working with buttons so i really dont know how to doo that

trail harbor

here's an example of a filter you can use

const collectorFilter = async i => {
if (i.user.id !== message.author.id) {
  await i.reply({ content: 'This is not for you.', ephemeral: true })
  }
} // then in your collector options, use { filter: collectorFilter }
unreal summit

so my collector would look like this

const Collector = Reply.createMessageComponentCollector({
    filter: collectorFilter
  });```

nd then this would be above that? js const collectorFilter = i => { if (i.user.id !== message.author.id) { await i.reply({ content: 'This is not for you.', ephemeral: true }) } }

trail harbor

sure

unreal summit

whoops i forgot to make it async lol thats on me

sorry about that

unreal summit

so it kinda works, i cant roll it but another person rolls it and it says this is not for you

trail harbor

that's what you wanted right?

unreal summit

yeah but when the correct person clicks on the button i want it to work lol

that was my 8ball game and i clicked on it

didnt work

but when it click on someone elses game it says its not my game (which works and is correct)

trail harbor

are there any errors?

i noticed you dont have a time set for the collector. are you not looking for it to be temporary?

unreal summit

collectors are meant to be temporary. if you want that button to be functional all the time then you should respond directly in the interactionCreate event

Third and finally, you may wish to have a listener setup to respond to permanent button or select menu features of your guild. For this, returning to the Client#event:interactionCreateopen in new window event is the best approach.

oh okay ill add a time limit of 10,000ms

unreal summit
trail harbor

right above that if statement, do console.log(i)

in the future, it would be better to ask in the discord.js support channels for discord.js-related questions

unreal summit
trail harbor

did you log i?

unreal summit

it logged nothing

trail harbor

where did you put the console.log

unreal summit 
Collector.on("collect", async (i) => {
    console.log(i);
    if (i.customId === "8ball") {
      return await i.update({ embeds: [AnswerEmbed], components: [] });
    }
  });```
trail harbor

you get no console output?

unreal summit

nope

trail harbor

are you clicking the button

unreal summit

well yeah lmfao

trail harbor

okay well it would appear that the collector isn't running at all

log Collector

odd daggerBOT

If you aren't getting any errors, try to place console.log checkpoints throughout your code to find out where execution stops.

  • Once you do, log relevant values and if-conditions
  • More sophisticated debugging methods are breakpoints and runtime inspections: learn more
unreal summit

i logged it

nothing

thats why its failing

trail harbor

is the message even being sent?

unreal summit

no

trail harbor

okay... is your bot even online

unreal summit

it looks like this when it fails

unreal summit

how would it send the message if it wasnt online

trail harbor

you said the message wasnt sent though so thats why i asked, but it would appear that it is sending

unreal summit

ohh i thought u ment the answer embed

trail harbor

no, but thats okay.

please log Reply

unreal summit

okay i got collector to log

unreal summit
trail harbor

i dont need you to do that anymore

i dont really believe that you need this return here so only have await i.update(...) and see what happens

unreal summit
unreal summit

trail harbor

you removed that return ?

unreal summit

yes and heres my script

if (!args[0]) return message.reply({ embeds: [Fail] });
  const Reply = await message.channel.send({ embeds: [QuestionEmbed], components: [Button] });
  const CollectorFilter = async i => {
    if (i.user.id !== message.author.id) {
      await i.reply({ embeds: [NotYourButton], ephemeral: true });
    }
  }
  const Collector = Reply.createMessageComponentCollector({
    componentType: ComponentType.Button,
    filter: CollectorFilter,
    time: 10000
  });
  Collector.on("collect", async (i) => {
    if (i.customId === "8ball") {
      await i.update({ embeds: [AnswerEmbed], components: [] });
    }
  });
};```
trail harbor

alright and clicking the button still isnt updating the message?

unreal summit

nope

it says this intercation failed

trail harbor

are there any errors with that?

i have a feeling it's taking more than 3 seconds to respond

unreal summit

no errors! im so confuseddd

trail harbor

try this

- await i.update({ embeds: [AnswerEmbed], components: [] });
+ await i.deferUpdate();
+ await i.editReply({ embeds: [AnswerEmbed], components: [] });
unreal summit

i just changed that

heres my stuff

it didnt log anything so why would ur new script work

trail harbor

okay the filter might be causing some conflicts here, but it really shouldn't

i want you to use this instead and try it

const reply = await message.channel.send({ embeds: [QuestionEmbed], components: [Button] });
const collector = reply.createMessageComponentCollector({
    componentType: ComponentType.Button,
    time: 10000
  });
  collector.on("collect", async (i) => {
 if (i.user.id === message.author.id) {
    if (i.customId === "8ball") {
      await i.update({ embeds: [AnswerEmbed], components: [] });
      }
  } else {
    await i.reply({ embeds: [NotYourButton], ephemeral: true });
  }
});

this removes the filter and checks inside the collect event instead

it's better practice to use lowercase names for variables since uppercase names can sometimes conflict with other Structures from packages

@trail harbor

error

trail harbor

i added an extra bracket on accident. you should be able to fix syntax errors very easily though

unreal summit

unreal summit
