#

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 Jul 15, 2023, 12:41 AM

#

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

trail harbor Jul 15, 2023, 12:44 AM

#

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 Jul 15, 2023, 12:47 AM

#

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 }) } }

#

unreal summit Jul 15, 2023, 12:49 AM

#

trail harbor sure

?

trail harbor Jul 15, 2023, 12:50 AM

#

whoops i forgot to make it async lol thats on me

#

sorry about that

unreal summit Jul 15, 2023, 12:54 AM

#

trail harbor sorry about that

ur good

#

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

trail harbor Jul 15, 2023, 12:55 AM

#

that's what you wanted right?

unreal summit Jul 15, 2023, 12:56 AM

#

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 Jul 15, 2023, 12:58 AM

#

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 Jul 15, 2023, 1:00 AM

#

trail harbor are there any errors?

no errors

unreal summit Jul 15, 2023, 1:00 AM

#

trail harbor i noticed you dont have a time set for the collector. are you not looking for it...

mm idk? ive never heard that i needed a time

trail harbor Jul 15, 2023, 1:01 AM

#

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

odd daggerBOT Jul 15, 2023, 1:02 AM

#

guide Message Components: The Client#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 Jul 15, 2023, 1:02 AM

#

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

but how can i fix this?

trail harbor Jul 15, 2023, 1:03 AM

#

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

trail harbor Jul 15, 2023, 1:06 AM

#

did you log i?

unreal summit Jul 15, 2023, 1:06 AM

#

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

lemme try

#

it logged nothing

trail harbor Jul 15, 2023, 1:08 AM

#

where did you put the console.log

unreal summit Jul 15, 2023, 1:08 AM

#

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

trail harbor Jul 15, 2023, 1:09 AM

#

you get no console output?

unreal summit Jul 15, 2023, 1:10 AM

#

nope

trail harbor Jul 15, 2023, 1:12 AM

#

are you clicking the button

unreal summit Jul 15, 2023, 1:12 AM

#

well yeah lmfao

trail harbor Jul 15, 2023, 1:12 AM

#

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

#

log Collector

odd daggerBOT Jul 15, 2023, 1:13 AM

#

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 Jul 15, 2023, 1:17 AM

#

i logged it

#

nothing

#

thats why its failing

trail harbor Jul 15, 2023, 1:18 AM

#

unreal summit Jul 15, 2023, 1:19 AM

#

trail harbor Jul 15, 2023, 1:19 AM

#

unreal summit Jul 15, 2023, 1:19 AM

unreal summit Jul 15, 2023, 1:19 AM

#

#

trail harbor Jul 15, 2023, 1:20 AM

#

unreal summit Jul 15, 2023, 1:20 AM

trail harbor Jul 15, 2023, 1:24 AM

#

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 Jul 15, 2023, 1:26 AM

#

trail harbor i dont really believe that you need this `return` here so only have `await i.upd...

i have that there

you removed that return ?

unreal summit Jul 15, 2023, 1:28 AM

#

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 Jul 15, 2023, 1:29 AM

#

alright and clicking the button still isnt updating the message?

unreal summit Jul 15, 2023, 1:30 AM

#

nope

#

it says this intercation failed

trail harbor Jul 15, 2023, 1:31 AM

#

are there any errors with that?

#

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

unreal summit Jul 15, 2023, 1:32 AM

#

no errors! im so confuseddd

trail harbor Jul 15, 2023, 1:32 AM

#

try this

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

unreal summit Jul 15, 2023, 1:35 AM

#

i just changed that

#

heres my stuff

#

it didnt log anything so why would ur new script work

trail harbor Jul 15, 2023, 1:36 AM

#

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
