I'm trying to grab the Emoji name and then pull the name from the config file how the best way to do this

"flags":{
        "US": {
            "language": "English",
            "languagecode": "en"            
        },

For unicode emojis (twemoji): learn more
Custom emojis: /<?(a)?:?(\w{2,32}):(\d{17,19})>?/ learn more

need it so it pulls from the config like if i was puting in the code as config.flags."emote name"

severe spoke Dec 4, 2023, 4:28 PM

then do config.flags[emojiName] with emojiName being the variable you stored the parsed name in

stiff anvil Dec 4, 2023, 4:35 PM

const emojiName = messageReaction.emoji.name
        console.log("Emote Name:" + emojiName);    
        console.log(config.flags[emojiName]);

and i get out

i'd suggest seeing this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTzp76JXsoY

you can map the regional indicator characters to the normal characters, or just use the regional indicators/flag emoji in your json

well i got it to work only problem is on windows i see it as.
But on Linux i see the Flags no idea how to fix that.

severe spoke Dec 4, 2023, 5:14 PM

there's nothing to be fixed... your code works the same, doesn't it?

stiff anvil Dec 4, 2023, 5:19 PM

yea just make it harder to program because i dont know how to type the flags in on windows like i can on Linux i just copy and paste but will not let me or it just dus normal text and not the fancy text that is needed to read the emoji correctly

Custom emojis: \:name: ➞ <a:name:id>
Twemojis: \:name: ➞ unicode representation
Emoji picker: WIN + . / CMD + CTRL + SPACE / CTRL + .
Right-clicking any emoji will not copy its id!
