Using collector.on('end') to edit reply? | discord.js - imagine an app | Page 1

#

I'm trying to create a polling bot that edits their reply once the poll has concluded, but i can't figure out how to do that, and was wondering if anyone had any advice? I'm not sure if I should figure out a way to do it through collector.on('collect') or if there is a way to do it with collector.on('end'). If the right way to do it is through collector.on('collect'), i'm not sure if i can combine a switch statement with an await 60 _ 000 to update the message when the timer has ticked down

for reference this is my code

You can just set the timeout to 60000 and use

collector.on('end', (i, reason) => {
    if (reason === 'time') {
        // Edit your reply here
    }
});

#

yuh but i tried doing i.update(0) and i.editReply() but both give me an error

#

i shouldve mentioned that

#

my bad

austere lark Mar 27, 2024, 8:25 PM

#

"an error" is pretty vague. What error did you get?

short hazel Mar 27, 2024, 8:27 PM

#

neither i.update() nor i.editReply() are actual functions, and im pretty sure its cause i is an object map

austere lark Mar 27, 2024, 8:28 PM

#

You should edit the original interaction of the command instead, I don't believe the 'end' event callback has an interaction since the collector has ended

short hazel Mar 27, 2024, 8:29 PM

#

fair point, i have this line which sends the original embed:
const response = await modalSubmission.reply({ embeds: [createPollEmbed(votes)], components: [row], fetchReply: true });
and i tried updating it with response.editReply, but that is also apparently not a valid function (i got editReply from this: https://discordjs.guide/slash-commands/response-methods.html#ephemeral-responses)

discord.js Guide

Imagine a guide... that explores the many possibilities for your discord.js bot.

#

also if i try interaction.editreply

#

" throw new DiscordAPIError(data, "code" in data ? data.code : data.error, status, method, url, requestData);

#

just making sure you're aware that the native polls beta launched last week #discord-dev-news message
the end event does emit with a Collection of the collected items, so it does contain the previous interactions
you'd need to pick one (<Collection>.first() just being the first one if it doesn't matter)

short hazel Mar 27, 2024, 8:31 PM

#

i did not know about native polls 😅 i'll def take a look

#

the collected items are interactions to buttons

#

i really only wanna edit the message itself

#

#

I wanna take this message and update it with saying "the poll has ended, B has the most votes with 100% of the votes"

#

or something like that

fair kiln Mar 27, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

yes, but while i.editReply() doesn't exist because i is a Collection, <ButtonInteraction>.editReply() does exist

short hazel Mar 27, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

ahhh okay, that makes sense, so then it would be i.first().editReply()?

fair kiln Mar 27, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

assuming it does collect an interaction, yes

short hazel Mar 27, 2024, 8:33 PM

#

ahhh it works! however it doesnt remove the embed

#

just leaves me like this for some reason:

fair kiln Mar 27, 2024, 8:38 PM

#

are you passing an empty array for embeds?
care to share your updated code?

short hazel Mar 27, 2024, 8:39 PM

const response = await modalSubmission.reply({ embeds: [createPollEmbed(votes)], components: [row], fetchReply: true });

        const collector = response.createMessageComponentCollector({ componentType: ComponentType.Button, time: 5_000 });

its an array of only 1 element

fair kiln Mar 27, 2024, 8:40 PM

#

not sure what you mean by it's an array of only 1 element
to remove all embeds from a message when editing, you should pass an empty array for embeds
it does not edit properties you don't specify

short hazel Mar 27, 2024, 8:40 PM

#

ahh sorry i misunderstood

#

i thought you were asking if in the initial interaction i was passing an empty array for embeds and then populating

#

sorry
