I am attempting to detect when emojis are added to messages and do different things based on the emoji however currently it isn't doing anything. I found a thing mentioning doing it this way so I tried it, I also looked into event handling and tried putting it into its own file, below, and that didn't work either. Neither of them give errors they simply don't print anything.
inside of index.js:js client.on(Events.MessageReactionAdd, (reaction) => { console.log("event entered"); if (reaction.emoji.identifier == 'gold') { console.log("Reaction emoji gold!"); } else { console.log(reaction.emoji.identifier); } })events/messageReactionAdd.js:```js
const { Events, MessageFlags } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
name: Events.MessageReactionAdd,
async execute(reaction) {
console.log("event entered");
if (reaction.emoji.identifier == 'gold') {
console.log("Reaction emoji gold!");
} else {
console.log(reaction.emoji.identifier);
}
}
};

That’s not a valid format for Emoji.identifier

#

You should just check the emoji.id to the custom emoji id that ur checking for

If that were the problem it would still be either printing something (even if just undefined) or giving an error, but it isn't doing either.

#

I will still make that change, but right now it isn't even entering execute or client.on(Events.MessageReactionAdd

Is the reaction occurring in a guild?

marble silo
#

Yeah, and the bot can see messages in the guild

glass cliff
#

Did you enable the guild message reactions intent?

marble silo
#

I believe so, how can I double check?

#

Nevermind, I found it, I had thought GuildMessages and MessageContent together would include it.

#

unfortunately however adding the intent doesn't fix the issue

#

Was the message sent before the bot became ready?

marble silo
#

Ah, yeah. That was the issue. Does there happen to be any way around that issue?

Enable the message partial
