I can't get it to work. Can you provide example

[cosmic hamlet]

sure ```py

create a new action row

action_row = bot.rest.build_message_action_row()

add a button

action_row.add_button(hikari.ButtonStyle.PRIMARY, "my_button").set_label("Click on me!").add_to_container()

adding a new button to the container, the add_to_container is important

sending the component

await your_send_method("Here's a cool button!", component=action_row)

you can build upto 5 action rows for a message and send them using components arg in your respond method

[gritty viper]

Thanks, so i needed to .add_to_container()

Now it works

[cosmic hamlet]

great!

[gritty viper]

How do I make sure the person who ran the command is clicking on the button?
Otherwise don't do anything

[cosmic hamlet]

are you using wait_for inside the command or a seperate listener

[gritty viper]

Separate listener. But if it cant be in that way I will use wait_for

Can you tell me how

[cosmic hamlet]

there are other ways but me personally would just set the button's custom_id as the command author's ID
and check if interaction author's ID on clicking the button is same as the custom_id

[gritty viper]

Multiple button can have same custom_id?

[cosmic hamlet]

yes

[cosmic hamlet]

no wait multiple components in same action row can't .

[gritty viper]

I can have multiple buttons so in that case?

[cosmic hamlet]

yeah that won't work for you then

you can probably create a cache mapping that stores message id key with command author values
