waiting for interaction collector to finish before executing another function

code:

await interaction.reply({ ephemeral: false, embeds: [embed], components: [row] }).catch(e => console.log(e));

        let filter = i => [`next`, `exit`].includes(i.customId);
        let collector = await interaction.channel.createMessageComponentCollector({ filter, max: 1, time: 20000 });
        let endCon = 0;

        collector.on('collect', async i => {
            await i.deferUpdate();

            if (i.customId === `next`) {
                endCon = 1;
                collector.emit('end', collected => { });
            }
            else if (i.customId === `exit`) {
                collector.emit('end', collected => { });

            else {
                collector.emit('end', collected => { });

                await interaction.editReply({ content: `Command exited/timed out. Please use this command again.`, components: [], embeds: [] }).catch(e => console.log(e));
            } else {

            };
        });

        for (let i = 0; i < challengeData.story.length; i++) {
            // to be implemented
        }

        await interaction.followUp(`This command is currently a work in progress.`);

discord.js v14.11.0 node.js v16.17.0 Goal: Have the interaction.followUp() statement run after MessageComponentCollector is finished collecting. What's happening currently: interaction.reply() and interaction.followUp() run right after the other, without waiting for the collector to finish

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? • Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! • Show your code! • Explain what exactly your issue is. • Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.

there's no way around it? the for loop after the end event is meant to execute multiple more message comp collectors, each time relying on data from the previous to execute. i want to see if i can do this without recursion

d.js docs•3y ago

Message#awaitMessageComponent() Collects a single component interaction that passes the filter. The Promise will reject if the time expires.

i took a look at the documentation. seems to only return the first interaction. is there any way to return all the interactions or do i need to promisify messagecomponentcollector myself? gotcha
