• 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.

use a collector or uhh one sec

d.js docs•13mo ago

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

ooooh okay cool! Thank you also, am I updating the components in the action row correctly? I'm not getting an error for it but it's not updating

To share long code snippets use a service like gist, sourcebin, starbin, or similar instead of posting them as large code blocks.

oh okay one sec I'll get a snippet

             await confirmation.update({
              content: "Question" + questions[i].questionNumber,

                quizEmbed
                  .setTitle(questions[i].questionText)
                  .setDescription(" ")
                  .setFields([
                    {

what is row defined as

Collywog•13mo ago

row is an action row that holds two buttons named answer1 and answer2

treble/luna•13mo ago

row.answer1, you'd have to acess them using row.components (or something like that, but not .answer1)

Collywog•13mo ago

okay, so would the components just be an array inside the action row? I.e. row.components[0] .setStyle() row.components[1] .setStyle ?

d.js docs•13mo ago

Structures from the API cannot be edited directly. To do so, you can create a new structure (a builder) using the .from() method

const newEmbed = EmbedBuilder.from(embed).setTitle("title")
const newRow = ActionRowBuilder.from(row).addComponents(component)

const newEmbed = EmbedBuilder.from(embed).setTitle("title")
const newRow = ActionRowBuilder.from(row).addComponents(component)

Collywog•13mo ago

oooh okay. so I would have to create a new action row all together. That works! Thank you so much for your help!

treble/luna•13mo ago

you can also use the old one but use something like components[0].data.label = "" (i dont know the exact properties for actionrowbuilders)

Thank you for the help luna!
