• 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.

You can still get a username and avatar, just not what they set as displayName

d.js docs•12mo ago

User#username The username of the method

User#displayAvatarURL() A link to the user's avatar if they have one. Otherwise a link to their default avatar will be returned.

thats what i meant ah ok so interactions.option.displayAvatarURL? const authorURL = interaction.options.displayAvatarURL();

const author = interaction.options.username;
const authorURL = interaction.options.displayAvatarURL();

const author = interaction.options.username;
const authorURL = interaction.options.displayAvatarURL();

would that be right?

Not even slightly interaction.user Theyre properties of a user Or if you want them from an option, interaction.options.getUser("option name") and call them on that

SuperPEKKA336•12mo ago

oh so

const author = interaction.options.getUser(username);
const authorURL= interaction.options.getUser(displayAvatarURL);

const author = interaction.options.getUser(username);
const authorURL= interaction.options.getUser(displayAvatarURL);

you have a slash command where you prompt people to select a user?
