Cycling through different embeds with button
I have 3 button, when you press one, it sets the pressed on as primary and disables it and sets the other 2 as secondary and enables them.
- embed 'A' has a select menu (accounted for)
- it starts on embed 'A'
- ive increase the collector time to 5 min and its still the same
B -> C or C -> B = red msg
A -> either B/C = fine
B/C -> A = red msg
Even tho they display the red msg, i can still interact
issue:
once i press a button (B/C) it works as intentional, changing the style and disable values. however after the first press if i try and press it again, it fails showing the following message in red:
'This interaction failed'
Im not sure what the issue could be, if anyone could provide help thatll be nice

your menu interaction
i needs to be acknowledged, just like any other interaction
You should replace interaction.editReply() with i.update(), the latter of which edits the message that the interaction was received from and acknowledges the interaction
Note that like other ways of acknowledging interactions, you can only acknowledge an interaction once, so make sure not to call .update() multiple times on the same interactioni dont think your talking about the same issue
currently im not having issues with the select menu portion, its the pressing buttons giving me issues. sorry for the horrible wording.

heres a quick video i guess of it:

like everything works (somewhat?), it just shows the red message sometimes

Watch "This interaction failed" | Streamable
Watch ""This interaction failed"" on Streamable.
The red message "This interaction failed" means you did not acknowledge the interaction
Button interactions and select menu interactions can both be acknowledged via
.update()Wheter
i is a button or a menu interaction, your code never acknowledges it, but it should
OH i see
tysm, got it!
