is there a way using collectors/interactionCreate to detect if a user already pressed a specific button on a specific message? One way I tried doing it was to save it in an array like this
const alreadyPressed = []
const filter = m => m.customId === "No" && m.messageId === interaction.messageId && m.user.id === interaction.user.id;
collector = embedMsg.createMessageComponentCollector({filter: filter, time: 10000});//86400000
collector.on('collect', async i => {
client.logger("collector1 collected")
client.logger(alreadyPressed.indexOf(i.user.id, i.messageId))
if (alreadyPressed.indexOf(i.user.id, i.messageId)) {
return i.reply({ content: `You've already voted ${i.user.username}!`, ephemeral: true })
} else {
i.reply({ content: `Thank you for your vote ${i.user.username}!`, ephemeral: true });
alreadyPressed.push(i.user.id, i.messageId)
}
});
collector.on('end', collected => {
client.logger(collected.size)
// if (collected.size < 10) {
// }
delete alreadyPressed[0]
delete alreadyPressed[1]
});
but the bot always ends up responding with "You've already voted" so what would be a viable way of checking this?
You are using Array#indexOf() which returns -1 if it doesn't find it (JavaScript sees it as a truthy value). I would also recommend you putting the values into an object or its own array (when pushing)
const alreadyPressed = []
// ...
collector.on('collect', async i => {
// logs
if (alreadyPressed.includes({userID: i.user.id, messageID: i.messageId})) {
return i.reply({ content: `You've already voted ${i.user.username}!`, ephemeral: true })
} else {
i.reply({ content: `Thank you for your vote ${i.user.username}!`, ephemeral: true });
alreadyPressed.push({userID: i.user.id, messageID: i.messageId})
}
})
as MrMythical said, Array#indexOf() will just return -1 since it can't find it, I tried this out a little bit and found out that using and storing the values in an array is probably what your looking for. I put them together too since putting them seperate is not needed then I use .find() to search the array if it matches the users id and the id of the message that the button is on. This would be a viable way of doing it
const alreadyPressed = []
const filter = m => m.customId === "No"
collector = embedMsg.createMessageComponentCollector({filter: filter, time: 10000});//86400000
collector.on('collect', async i => {
if (!!alreadyPressed.find(id => {
return id.ID === i.user.id+i.message.id
})) {
i.reply({ content: `You've already voted ${i.user.username}!`, ephemeral: true })
} else {
i.reply({ content: `Thank you for your vote ${i.user.username}!`, ephemeral: true });
alreadyPressed.push({ID: i.user.id+i.message.id})
}
});
collector.on('end', collected => {
client.logger(collected.size)
// if (collected.size < 10) {
// }
delete alreadyPressed
});
