discord.js - Imagine a bot•16mo ago

how to make this concept work?

i'm trying to make a command where i can set the bot's status & then choose the playing/watching/listening etc type in a select menu, & here is this attempt:

const { ComponentType, ActivityType, ActionRowBuilder, StringSelectMenuBuilder, StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder, SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('status')
        .setDescription('Select a status for the bot')
        .addStringOption(option =>
            option.setName('status')
                .setDescription('The status to set')
                .setRequired(true)
                .setMaxLength(128)),
    async execute(interaction) {
        const status = interaction.options.getString('status');
        const select = new StringSelectMenuBuilder()
            .setCustomId('type')
            .setPlaceholder('Type of status')
            .addOptions(
                new StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder()
                    .setLabel('Playing')
                    .setDescription('Playing /status')
                    .setValue('Playing'),
                new StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder()
                    .setLabel('Watching')
                    .setDescription('Watching /status')
                    .setValue('Watching'),
                new StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder()
                    .setLabel('Listening')
                    .setDescription('Listening to /status')
                    .setValue('Listening'),
            );

        const row = new ActionRowBuilder()
            .addComponents(select);

        const response = await interaction.reply({
            content: 'Choose the type of status you want to set',
            components: [row],
        });
        const collector = response.createMessageComponentCollector({ componentType: ComponentType.StringSelect, time: 3_600_000 });
        collector.on('collect', async i => {
            const selection = i.values[0].toLowerCase();
            await interaction.client.user.setActivity(interaction.options.getString('status'), { type: ActivityType.select });
            await i.reply(`${i.user} has set my status as ${selection} ${status}!`);
        });
    },
};

const { ComponentType, ActivityType, ActionRowBuilder, StringSelectMenuBuilder, StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder, SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('status')
        .setDescription('Select a status for the bot')
        .addStringOption(option =>
            option.setName('status')
                .setDescription('The status to set')
                .setRequired(true)
                .setMaxLength(128)),
    async execute(interaction) {
        const status = interaction.options.getString('status');
        const select = new StringSelectMenuBuilder()
            .setCustomId('type')
            .setPlaceholder('Type of status')
            .addOptions(
                new StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder()
                    .setLabel('Playing')
                    .setDescription('Playing /status')
                    .setValue('Playing'),
                new StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder()
                    .setLabel('Watching')
                    .setDescription('Watching /status')
                    .setValue('Watching'),
                new StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder()
                    .setLabel('Listening')
                    .setDescription('Listening to /status')
                    .setValue('Listening'),
            );

        const row = new ActionRowBuilder()
            .addComponents(select);

        const response = await interaction.reply({
            content: 'Choose the type of status you want to set',
            components: [row],
        });
        const collector = response.createMessageComponentCollector({ componentType: ComponentType.StringSelect, time: 3_600_000 });
        collector.on('collect', async i => {
            const selection = i.values[0].toLowerCase();
            await interaction.client.user.setActivity(interaction.options.getString('status'), { type: ActivityType.select });
            await i.reply(`${i.user} has set my status as ${selection} ${status}!`);
        });
    },
};

however every selection i make simply returns ActivityType.Playing despite me trying to make the Playing give whichever value, i'm pretty sure i missed something but i can't really figure out what. no worries if no help is able to be given, but i feel like there's probably an easy fix or i overlooked something?

it works to retrieve the playing thing & set the status, unless i changed that last minute but not watching/listening im not sure if i can do it like that in such condensed code

i used the template from the guide website and didn't think to change it yet, could it be an issue?
