Re-run bot command
I'm creating a bot that has multiple steps that a user navigates using buttons. I have a "back" button that I would like to trigger a restart, as if the user had abandoned the current bot session and entered the slash command to run the bot again. Is there a way to do this?
I've tried
interaction.client.commands.get('command').execute();
and it fires but it seems that there's no interaction object when it runs. I would like it to create a whole new slash command interaction. Does anyone know how I can achieve this?3 Replies
- What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

- Issue solved? Press the button!you cant. bots cannot trigger slash commands
you can pass in a buttoninteraction and then edit your code to work with buttons as well as slash commands
Yeah, that could work too. I've been trying different methods because I'm having difficulty getting the exact behavior I want and I'm not sure why, so I figured a fresh restart might be a good way to do it
The bot is kind of complicated and there are various steps the user can navigate through via the buttons, so it's been tough to achieve functionality where the message is being updated or edited numerous times to reflect the state of the bot, without it crashing lol
Thanks for your help
