How to make a filter?

const filter = (interaction) => {
    interaction.user.id === interaction.author.id;
    return
}

const collector = reply.createMessageComponentCollector({
    ComponentType: ComponentType.Button,
    filter,
    time: 100_000,
});

const filter = (interaction) => {
    interaction.user.id === interaction.author.id;
    return
}

const collector = reply.createMessageComponentCollector({
    ComponentType: ComponentType.Button,
    filter,
    time: 100_000,
});

Error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id') How do I get the author Id? I tried researching...

you seem to already be aware that <Interaction>.user exists consider using the property that exists rather than one that doesn't though you should probably also rename your filter's param so that you don't attempt to compare the same interaction's user with itself

@duck I tried message.author.id but it failed even though I defined it...

Spam•14mo ago

interaction.author ain't a thing

Nightro-FxOP•14mo ago

I also tried message.author.id but it didn't work.... Maybe save the id of the author in a variable before setting a filter

Spam•14mo ago

dont use {} then ig

const filter = (interaction) => interaction.user.id === /* message author id. you handle this */;

const filter = (interaction) => interaction.user.id === /* message author id. you handle this */;

it's because you're checking for a boolean but not returning anything

@Andrew okay I will try that did they completely remove message.autor.id in v14?

Spam•14mo ago

no they didn't, and there's no good reason to do so. I'm just telling you to handle it yourself because interaction.author isn't a thing

Nightro-FxOP•14mo ago

@Andrew Yes Ik just make an empty attempt because the message.author.id didn't work (this is in a command handler) Anyways, I'll try an handle it but thank you

duck•14mo ago

to fully elaborate, just naming the variable message won't suddenly make its value a Message object given your error and initial code, I'm assuming this is slash command handler (or in general an application command handler) rather than a text command handler, in which case this uses the interactionCreate event and therefore the object you're working with is an Interaction object as previously mentioned <Interaction>.user exists, which is a property you already seem aware of being the user who invoked the interaction

Oh I am using a splash command Oh Guys, I wasn't able to figure out the filter but I was able to find an alternative

const author = interaction.user.id // Define this when the author runs the command
const collector = reply.createMessageComponentCollector({
    ComponentType: ComponentType.Button,
    time: 100_000,
});

collector.on('collect', (interaction) => {
    if (interaction.customId === 'cancel' && interaction.user.id === author) {
        console.log('cancel succesful')
        interaction.reply('canceled')
        return
    } else {
        console.log('Error, Someone else tried to execute it.')
    }
})
collector.on('end', () => {
    confirm.setDisabled(true)
    cancel.setDisabled(true)
    reply.edit({
        content: `Your request has expired, Please request another contract!`,
        components: [buttonRow],
    })
})

const author = interaction.user.id // Define this when the author runs the command
const collector = reply.createMessageComponentCollector({
    ComponentType: ComponentType.Button,
    time: 100_000,
});

collector.on('collect', (interaction) => {
    if (interaction.customId === 'cancel' && interaction.user.id === author) {
        console.log('cancel succesful')
        interaction.reply('canceled')
        return
    } else {
        console.log('Error, Someone else tried to execute it.')
    }
})
collector.on('end', () => {
    confirm.setDisabled(true)
    cancel.setDisabled(true)
    reply.edit({
        content: `Your request has expired, Please request another contract!`,
        components: [buttonRow],
    })
})

I just defined the author by interaction.user.id right when the author requests the buttons and compare it when the button is clicked
