How to create a button with permission

Very similar to the behavior of this button "Mark post as solved" i want to create one the does basically the same. 1. If the person has permission to click it, executes the function 2. Else show a ephemeral error message to the user like "Only the original poster or support staff can mark a post as resolved!" I have this code with works to execute when the user has permission. When he does not have permission i receive the error "Interaction failed"

let botMsg = await channel.send({ embeds: [embed], components: [buttons] })

const filterComponent = (i) => Utils.isStaff(i.member);
let result = await channel.awaitMessageComponent({ filter: filterComponent, time: 300000, max: 1 });

let botMsg = await channel.send({ embeds: [embed], components: [buttons] })

const filterComponent = (i) => Utils.isStaff(i.member);
let result = await channel.awaitMessageComponent({ filter: filterComponent, time: 300000, max: 1 });

Hello, that is not the problem i successfully checked the user permission. The issue is when he does not have permission, the code does not defer any update to the button leading me to the "Interaction failed" error

you cant do that with promisified collectors

Lixeiro CharmosoOP•12mo ago

So how should i do that?

treble/luna•12mo ago

you'd have to create a refular one and listen for the ignore event

d.js docs•12mo ago

Message#createMessageComponentCollector() Creates a message component interaction collector.
