You need to create a message component collector or simply use interactionCreate event Make a new action row using static ActionRowBuilder#from and change button disabled property (Or make a normal action row with using button (ButtonBuilder#from) and use ButtonBuilder#setDisabled method) Then edit the original message with the other embed (you can also use static EmbedBuilder#from method) <Buttoninteraction>.update(...)

he would need to use <Interaction>.message.edit instead of update cus he wants to send a reply after editing

duck•11mo ago

they could also just use <ButtonInteraction>.followUp() after using <ButtonInteraction>.update() this would be the means of achieving this through the interaction webhook

Harnes•11mo ago

Does followUp support ephemeral?

duck•11mo ago

yes

oh, good to know

interactions can only be responded to once, so you can't use both <ButtonInteraction>.update() and <ButtonInteraction>.reply(), as these are both initial interaction responses I imagine lavaboy was suggesting using <ButtonInteraction>.reply() to send the subsequent ephemeral message and <ButtonInteraction>.message.edit() to update the button's message personally I would still suggest using <ButtonInteraction>.update() to update the button's message and <ButtonInteraction>.followUp() to send the subsequent ephemeral message since both of these methods go through the interaction rather than needing to edit the message as a bot user utilizing the interaction webhook bypasses the need to think about any sort of restrictions such as permissions, whereas <ButtonInteraction>.message.edit() at least requires your bot to be able to view the channel and its messages

astroOP•11mo ago

Where would I use this though. And how would I make it so it checks for which button was clicked (because one button needs to edit the embed to one thing, while the other button needs to edit it to something else Also what's <ButtonInteraction>

right so the problem im having now is when i'm trying to use update() it's telling me "Unresolved function or method update()" here's the piece of code where it's in

 const response = await interaction.reply({
            embeds: [test],
            components: [row],
        });
            try {
                if (interaction.customID === 'approve') {
                    await test.update({ embeds: [test2] })
                }
            } catch (error){
                console.log(error);
            }

 const response = await interaction.reply({
            embeds: [test],
            components: [row],
        });
            try {
                if (interaction.customID === 'approve') {
                    await test.update({ embeds: [test2] })
                }
            } catch (error){
                console.log(error);
            }

Harnes•11mo ago

That does not how buttons and interaction work Please read guide There's everything you need to know about component interactions and buttons

astroOP•11mo ago

Right, but I have multiple permanent buttons the The Client#interactionCreate event part of the guide only explains how to do it for one any button, which is not what I'm looking for I'm looking for how to make a specific button on an embed do what I tell it to

Harnes•11mo ago

Every button have custom id You need to check in every button interaction it's custom id (ButtonInteraction#customId) If custom id matches Then execute code for that button

astroOP•11mo ago

Yeah but my ID is in another file this is interactionCreate.js

const { Events } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
    name: Events.InteractionCreate,
    async execute(interaction) {
        if (interaction.isChatInputCommand()) {

            const command = interaction.client.commands.get(interaction.commandName);

            if (!command) {
                console.error(`No command matching ${interaction.commandName} was found.`);
                return;
            }

            try {
                await command.execute(interaction);
            } catch (error) {
                console.error(error);
                if (interaction.replied || interaction.deferred) {

                });
            }
        }} else if (interaction.isButton()) {

        } else if (interaction.isStringSelectMenu()) {
            // respond to the select menu
        }
    }
}

const { Events } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
    name: Events.InteractionCreate,
    async execute(interaction) {
        if (interaction.isChatInputCommand()) {

            const command = interaction.client.commands.get(interaction.commandName);

You will receive custom id in interaction object

astroOP•11mo ago

what do you mean

d.js docs•11mo ago

ButtonInteraction#customId The custom id of the component which was interacted with

Harnes•11mo ago

You have this property on interaction Use that

astroOP•11mo ago

oh wait so can i make an if statement in the else if loop saying if the id is one of the button's, it executes code? so like alright so i've gotten to the point where when i click a button, the content updates what i need now is when the button is clicked, the embed updates, but all the embeds and data that's in the embed is stored in seperate file from the button handler is it possible that i can onlyupdate a piece of the embed wihout rebuilding the entire embed from the ground up and if so how

Harnes•11mo ago

As I said higher you can use static EmbedBuilder#from method

d.js docs•11mo ago

(static) EmbedBuilder.from() Creates a new embed builder from JSON data

astroOP•11mo ago

yeah but how do i utilize JSON here? my embed builders look like this, i'm not sure how this static thingy works

duck•11mo ago

EmbedBuilder.from() would be used to create an EmbedBuilder from existing data when you don't already have an EmbedBuilder in the given context, so you probably wouldn't use it here where you presumably send the embed and the buttons in the first place the aforementioned <ButtonInteraction>.message is the message the button is on, so you're free to grab your Embed from <ButtonInteraction>.message.embeds wherever you're handling button interactions
