What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? 14.14.1 already mentioned

I'm not fully sure what you mean by this if your bot is what's handling the game, your bot can just send these messages

I want my bot client to be able to handle those responses.

if you're referring to handling the components, components are handled via interactions (guide below) if you're simply looking to receive and respond to messages being sent by something else (in case your bot isn't what's handling the game), all messages can be handled via the messageCreate event

i know how to use components. so let me make it simple: is there a way to interact with the bot thru my game? - some action happens in game - i call some webhook or idk and it triggers some function in bot

this thing, i can make it by typing a command but i also want to be able to make it from my game now ican prolly do so via webhooks, but not sure how would i go about handling those interactions from the bot (eg: interaction when i click respond) i hope i explained it better, english is not my native lang

duck•10mo ago

these are some incredibly vague questions, but just focusing on this image, webhooks created by a bot can send message components the interactions are sent as normal to the bot that created the webhook for a broader functionality of "trigger some function in bot" that doesn't involve sending a message, you'd need to set up your own webhook api for your bot

SomebodyOP•10mo ago

uhm like express or something?

duck•10mo ago

sure

SomebodyOP•10mo ago

i think that isn't idea for my bot since i cant expose ports sadlyy i basically wanted to be able to login as bot thru my game, if possible somehow and then send this embed that would solve my issue

duck•10mo ago

I have no idea how your game works, so I can't say anything regarding logging in but your bot is able to just send messages whenever it likes (within reason for rate limits)

SomebodyOP•10mo ago

i'd assume i'd have to use some raw discord api? (not discord.js) 🤔

duck•10mo ago

no, your bot can send messages through discord.js

d.js docs•10mo ago

:method: TextChannel#send() Sends a message to this channel.

SomebodyOP•10mo ago

i know but it can only send it via: - the client my bot is running on - a user interaction nothin else uhm im not a total newbie, i can do the basics

duck•10mo ago

that's great, but every question you ask is incredibly vague, and I have no concept of what you know and what you don't know since you haven't given me very much information to work with

i'll try to explain: - I can create embeds using a discord webhook (basically discord api) - I can send embeds directly thru bot 1. my bot can responds to interactions from embeds sent thru itself 2. my bot can (possibly) NOT respond to interactions to the embed from webhook is my point 2 possible?

duck•10mo ago

as mentioned previously, webhooks created by bots can send message components the interactions for these components are sent to the bot that created them as normal which is to say, yes 2 is possible

SomebodyOP•10mo ago

ohhh, i'll try that thanks

well its samp, written in pawn basically a server its unnecessary. However it was solved by creating the component using the webhook from my app (which the bot created btw) later i got the bot to respond to it (as it would normally) Here's how i created the component:

$jsonBody = '{
  "components": [
    {
      "type": 1,
      "components": [
        {
          "style": 1,
          "label": "test",
          "custom_id": "row_0_button_0",
          "disabled": false,
          "type": 2
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}'

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $webhookUrl -Method Post -Body $jsonBody -ContentType "application/json"

$jsonBody = '{
  "components": [
    {
      "type": 1,
      "components": [
        {
          "style": 1,
          "label": "test",
          "custom_id": "row_0_button_0",
          "disabled": false,
          "type": 2
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}'

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $webhookUrl -Method Post -Body $jsonBody -ContentType "application/json"

Here's how i handled the event in bot:

client.on(Events.InteractionCreate, async interaction => {
    if (!interaction.isButton()) return; // Ignore interactions that are not buttons
    console.log("button interaction recieved.")
    // Check if the button is the one you're interested in
    if (interaction.customId === 'row_0_button_0') {
        console.log("responding to button interaction.")
        // Reply to the interaction
        await interaction.reply('You clicked the button!');
    }
});

client.on(Events.InteractionCreate, async interaction => {
    if (!interaction.isButton()) return; // Ignore interactions that are not buttons
    console.log("button interaction recieved.")
    // Check if the button is the one you're interested in
    if (interaction.customId === 'row_0_button_0') {
        console.log("responding to button interaction.")
        // Reply to the interaction
        await interaction.reply('You clicked the button!');
    }
});

thank you^
