Trying to detect emojis added to messages

I am attempting to detect when emojis are added to messages and do different things based on the emoji however currently it isn't doing anything. I found a thing mentioning doing it this way so I tried it, I also looked into event handling and tried putting it into its own file, below, and that didn't work either. Neither of them give errors they simply don't print anything. inside of index.js:

client.on(Events.MessageReactionAdd, (reaction) => {
  console.log("event entered");
  if (reaction.emoji.identifier == 'gold') {
    console.log("Reaction emoji gold!");
  }
  else {
    console.log(reaction.emoji.identifier);
  }
})

client.on(Events.MessageReactionAdd, (reaction) => {
  console.log("event entered");
  if (reaction.emoji.identifier == 'gold') {
    console.log("Reaction emoji gold!");
  }
  else {
    console.log(reaction.emoji.identifier);
  }
})

events/messageReactionAdd.js:

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

module.exports = {
    name: Events.MessageReactionAdd,
    async execute(reaction) {
        console.log("event entered");
        if (reaction.emoji.identifier == 'gold') {
            console.log("Reaction emoji gold!");
        } else {
            console.log(reaction.emoji.identifier);
        }
    }
};

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

module.exports = {
    name: Events.MessageReactionAdd,
    async execute(reaction) {
        console.log("event entered");
        if (reaction.emoji.identifier == 'gold') {
            console.log("Reaction emoji gold!");
        } else {
            console.log(reaction.emoji.identifier);
        }
    }
};

That’s not a valid format for Emoji.identifier You should just check the emoji.id to the custom emoji id that ur checking for

If that were the problem it would still be either printing something (even if just undefined) or giving an error, but it isn't doing either. I will still make that change, but right now it isn't even entering execute or client.on(Events.MessageReactionAdd

Is the reaction occurring in a guild?

EvenaOP•2mo ago

Yeah, and the bot can see messages in the guild

Octoboomer•2mo ago

Did you enable the guild message reactions intent?

EvenaOP•2mo ago

I believe so, how can I double check? Nevermind, I found it, I had thought GuildMessages and MessageContent together would include it. unfortunately however adding the intent doesn't fix the issue

Octoboomer•2mo ago

Was the message sent before the bot became ready?

EvenaOP•2mo ago

Ah, yeah. That was the issue. Does there happen to be any way around that issue?

Enable the message partial
