I've been searching everywhere for solutions but I'm stuck on this issue.
Here's the scenario I'm dealing with:
I need my bot to execute a command that will send an embed to a specific channel accessible only by admins. Done.
Following that, the bot should automatically react to its own message with number emojis 1, 2, and 3. Issue.
- I want the bot to not wait for a reaction from an admin. The embed should remain until an admin reacts to it, whether that happens in a minute or days later. However, if the bot is restarted, it stops waiting for the reaction. I have an event in place which triggers when someone reacts with a particular emoji, though it could use some enhancements but it does work:
bot.on("messageReactionAdd", (messageReaction, user) => {
console.log(messageReaction);
if(reaction.emoji.name === "\u0031\u20E3") {
message.channel.send('one'); //Just a temporary test. More code will be added here eventually.
}
else if(reaction.emoji.name === "\u0032\u20E3") {
message.channel.send('two');
}
else if(reaction.emoji.name === "\u0033\u20E3") {
message.channel.send('three');
}
});
The challenge I'm facing is that when running this piece of code:
let cmdEmbed = new discord.RichEmbed()
.setTitle('**Command Menu Test**')
.setDescription("Type commands")
.setAuthor('InfernoBot', 'https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/533089334224617474/17ddec7cb178601d17964040ed8dc32d.png?size=2048')
.setColor(0xD41519);
message.channel.sendEmbed(cmdEmbed).then(function (message) {
message.react('\u0031\u20E3')
message.react('\u0032\u20E3') //This part is not working
message.react('\u0033\u20E3') //This part is not working
});
It only ever adds the reaction of the '1' emoji.
How can I make it so that the bot reacts with numbers 1, 2, and 3 as emojis, without having to wait for a reaction?
PS: I plan to implement code that will resend the same embed with the same reactions once the current embed has been reacted to, essentially resetting it.
EDIT: The bot doesn't always react with 1. Sometimes it only adds one reaction. It's inconsistent. .
