Upgrading my bot from V11 to V12.1.1 I have a messageReactionAdd as
client.on("messageReactionAdd", (reaction, user) => {
console.log("Reaction added");
if (user.id == client.user.id){return console.log("Reaction is from Lillette");}
const chanid = reaction.message.channel.id;
console.log(chanid);
let chanchk = (reactchannels.indexOf(chanid) > -1);
console.log(chanchk);
if(chanchk === false){return console.log("Reaction not in a valid channel");}
for (var i = 0; i < reactchannels.length; i++){
if (reactchannels[i] == chanid && i == 0){arrayn = reactnames.one, arrayr = reactroles.one, console.log(`Success at i=${i}`);}
else if (reactchannels[i] == chanid && i == 1){arrayn = reactnames.two, arrayr = reactroles.two, console.log(`Success at i=${i}`);}
else {arrayn = [], arrayr = [];}
if(arrayn.length !== arrayr.length){/*return*/ console.log("Arrays not equal length");}
const emoji = reaction.emoji.name; //"cat";
const guildmem = reaction.message.guild.members.cache.get(user.id);
for (var e = 0; e < arrayn.length; e++) {
if (emoji == arrayn[e]) {
console.log(`Found emoji named ${arrayn[e]}, corresponding role = ${arrayr[e]}`);
var findrole = reaction.message.guild.roles.cache.find(g => g.name === arrayr[e]);
if (findrole == null) {return console.log("User has reacted with a valid emoji, but the role does not exist in the guild");}//End if no roles found
guildmem.roles.add(`${findrole.id}`);//assign role
return; //no need to continue loop if role found
}//End of if
//else {console.log(`No roles found for ${arrayn[e]}`);}
}//End of for e
}//end of for i
if (arrayn.length == 0 || arrayr.length == 0){/*return*/ console.log("END -- arrayn or arrayr lengths are equal to 0");}
});
Yes it's untidy but It will not pass line 2 console.log("Reaction added"); except when the bot reacts to a message, in which case it returns due to line 3. Channel/emoji/emojinames/arrayn/arrayr are defined above the code but don't seem relevant at this point.
Can anyone point me towards why a user (both myself and an alt account) does not register a reaction event (fire line 2) when using the same emoji in the same channel/message as the bot?
EDIT: In both cases the message reacted to IS sent AFTER the bot is turned on. And similarly a raw reaction event is included in the code below to grab and handle uncached messages (but not yet being debugged as the simpler, messageReactionAdd is not working).
