NodeJS Issue

[Stentorian]

Hello,

 

So basically I am running into some issues with my code. I am going to put Hastebin links to all of the necessary code (which I think it necessary to my issue) below followed by a full description of what I am trying to do: 

Code:

app.js - https://hasteb.in/osacegoz.js

utilities.js - https://hasteb.in/iveviwin.js

reactions.js - https://hasteb.in/kihoveji.js

messageReactionAdd.js (in the events folder) - https://hasteb.in/emizihiv.js

 

I want it so that when the bot is started up, it will send the embed defined in reactions.js in #verification in my Discord server and will react to it with the ticket symbol. After that, it will be constantly watching that message for a reaction to happen. If a reaction occurs (only with that emoji) then the user that reacted is given the Member role. A bit like how the tickets work with the emoji reactions but not creating a channel and instead adding a role.

 

I am not getting any errors when running the code and I have asked a friend who is experienced in Node to help out and he's stuck as well. Any help would be appreciated. 

 

Many Thanks, 

Ben

I've already put it in an event as the URL says. That's the whole point of the `messageReactionAdd.js`

Which version of discord.js are using? The documentation I'm reading suggests that you should be checking against `reaction.emoji.name`, and then it should be `if (reaction.emoji.name === 'white_check_mark')`, though I'm not sure if the name property includes the colons or not. Temporarily remove the if statement and log the properties of the emoji object.

I am using version 11.5.1 of Discord.JS. And for some reason when I ran 

console.log(reaction);

it just gave me all the bot's information. So everything that I had provided as the bot.settings variable (where the token is stored) and all the channels in the guild. Nothing other than that.

I was able to get it to work with:

if (reaction.emoji.name == "") {
  // do something
}

What exactly isn't working for you? Is the messageReactionAdd event not emitting, or is it failing the condition?

Well the message is getting sent into the channel and it reacts with the emoji but I don't think it is watching the message for any other reactions. I need it to consistently keep watching it as the bot is on for any reaction and not stop watching it even when someone reacts to it.
