I’m working on a Discord bot to show student clubs at my college. The bot finds clubs based on what users type. I want to make the info look nice and not just be a big chunk of text.
I’m thinking about using an embedded message where users can click a button to see different clubs. I know how to make a basic embedded message, but I’m not sure how to do one with multiple pages.
What I want is something like this:
[Embedded Message]
Club Name: Robotics Club
Description: Build and program robots
Members: 50
[Next] [Previous]
Is this possible? How can I set it up? Any tips would be great!
Absolutely! I’ve done something similar for my university’s gaming club Discord. It’s a bit tricky to set up at first, but totally doable.
Here’s what worked for me:
I used Discord.js and created an array of embeds for each club. Then I set up a message with the first embed and added reaction emojis for navigation. I used an event listener to watch for reactions, and when someone clicked, I edited the message with the next or previous embed.
One thing to watch out for - make sure to remove the user’s reaction after each click, or it gets messy fast. Also, consider adding a ‘timeout’ feature that stops listening after a while to save resources.
It took some trial and error, but the end result was super clean and user-friendly. Students loved being able to browse through clubs easily. Good luck with your project!
yea, it’s all good! i did somethin simlr for my gaming clan. just use discord.js, create your embeds array, and add buttons. collector handles clicks and updates the embed. just keep an eye on timeouts and boundaries.
Yes, it’s definitely possible to create a multi-page embedded message with a Discord bot. I’ve implemented something similar for a game server I manage. You’ll want to use the Discord.js library and its MessageEmbed class for the embed structure. For pagination, you can utilize message components like buttons.
Here’s a basic approach:
Create an array of embeds, one for each club.
Send the initial embed with ‘Next’ and ‘Previous’ buttons.
Add a collector to listen for button interactions.
When a button is clicked, edit the message with the new embed.
Remember to handle edge cases like reaching the first or last page. Also, consider adding a timeout to your collector to save resources.
It takes some work to set up, but the result is worth it for a clean, interactive user experience.
