I'm trying to make a bot that will delete messages with a certain amount of thumbsdown reactions. I'm having trouble identifying the count of a specific reaction on a message.

Basically, I've created a command that waits for messages and adds them to my msgarray. After each message, I want to go through the array and delete any messages with the specified amount of reactions.

This is what I have so far:

var msgarray = ;

const msgs = await message.channel.awaitMessages(msg => {

  msgarray.push(msg);

  for (i = 0; i < msgarray.length; i++) {

    // I'm not sure where to go from here, I want to make an if statement that checks

    // for a certain amount of thumbsdown reactions on the message

    if (msgarray[i].reactions) {

      // incomplete

    }

  }

});

This is my first time programming in javascript, so I apologize if this code doesn't make much sense.

TextChannel.awaitMessages() resolves with a Collection, so the msg parameter you're using is not a single message, but a Collection of multiple messages.

Also, it would be better to check messages only when they get a reaction, using the messageReactionAdd event, that fires every time someone adds a reaction.

It should look like this:

// this code is executed every time they add a reaction

client.on('messageReactionAdd', (reaction, user) => {

  let limit = 10; // number of thumbsdown reactions you need

  if (reaction.emoji.name == '👎' && reaction.count >= limit) reaction.message.delete();

});
