Cant get the reactions to recognise on a specific message now - discord.js

Question

In a pervious post I was having issues getting the bot to recognise reactions and the fix worked however and then changed it to react on a message that the bot says afterwards and now it isnt working again, I have tried changing the user condition so its the original command author but that didn't seem to work
So you run the code and it makes the embed perfectly and reacts to it however it doesnt recognise when you react and makes the timeout message
exports.run = async (client, message, args) => {
message.delete()
const MINUTES = 5;
const questions = [
{ answer: null, field: 'placeholdquestion' },
{ answer: null, field: 'placeholdquestion' },
{ answer: null, field: 'placeholdquestion' },
]; //to add more questions just add another line of the above code {answes: null, field: `Question Here`}
let current = 0;
const commanduser = message.author.id
// ...
// wait for the message to be sent and grab the returned message
// so we can add the message collector
const sent = await message.author.send(
`${questions[current].field}`,
);
const filter = (response) => response.author.id === message.author.id;
// send in the DM channel where the original question was sent
const collector = sent.channel.createMessageCollector(filter, {
max: questions.length,
time: MINUTES * 60 * 1000,
});
// fires every time a message is collected
collector.on('collect', (message) => {
//if (questions > 1 && questions < 10) {
// add the answer and increase the current index HERE
questions[current++].answer = message.content;
const hasMoreQuestions = current < questions.length; //change to be an imput of how many questions you want asked
if (hasMoreQuestions) {
message.author.send(
`${questions[current].field}`,
);
}
});
// fires when either times out or when reached the limit
collector.on('end', (collected, reason) => {
if (reason === 'time') {
return message.author.send(
`I'm not saying you're slow but you only answered ${collected.size} questions out of ${questions.length} in ${MINUTES} minutes. I gave up.`,
);
}
const embed = new MessageEmbed()
.setTitle("LOA Request")
.addFields(
{ name: 'placehold', value: questions[0].answer+'/10' },
{ name: 'placehold', value: questions[1].answer+'/10' },
{ name: 'placehold', value: questions[2].answer+'/10', inline: true },)
.setColor(`#1773BA`)
.setTimestamp()
.setThumbnail("https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/772915309714735205/795378037813805126/mvg_clean_2.png")
.setFooter("request by: " + message.author.tag);
;
message.channel.send(embed)
.then(function (message) {
message.react("👍")
message.react("👎")})
const filter = (reaction, user) => {
return ['👍', '👎'].includes(reaction.emoji.name) && user.id === commanduser; //changed to try and fix it didnt work as message.author.id or this
};
message.awaitReactions(filter, { max: 1, time: 60000, errors: ['time'] } )
.then(collected => {
const reaction = collected.first();
if (reaction.emoji.name === '👍') {
message.channel.send('you reacted with a thumbs up.');
}
else {
message.reply('you reacted with a thumbs down.');
}
})
.catch(collected => {
console.log(`After a minute, only ${collected.size} out of 4 reacted.`);
message.reply('you didn\'t react with neither a thumbs up, nor a thumbs down.');
});
});
;
}

You have a slight logic error. You need to fit the code from your second filter to the message.awaitReactions inside of your message.channel.send(embed).then(function (message)...) method. In your code, the bot is trying to check for reactions from the original message, which you already deleted (since the awaitReactions is outside the scope of your function where you send and react to the embed).
Like this:
message.channel.send(embed)
.then(function (message) {
message.react("👍")
message.react("👎")
const filter2 = (reaction, user) => {
return ['👍', '👎'].includes(reaction.emoji.name) && user.id === commanduser;
};
message.awaitReactions(filter2, { max: 1, time: 60000, errors: ['time'] })
.then(collected => {
const reaction = collected.first();
if (reaction.emoji.name === '👍') {
message.channel.send('you reacted with a thumbs up.');
}
else {
message.reply('you reacted with a thumbs down.');
}
})
.catch(collected => {
console.log(`After a minute, only ${collected.size} out of 4 reacted.`);
message.reply('you didn\'t react with neither a thumbs up, nor a thumbs down.');
});
})
