im over here frying my brain to death trying to figure out how to prevent users from using someone elses selection menu, and i can't seem to fix that issue.. so here i am asking for some help smh.
i know it has something to do with the collector, but im not sure what it is.
I have asked around all over discord, but havent really had a straight forward answer on how to solve this issue because it gets annoying when you try to use a selection menu and then someone else comes along and it able to use the same frickin menu that you are trying to use, so i had enough of that crap and im just trying to find a way to prevent others from using each others menus and so on.
any help will be appreciated, just want it to ignore them or respond to them saying its not their menu or whatever.

Hi you can do that by adding
if(interaction.author !== message.author) return;
This means that if message.author is not the interaction member it will return nothing.
