Don't forget to add the `onInteraction` event to your main file. For example:

```javascript
bot.addEvent([
    "onMessage",
    "onInteraction" //This is what you need to add
])
```

{% endhint %}

### Example

```javascript
bot.commands.add({
    type: "basicCommand",
    name: "menu", 
    code: `A menu!
    $addActionRow
    $addSelectMenu[menu_1;Hi;1;1]
    $addSelectMenuOption[hi;im uwu;hi]
    $addSelectMenuOption[fiction;nice stuff;fiction]`
})

bot.commands.add({    
    type: "selectMenuCommand",
    code: `Interaction Value: $interactionValues | Interaction ID: $interactionID`
})
