javascript - Discord.js awaitMessages loop?

Question

I'm trying to write a loop with awaitMessages loop for a simple game on a Discord bot (discord.js).

Here is my code for this module thus far:

message.channel.awaitMessages(filter2, { max: 1 })
            .then(collected2 => {
            const response2 = collected2.first();
            if (response1.author.id === Fighter1 && response2.author.id === Fighter2)
                message.channel.send(`Round #1, FIGHT!!`);
                message.channel.send(`${Fighter1.user.username} Punch, Kick, or Block?`);
                message.channel.awaitMessages(filter1, { max: 1 })
                .then(collected => {
                    const response = collected.first();
                    });
                    if (response.author.id === Fighter1)
                        const Move1 = response.content
                    else
                        message.channel.send(`Not your turn!`)

I want to make it revert to await.Messages if the else condition is met, (and not spam the 'Not your turn!' message in the process.) Can anyone help?

I'm not familiar with discord.js but first I would remove this Promise chain and use async/await. You can always revert this later but it will make it much easier to read:

// wait for first response
const collected2 = await message.channel.awaitMessages(filter2, { max: 1 });
const response2 = collected2.first();

if (response1.author.id === Fighter1 && response2.author.id === Fighter2) {
  await message.channel.send(`Round #1, FIGHT!!`);
}

// prompt for attack input
await message.channel.send(`${Fighter1.user.username} Punch, Kick, or Block?`);

const collected = await message.channel.awaitMessages(filter1, { max: 1 });
const response = collected.first();

// process attack response
if (response.author.id === Fighter1) {
  const Move1 = response.content;
}
else {
  const message.channel.send(`Not your turn!`);
}
