My mentions dont "work"

// client
const client = new Client({
  intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MEMBERS],
  allowedMentions: { parse: ["users", "roles", "everyone"] }
});


// code
    await interaction.deferReply()
    await interaction.editReply({
      content: interaction.user.toString(),
      embeds: [embed],
      components: components,
      fetchReply: true,
      allowedMentions: {parse: ["users"]} // also tried users: [userid]
    })```

An edit of a Message doesn’t ping

severe seal Jun 12, 2022, 1:13 PM

#

So where tf do i ping them

#

i have a defer

#

which i cant remove

#

it needs to be there

#

the response takes time

flat bloom Jun 12, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

followUp then @trim tapir does it?

trim tapir Jun 12, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

Followup?

severe seal Jun 12, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

what's that

trim tapir Jun 12, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

It sends a new (followup) message

severe seal Jun 12, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

should i delete the old one then

simple sorrel Jun 12, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

interaction.followUp

severe seal Jun 12, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

even a followup didnt work-

trim tapir Jun 12, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

flat bloom An edit of a Message doesn’t ping

Shouldn't it highlight the message for the mentioned user anyways?

#

@trim tapir @severe seal asd

severe seal Jun 12, 2022, 1:15 PM

#

should yes

flat bloom Jun 12, 2022, 1:15 PM

#

trim tapir Shouldn't it highlight the message for the mentioned user anyways?

Does it, check my message

severe seal Jun 12, 2022, 1:15 PM

#

#

dude ik

trim tapir Jun 12, 2022, 1:16 PM

#

Yes It does, it might not send a notification tho.. But the message should get highlighted, edit or not. Unless something changed and only for bots

EDIT: so it's a webhook issue/limitation then?

severe seal Jun 12, 2022, 1:16 PM

#

Ive been making bots for like 3 years now

#

and this one mention thing is ruining my life

#

Well so idk why the fuck but removing the defer works

#

im just gonna hope the bot never takes more than the "no response" times

flat bloom Jun 12, 2022, 1:18 PM

#

For the followUp to work you‘d need to first editReply, because a followUp after deferReply calls editReply otherwise

severe seal Jun 12, 2022, 1:21 PM

#

Update:

#

I really cant have my bot switch to without deferreply

#

without deferreply my mentions work

#

but I need a deferreply since sometimes it takes upto 10 seconds

#

and in that case the mentions dont work

#

Idk anymore what to do

boreal skiff Jun 12, 2022, 1:22 PM

#

severe seal but I need a deferreply since sometimes it takes upto 10 seconds

What about a defer, then a followup and delete the original?

severe seal Jun 12, 2022, 1:23 PM

#

would need an editreply in between so that would make it an extra call

#

dont wanna add that cuz scaling stuff

boreal skiff Jun 12, 2022, 1:24 PM

#

Nah it'll just say thinking:

Defer
Delete
Followup

severe seal Jun 12, 2022, 2:00 PM

#

Is there no fix for my current case? More like why does my case not work

flat bloom Jun 12, 2022, 2:27 PM

#

It doesn’t work because you edit an already existing Message and that doesn’t mention members…

severe seal Jun 12, 2022, 2:27 PM

#

But I'm editing a deferreply, so technicaly i didnt send a message or thats not how it works

flat bloom Jun 12, 2022, 2:28 PM

#

A deferReply is a Message of special kind. But it’s a Message nonetheless

severe seal Jun 12, 2022, 2:28 PM

#

Hmm, makes sense i guess

#

Im gonna have to do it without the defer am i correct then?
