editable commands

[gusty lichen]

Is there anyway i can make it so that when someone edits the command it edits the original response and not send a new message everytime?

No, it's a sapphire question since it's in relation to the plugin

I'm looking at source code (never used the plugin myself) and it seems it will only send a new message if the edit fails for whatever reason

ah plugin, my bad

[vivid frost]

@gusty lichen you're using the plugin, right?

But yeah, Favna / vladdy will have to clarify further since I've never used the plugin myself and I'm just looking at the GitHub repo

• I'm on mobile

[gusty lichen]

yup

The plugin works just fine. You can try it with @clever fjord in ##! /bot-commands .

[vivid frost]

So it does edit the response instead of sending a follow up message?

[small magnet]

Yes

[gusty lichen]

yeah i tested skyra too

and i saw it working fine

[small magnet]

You just have to register the plugin and use the send method of the plugin exclusively, so no message.channel.send / message.edit

[gusty lichen]

thats basically what im doing rn

is there any other setup i have to do?

[vivid frost]

Show your code

And make sure you register the plugin in your index

[gusty lichen]

for example this is part of ping.ts

and this is part botinfo.ts

is it bc im editing the message after sending it?

[vivid frost]

I'd assume so

[gusty lichen]

i guess so

bc when i use these commands

and edit between them it works just fine

[vivid frost]

Probably then

[gusty lichen]

but i dont see why editing the message would be an issue tho? its still the same message

[small magnet]

You're calling editReply

Which part of "use send exclusively" was unclear

[gusty lichen]

editReply is only for interaction tho

im not calling the interaction

so it never gets called

[small magnet]

Edit then

Whatever

You know what I mean

[gusty lichen]

how do i edit the message then

just delete and resend?

[small magnet]

No you call send again

[small magnet]

.

[gusty lichen]

oh wait recalling send also edits the message?

[vivid frost]

From skyra

[gusty lichen]

yeah i didnt know that

[small magnet]

Yes

https://github.com/skyra-project/editable-commands/blob/main/src/index.ts#L49-L51

Not using send means no logic is performed

[gusty lichen]

i just checked skyras ping command too

my bad

Outside of prototype pollution there is no way to modify the DiscordJS methods for sending and editing

And the data has to be tracked somewhere
