Formatting message to include a user does not ping them

[whole locust]

The exact same thing works fine in Serenity for whatever reason

Hmm ok, I'm using a string function on Serenity instead of doing it manually, so its not exactly the same

Twilight:

content: format!("<@{}>", user.id), embeds: vec![embed.build()]

Serenity:

    ctx.send(|builder| {
        builder
            .embed(|e| {
                *e = embed;
                e
            })
            .content(&user.to_string())
    })
    .await?;

Firefox it pings the user
Discord it does not

After losing my sanity for the rest of this morning and afternoon
Looks like the reason is because it was being deferred

So... Now I just need to work out how to defer a message and not have it drop allowedmentions

@leaden coral Can I get your help again? xD

[leaden coral]

Huh

I haven't tried deferring messages before, at least in twilight

Ah darn

@novel steeple You seem to know what you are doing, so maybe you can help out? 😆

[novel steeple]

https://api.twilight.rs/twilight_model/http/interaction/struct.InteractionResponseData.html has an allowed mentions field

How is it getting auto filled in though? That's what I'm trying to work out so that I can clone it and then send it when I acknowledge the deferred message

[novel steeple]

im not sure what you mean

if its None it uses https://api.twilight.rs/twilight_http/client/struct.ClientBuilder.html#method.default_allowed_mentions

[whole locust]

Hmm, I'm not setting AllowedMentions anywhere through my application currently

[novel steeple]

you need to, by default no one is pinged

its to safeguard against unsanitized input

for example if the user doesnt have ping everyone perms but your bot does and the user gets your bot to do it
