but with "on_message_edit" i can just call "before, after"

and get the before and after

[proper holly]

No

[autumn swallow]

is that a reason to use the "on_raw_message_edit" rather than the standard version?

like what is the advantage

just so its always in the bots cache?

[proper holly]

on_raw_message_edit always triggers regardless of cache

[autumn swallow]

theoritcally, this is so probably over engineered and there is probably a easier way to do it, if i made it so the bot caches the message in a custom made cache such as below, and i can call the "on_raw_message_edit" and just retrieve the before from this cache if its not in the bot's cache

class Caching:
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.cache = {}
        self.clearCacheLoop.start()


    @loop(seconds=30)
    async def clearCacheLoop(self):
        for cacheName, cache in self.cache.items():
            clearCount = len(cache)
            cache.clear()
            cacheLog.info(f'Cleared: {clearCount} items from cache: {cacheName}')

    def registerCache(self, name, cacheDict):
        self.cache[name] = cacheDict
    
    def clearGuildCache(self, guildID):
        for cacheName, cache in self.cache.items():
            if guildID in cache:
                cache.pop(guildID, None)
                cacheLog.info(f"Cleared cache for guild {guildID} in {cacheName}")

    def cogUnload(self):
        self.clearCacheLoop.cancel()
    
    @clearCacheLoop.before_loop
    async def beforeCacheLoop(self):
        await self.bot.wait_until_ready()

[proper holly]

you can access bot._connection._messages which is Deque[Message]

though this is discouraged because its library internals

[autumn swallow]

if discouraged, i mean realistically i can just store it using it like this though right?

                self.messageContent[message.id] = {
                    "content":  message.content
                }

on a on_message event?

[proper holly]

probably

[autumn swallow]

okay, that'll work for now, cross the other bridge when i come to it, thanks

!tl

is there a command to lock threads?
