Editing in a local picture to embed | Discord.Net | Page 1

Order of actions:

Send a message in a channel using .SendMessageAsync (without a picture in the embed)
After someone triggers a modal, a picture is generated.
Looking to edit that picture into the first message embed sent

I am aware I need to use .SendFileAsync, but since I don't actually send a file the first time I send the message, but later want to edit it in, how would I be able to do that?

Thanks 🙂

You can just get the message =>

ModifyAsync(x =>
{
     x.Attachments = new [] {new FileAttachment(path, "Namee123.jpeg")});
    x.Embeds = .........WithImageUrl("attachment://Namee123.jpeg");

Something like this
Might need to change some things since i wrote this on phone and there could be mistakes

leaden lynx You can just get the message => ```cs ModifyAsync(x => { x.Attachments = n...

The image is in the default directory. Any reason why I this don't work:
await message.ModifyAsync(m => m.Embed = new_embed)
or is it that I also need to add the new attachment like you did to be able to add a file to it?

Basic knowledge over here, so sorry if it's a dumb question 😛 Trying to learn 😊

I mean
You need to upload an image so it shows up

So that is what the x.Attachments = new [] {new FileAttachment(path, "Namee123.jpeg")}); part does?
