currently all this does is send a new message and keep editing the old one every 1 second, how would i make it so it edits the old message to the (response 1)/(response 2) and then keep it like that?

Please put your code in a code block:
```py
Here is your Code
```
That makes reading code in Discord a lot easier:
print("This is an example.")
my bad
message is too big to send lmao
done
async def game(ctx):
listofnumbers = ["1","2","3"]
number = random.choice(listofnumbers)
message = await ctx.send("**IT HAS ESCAPED**\n**YOU MUST CATCH IT!**")
await asyncio.sleep(3)
button = Button(style = discord.ButtonStyle.green, emoji = ":arrow_backward:", custom_id = "button1")
button2 = Button(style = discord.ButtonStyle.green, emoji = ":arrow_up_small:", custom_id = "button2")
button3 = Button(style = discord.ButtonStyle.green, emoji = ":arrow_forward:", custom_id = "button3")
view = View()
view.add_item(button)
view.add_item(button2)
view.add_item(button3)
async def button_callback(interaction):
if number != ("1"):
await interaction.response.edit_message("response 1")
else:
await interaction.response.edit_message("response 2")
async def button_callback2(interaction):
if number != ("2"):
await interaction.response.edit_message("response 1")
else:
await interaction.response.edit_message("response 2")
async def button_callback3(interaction):
if number != ("3"):
await interaction.response.edit_message("response 1")
else:
await interaction.response.edit_message("response 2")
button.callback = button_callback
button2.callback = button_callback2
button3.callback = button_callback3
await message.edit(content= f"⠀⠀:watermelon:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀:watermelon:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀:watermelon:\n{number}", view=view)
while (((button_callback)) or ((button_callback2)) or ((button_callback3))) != True:
await asyncio.sleep(1)
listofnumbers = ["1","2","3"]
number = random.choice(listofnumbers)
await message.edit(content= f"⠀⠀:watermelon:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀:watermelon:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀:watermelon:\n{number}", view=view)
if (((button_callback)) or ((button_callback2)) or ((button_callback3))) == True:
break```What is the while loop for?
median sandal
while the button isnt pressed, edit the message every 1 second
civic plover
And how is a function ever going to be equal to True?
median sandal
if you pressed the button, i havent used it before and all the guides i read online are unclear
civic plover
That is not even close to how it works
median sandal
amazing
civic plover
Do you know basic Python?
median sandal
i learnt a decent amount of it before going onto tkinter and then discord
civic plover
Your solution is incredibly confusing, I'm not sure why that break is there either
Just have a variable that is True to begin with, run the while loop as long as that variable is true and set it to false on your button callbacks
median sandal
how can i make it so when the button is pressed it edits the message first send instead of sending a whole new one?
civic plover
The same way you are editing the message in your loop?
median sandal
yeah apart from it only edits it once
civic plover
Because your loop never runs, since your if statement is completely wrong
median sandal
the loop actually does kinda work, it does edit the message every 1 second, but it doesnt stop editing it after its meant to
civic plover
Yeah, because your check doesn't make any sense at all
This part
It's completely wrong
median sandal
so how would i get it to edit the message in await interaction.response.edit_message("response 1")
i forget to change it back
that line is broken
civic plover
The same way you are editing the message in your loop?
