Old message content

I'm trying to use a message update event to get the content of an old message, from a dm with the bot, however, every time without fail, it's null. Is there a way to guarantee i get the old content, or a more stable way than going event.old.content?

I think you need to cache messages

NoCommentOP•3y ago

hm is ther an easy way to do that? never done it before 😅

LustigerLurch•3y ago

*enable caching messages, not cache them yourself

NoCommentOP•3y ago

a ~~again how :>~~

LustigerLurch•3y ago

but apart from caching, there is no way to get old message content

LustigerLurch•3y ago

I think the wiki shows how

NoCommentOP•3y ago

the kord wiki or kordex?

LustigerLurch•3y ago

kord, idk about kordex, sorry

NoCommentOP•3y ago

LustigerLurch•3y ago

kord.dev are dokka docs, I mean the gh wiki

KordEx enables it by default But it's a small cache by default, only around 10k messages

kord {
    cache {
        messages { cache, description ->
            MapEntryCache(cache, description, MapLikeCollection.concurrentHashMap())
        }
    }
}

kord {
    cache {
        messages { cache, description ->
            MapEntryCache(cache, description, MapLikeCollection.concurrentHashMap())
        }
    }
}

this works so I'm gonna use that since message content doesn't change anything
