Precondition results
Can we use a different error class besides UserError in the precondition's error method?
Might seem like a dumb question, but the last time I attempted it result couldn't unwrap the error

you could throw your own error and not use
this.error yes but there really should be no reason to at all. I don't know what problem you were having but I've never faced such a problem.
It's very easy to handle precondition errors. Just create a listener called <type of command>Denied and the error is right there, no need to unwrap it or anything.

The error actually originated from sapphire's core pre message run listener, not from my own listener.. idk why but my custom class made it so result couldn't unwrap the error. It was quite the strange error and I never understood why it didn't work
My only reason is that I pass some extra things to precondition errors, and I'd like to have better type safety than just using
as ExampleInterface on the contextthat is either a very old bug from like a year ago or more, or something is wrong somewhere and code to repro the error would be very much appreciated
I'll see if I can find the old bot files where this error happened. No promises though since I recently switched laptops and I haven't quite transferred everything properly
But alright, I'll try again now. Hopefully it works
