Logging deleted messages in discord.net C#












0















I am trying to learn the task part of discord.net and I have been trying to log when a user deletes a message, however I am not getting this to work and all help would be appreciated.



Here is my current code for this and keep in mind I set MessageCacheSize to a reasonable size



internal static async Task LogDeleted(Cacheable<IMessage, ulong> arg1, ISocketMessageChannel arg2)
{
EmbedBuilder eb = new EmbedBuilder();
EmbedFooterBuilder efb = new EmbedFooterBuilder();

var msg = arg1.GetOrDownloadAsync();

eb.Title = "Message deleted";

eb.AddField("Message:", $"{msg}");

await arg2.SendMessageAsync("", embed: eb);
}

I am pretty sure await arg2.SendMessageAsync("", embed: eb); will give you an error so change it to eb.Build(), it is like a StringBuilder, you will have to do ToString at the end aswell. As for the other part it seems pretty decent, but you might ran into Ratelimit Issues, since with a bot you can bulk delete which would cause your code to sent for each message deleted a new one. You would need to do a Bulk delete detection system, since Discord itself handels a bulk delete like delting every message one by one.



Note you can also do this: eb.AddField("Message:", msg.Content or msg.ToString()); instead of eb.AddField("Message:", $"{msg}");.
