Trigger on_reaction_add everytime #599

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

on_reaction_add is not triggered. How do I get a specific message in client.messages, which is not changed (server rules), so that the on_reaction_add event is always thrown?

You cannot modify the internal message cache reliably to do this.

In the next major version of the library, v1.0.0, there will be counterpart events that do what you ask. They're called "raw" events because they do not provide as much rich data as the corresponding full event.

In your case, that'd be on_raw_reaction_add. However, this does not exist in the currently released version of the library (v0.16.x series) and never will be.

You can try migrating to the newest version, but it's non-trivial: http://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/rewrite/migrating.html
