How to edit an Embed(Documentation isn't working) Hi. Trying to make a discord bot that will send a message to a specific channel on startup. I have the message sent to the specific channel on startup, however, when I try to edit it a error is thrown saying message.edit is not a function. I am following the direct steps from the documentation and it is not working. Why and how do I fix this issue? ts let message: any; if(channel?.isTextBased() ) { message = channel.send({ embeds: [ playerCountEmbedLoading() ] }); } setInterval(() => { if(channel?.isTextBased() ) { return message.edit({ embeds: [ playerCountEmbed() ] }) } }, 3000)

How to edit an Embed(Documentation isn't working)

Hi.

Trying to make a discord bot that will send a message to a specific channel on startup. I have the message sent to the specific channel on startup, however, when I try to edit it a error is thrown saying message.edit is not a function. I am following the direct steps from the documentation and it is not working. Why and how do I fix this issue?

         let message: any;

    if(channel?.isTextBased() ) {
            message = channel.send({ embeds: [ playerCountEmbedLoading() ] });
    }

    setInterval(() => {
             if(channel?.isTextBased() ) {
            return message.edit({ embeds: [ playerCountEmbed() ] })
          }
    }, 3000)

Yes I am aware that my code doesn't follow the structure mentioned here https://discord.com/channels/737141877803057244/1076513439524077598/1076552454147145879, I have not bothered to change that yet and I believe that is not related to the bug at hand as far as I know?

cant see your code

Favna2/19/2023

should be isTextChannel(channel) && !isStageChannel(channel)

chpsterz2/19/2023

k that fixes the sending issue

chpsterz2/19/2023

this isn't flagged in the code but during run time
