Gateway Intents & Partials
Hi !
In this picture, what does this mean exactly?
Also, I tried listening for reactions on old messages without the GuildPresences intent, and the
"If you use gateway intents but can't or don't want to use the privileged GuildPresences intent, you additionally need the User partial."Why is it related to the
User
object?Also, I tried listening for reactions on old messages without the GuildPresences intent, and the
user
from messageReactionAdd
was a full object (not a partial). How does that work?

Discord almost never provides enough data to fill in the data class completely in update and delete events. Itβs very minimal
D.js relies on the data in the caches to fill in what Discord fails to provide
This is not exactly my question
Discord provides the GuildMember (if applicable) for the messageReactionAdd event
Apparently just the Member object

Which would provide the User object
Partial only applies to DM reactions
