Syntax

$repliedMessageID[Channel ID;Message ID]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Channel ID	The channel of the message to read.
Message ID	The message whose replied message is wanted.

The two arguments go together (or none at all): giving a single one raises the error “Replied message ID expects zero or two arguments.”. Both IDs must be decimal numbers greater than zero, otherwise “Invalid Discord ID.” is raised.

Return Value

• Type: String (Snowflake ID)
• The ID of the message that the read message replies to.
• Empty string if the read message is not a reply.

Behavior

• Without argument, the triggering message is fetched from Discord using the channel.id and message.id context variables; if they are not valid IDs the error Invalid Discord ID. is raised.
• With Channel ID;Message ID, that message is fetched instead (its channel must hold messages, else “Channel does not support messages.”).
• Only a message whose Discord type is “reply” gives a value: it is the ID referenced by the reply.
• Returns the ID of the original message, not the one that was read.

Examples

Quote the replied message

$if[$repliedMessageID!=]
  $var[msg;$getMessage[$channelID;$repliedMessageID]]
  $title[📝 Reply to a message]
  $description[
  **Original author:** $userName[$authorOfMessage[$channelID;$repliedMessageID]]
  **Message:** $var[msg]
  ]
$else
  $sendMessage[Please reply to a message to use this command.]
$endif

Moderation by reply

$if[$repliedMessageID!=]
  $var[author;$authorOfMessage[$channelID;$repliedMessageID]]
  $title[⚠️ Report]
  $description[
  **Reported message:** ||$getMessage[$channelID;$repliedMessageID]||
  **Author:** $userName[$var[author]]
  **Reported by:** $userName[$authorID]
  ]
  $color[#ED4245]
  $sendMessage[Message reported.]
$else
  $sendMessage[Reply to a message to report it.]
$endif

Replied message of a given message

$repliedMessageID[$channelID;$message[1]]

Returns the ID of the message that $message[1] answers, or nothing if it is not a reply.

Quote and delete

$if[$repliedMessageID!=]
  $var[msg;$getMessage[$channelID;$repliedMessageID]]
  $title[🗑️ Message deleted]
  $description[Message from **$userName[$authorOfMessage[$channelID;$repliedMessageID]]** deleted.\nContent: ||$var[msg]||]
  $deleteMessage[$channelID;$repliedMessageID]
$endif

Notes

• Returns an empty string for a normal message that is not a reply.
• Without a triggering message (for example a slash command, where no message.id is supplied by the host) the lookup fails with an error instead of returning an empty string.
