How do I set the activity of my bot?

[N0m4n904]

Hi all,
I am switching from Discord4j to Kord right now and I am searching for the way how I would set the activity for my bot.

It would be pretty nice if someone could tell me how to do it. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find it in the wiki.

My code looks like this right now:

suspend fun main() {
    val kord = Kord(botState.token) {
        cache {
            users {cache, description ->
                MapEntryCache(cache, description, MapLikeCollection.concurrentHashMap())
            }
            messages {cache, description ->
                MapEntryCache(cache, description, MapLikeCollection.lruLinkedHashMap(maxSize = 100))
            }
            members {cache, description ->
                MapEntryCache(cache, description, MapLikeCollection.none())
            }
        }
    }

    kord.on<MessageCreateEvent> {
        if (message.author?.isBot != false) return@on
        if (message.content != "!ping") return@on

        message.channel.createMessage("pong!")
    }

    kord.login {
        @OptIn(PrivilegedIntent::class)
        intents += Intent.MessageContent
    }
}

use Kord#editPresence

The only way I am able to access editPresence is like this:

 val kord = Kord(botState.token) {
        cache {
            users { cache, description ->
                MapEntryCache(cache, description, MapLikeCollection.concurrentHashMap())
            }
            messages { cache, description ->
                MapEntryCache(cache, description, MapLikeCollection.lruLinkedHashMap(maxSize = 100))
            }
            members { cache, description ->
                MapEntryCache(cache, description, MapLikeCollection.none())
            }
        }
    }

    kord.editPresence { playing("a game") }

With this I get the error: lateinit property socket has not been initialized

you'll need to login into the gateway before editing presence:

kord.login()

// somewhere else in reaction to some event etc.
kord.editPresence { playing("a game") }

to set the presence at start, you can also use the login function directly:

kord.login {
    presence {
        playing("a game")
    }
}
