DISCORD TEXT CHANNEL RELAY UPDATE

Question

Good Afternoon.

I’m making a BOT for Discord, and I want to create a text channel and then manage the permissions of it.

However, when updating permissions, you are not updating. I already guaranteed that the BOT is as ADM server.

Follows code:

const Discord = require("discord.js")
exports.run = async (client, message, args, db, civs) => {
const content = args.join(" ");
message.delete();


//if (!message.guild.me.hasPermission('MANAGE_CHANNELS')) return message.channel.send('Não tenho permissão de gerenciar canais')
//if (message.guild.channels.cache.find(ch => ch.name.includes(message.author.id))) return message.reply('Já existe um canal criado pra você ')

if (!args[0]) {
    return message.channel.send(`<@${message.author.id}>, escreva a denúncia após o comando`);
  } else if (content.length > 1000) {
    return message.channel.send(`<@${message.author.id}>, forneça uma denúncia de no máximo 1000 caracteres. Caso precise de mais caracteres, continue escrevendo depois de fazer a denúncia primária.`);
  } else {


let channel // declarando variavel global channel que é o canal que vai ser criado e marcado a pessoa que deu comando
try { // ← Tentar criar o canal, se nao conseguir cai no catch
    channel = await message.guild.channels
        .create(`den•┋${message.member.displayName}|`,{
            type: 'text',
            permissionOverwrites: [
                {
                 id: '729790119388905552', // everyone
                 deny: ['VIEW_CHANNEL'], // permissoes de nao ver o canal (ler mensagens)
            },
            {
                  id: message.author.id, // permissoes para quem digitou o comando
                  allow: ['VIEW_CHANNEL', 'SEND_MESSAGES'], // essa pessoa pode ver o canal e enviar mensagens
            },
            {
                  id: '740149831825358848',  // Moderador
                  allow: ['VIEW_CHANNEL', 'SEND_MESSAGES'] // essa pessoa pode ver o canal e enviar mensagens
            },
            ],
        });
        channel.setParent('774700250953940992');         
    }
catch(err) {
    message.channel.send('Erro: ' + err.message);
}

    let timeout = await channel.send(`<@${message.author.id}>`);// espera o canal ser criado e marca o membro

    // Envia conteúdo da mensagem no canal criado.
    const msg = await channel.send(
       new Discord.MessageEmbed()
       .setColor("#FFFFF1")
       .addField("Autor:", message.author)
       .addField("Conteúdo", content)
       .setFooter("ID do Autor: " + message.author.id)
       .setTimestamp()
     );
}}

exports.config = {
name: 'denuncia',
aliases: ['denuncia']
}

Basically, I want only the author and moderators to be able to see this text channel. Any suggestions?

I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but despite trying to create a channel within a Try/catch I think when you create the channel with the await message.guild.chanels.create() have to assign permissions after the channel is created and not at the time it is created, a solution for this is to add a .then and a .catch() to the object Channel

But I’m not sure if the code I’m going to post below will work because I’ve never tried to create channels as a way to report users. A channel is usually created in the server administration category where the BOT sends all the ports that are made and no independent channel is created for each report. But I will leave the two references where I drew this conclusion at the end of the answer, another good option is to always consult the official documentation of Discord.js here, I know that sometimes it can seem a bit confusing but just research the methods we want to apply in the search bar, usually these say everything that such a method is able to create and how to use it.

let channel; // declarando variavel global channel que é o canal que vai ser criado e marcado a pessoa que deu comando
channel = await message.guild.channels
  .create(`den•┋${message.member.displayName}|`, {
    type: "text",
  })
  .then((channel) => {
    channel.setParent("774700250953940992");
    channel.permissionOverwrites([
      {
        id: "729790119388905552", // everyone
        deny: ["VIEW_CHANNEL"], // permissoes de nao ver o canal (ler mensagens)
      },
      {
        id: message.author.id, // permissoes para quem digitou o comando
        allow: ["VIEW_CHANNEL", "SEND_MESSAGES"], // essa pessoa pode ver o canal e enviar mensagens
      },
      {
        id: "740149831825358848", // Moderador
        allow: ["VIEW_CHANNEL", "SEND_MESSAGES"], // essa pessoa pode ver o canal e enviar mensagens
      },
    ]);
  })
  .catch((err) => console.log(err));

I hope it helps

I managed to solve the problem.

It turns out that using Everyone ID was not effective. So, I found a way out, which is:

const cargo_todos = message.guild.roles.cache.find((cargo_todos) => {
    return cargo_todos.name === '@everyone'
})

let channel // declarando variavel global channel que é o canal que vai ser criado e marcado a pessoa que deu comando
try { // ← Tentar criar o canal, se nao conseguir cai no catch
    channel = await message.guild.channels
        .create(`den•┋${message.member.displayName}|`,{
            type: 'text',
            parent: '774683424551600178',
            permissionOverwrites: [
            {
                 id: cargo_todos.id, // Everyone
                 deny: ['VIEW_CHANNEL', 'SEND_MESSAGES']
            },

With this, the BOT worked correctly.
