I'm using this code below to edit every new channel or an edited channel to deny SendMessages for Mute-Role, and deny ViewChannel for Prison-Role. However I'm getting this weird error in the attachment I sent, and maybe just maybe because there's a ticket bot that created and deleted some channels so how to remove this error?

const MuteR = "MUTEROLEID"
const PrisonR = "PRISONROLEID"
client.on('channelUpdate', async (oldChannel, newChannel) => {
    let role = newChannel.guild.roles.cache.get(MuteR);
    await newChannel.permissionOverwrites.edit(role.id, {
        SendMessages: false,
    }).catch(err => console.log(err));
    //
    let role2 = newChannel.guild.roles.cache.get(PrisonR);
    await newChannel.permissionOverwrites.edit(role2.id, {
        ViewChannel: false,
    }).catch(err => console.log(err));
});

client.on('channelCreate', async (channel) => {
    let role = channel.guild.roles.cache.get(MuteR);
    await channel.permissionOverwrites.edit(role.id, {
        SendMessages: false,
    }).catch(err => console.log(err));
    //
    let role2 = channel.guild.roles.cache.get(PrisonR);
    await channel.permissionOverwrites.edit(role2.id, {
        ViewChannel: false,
    }).catch(err => console.log(err));
});

afaik channelUpdate and channelCreate shouldnt fire on a deleted channel (channelDelete should fire here). So... this kind of doesnt make any sense to me

#

you would be editing a channel that doesnt exist. Maybe try checking if the channel exists beforehand anyways, just in case

I tried to put
if (!newChannel) return; in channelUpdate Event,
and if (!channel) return; in channelCreate Event.
But still the same

#

yea the error doesnt seem to come from there tbh

#

are you editing channel overwrites somewhere else perhaps?

real steppe Sep 30, 2023, 11:27 PM

#

no just there

#

that's why I'm confused

gray merlin Sep 30, 2023, 11:29 PM

#

hm...

#

by the way you kind of have a loop here

#

you create a channel, that triggers the channel update event

#

you edit the overwrites there (which i dont get why you dont create the overwrites while creating the channel if you use the bot)

#

that triggers a channelUpdate event, then you again modify the channel

#

thats gonna create an inifite loop

#

also if the channel is deleted in between these events then yea that could create this issue. You see the channel id in the url there? channels/channelId, if you copy that one and try searching for it in your bot channels cache, what happens
