the ctx.guild.create_role() function doesn't take a position arg

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Guild.create_role

[hazy hawk]

how do i set the position then?

or how do i set the role as hoisted?

pls

😭

[keen plover]

you can hoist the role in the create_role func with hoisted=True
but to set its position, you need to edit it by getting the role and calling .edit() on it

i need further explanation on the position thing

[keen plover]

await ctx.guild.create_role(...) returns a Role
you can then call edit on it

def your_command(ctx):
  ...
  new_role = await ctx.guild.create_role(...)
  await new_role.edit(position=...)

[hazy hawk]

ohhhhhhhh

[keen plover]

ctx.guild.create_role() doesn't accept position itself

[hazy hawk]

never seen that

i am learning with chatgpt and it is extremely good at learning code but it is 2 years outdated ._.

and also how do i set default position, cuz i read 0 is the top so that doesn't work?

why wouldn't 0 be bottom?

@keen plover it says it cant take a hoisted arg

[formal marsh]

Try hoist instead of hoisted
