bot.rest.create_guild_text_channel permission overwrites

[gusty condor]

i created a slashcommand in lightbulb and now i wonder how to overwrite the permissions of the channel, i want that the default guild role gets the read messages permission removed and the user of the command gets the read messages permission

[unique pivot]

channel_created = await ctx.rest.fetch_channel(...)

overwrites_new = hikari.PermissionOverwrite(...)

# or a sequence of over writes using a list that will contain multiple overwrites. 

await channel_created.edit(overwrites=overwrites_new)

this might help

[gusty condor]

and how to use hikari.PermissionOverwrite?

[fallen mantle]

the docs say in great detail how to use it:
https://docs.hikari-py.dev/en/latest/reference/hikari/channels/#hikari.channels.PermissionOverwrite

another question how do i get the id of a channel, which i created with await bot.rest.create_guild_text_channel? i only have the name of the channel

[fallen mantle]

that method returns GuildTextChannel (https://docs.hikari-py.dev/en/latest/reference/hikari/channels/#hikari.channels.GuildTextChannel)

just do .id on it

[fallen mantle]

no need to fetch the channel btw, that's making one extra useless api call

[gusty condor]

but i want to get the channel id of the channel i just created with await bot.rest.create_guild_text_channel

[gusty condor]

if u dont really understand what i want i will explain it: i created a slash cmd which creates a channel by given variables and i want overwrite the channel permissions in the sact same slashcommand

[fallen mantle]

I understand you perfectly

channel = bot.rest.create_guild_text_channel(...)
print(channel.id)  # your created channel's ID

@gusty condor

and anyway, as the docs say you can set permission overwrites when creating the channel

no need to edit it afterwards

perhaps you could give the documentation a read?
https://docs.hikari-py.dev/en/latest/reference/hikari/api/rest/#hikari.api.rest.RESTClient.create_guild_text_channel

[gusty condor]

thank u, but idk how to use these build in permission overwrites

[fallen mantle]

https://docs.hikari-py.dev/en/latest/reference/hikari/channels/#hikari.channels.PermissionOverwrite

the docs explain exactly how

[gusty condor]

and how do i do 2 overwrites?

[fallen mantle]

pass a sequence (list) of overwrite objects to the overwrites paramater of create_guild_text_channel
