Channel Permissions not working (Discord.JS)

Scripting Support Alternate Language
1

Hello everyone,

So I am trying to edit the permissions of a channel with discord, this is the code I have but it doesn’t work!

NewChannel.permissionOverwrites.create(NewChannel.guild.roles.everyone, { ViewChannel: false })

Any help would be appreciated!

Do you get any errors when running the code?

      if (!userOrRole) throw new DiscordjsTypeError(ErrorCodes.InvalidType, 'parameter', 'User nor a Role');
                             ^

TypeError [InvalidType]: Supplied parameter is not a User nor a Role.

    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5) {
  code: 'InvalidType'
}

This error tells us that this is not a Role nor a User.

Yeah I thought that was the issue, but I have used the exact same code in another script and it works

Strange, have you tried comparing the lines after and before this error?

Also, try doing a specific role.
