Method: Discordrb::Server#create_channel

Defined in:
lib/discordrb/data/server.rb

#create_channel(name, type = 0, topic: nil, bitrate: nil, user_limit: nil, permission_overwrites: nil, parent: nil, nsfw: false, rate_limit_per_user: nil, position: nil, reason: nil) ⇒ Channel

Note:

If parent is provided, permission overwrites have the follow behavior:

  1. If overwrites is null, the new channel inherits the parent's permissions.
  2. If overwrites is [], the new channel inherits the parent's permissions.
  3. If you supply one or more overwrites, the channel will be created with those permissions and ignore the parents.
