const Discord = require(‘discord.js’);
const ms = require(“ms”);

module.exports = {
name: “mute”,
description: “Mute people”,
execute: async(bot, message, args) => {
let toMute = message.guild.member(message.mentions.users.first() || message.guild.members.cache.get(args[0]));
if(!toMute) return message.reply(‘It looks like you didnt specify the user!’);
let muterole = message.guild.roles.cache.find(r => r.name === ‘Muted’);
if(!muterole){
try{
muterole = await message.guild.roles.create({
name: “Muted”,
color: “#000000”,
permissions:
})
message.guild.channels.cache.forEach(async (channel, id) => {
await channel.overwritePermission(muterole, {
SEND_MESSAGES: false,
ADD_REACTIONS: false
});
});
}catch(e){
console.log(e.stack);
}
} return message.channel.send(‘Cannot create role!’)

let mutetime = args[1];
if(!mutetime) return message.reply('You didnt specify the time');

await(toMute.addRole(muterole));
message.reply(`Successfully muted <@${toMute.id}> for ${ms(mutetime)}`);

setTimeout(function(){
  toMute.removeRole(muterole.id);
  message.channel.send(`<@${toMute.id}> has been unmuted!`);
}, ms(mutetime));

}
}

The error is that:
(node:10074) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: channel.overwritePermission is not a function

If channel.overwritePermission is not a function, go look at the discord.js docs and look at the functions available to channel.

It still does not work :frowning:

4

You need to use channel.overwritePermissions() instead of channel.overwritePermission().

5

Now it doesn’t even say something in console, it just does not create the role.

Your quotation marks aren’t quotation marks, they’re Unicode marks. “These aren’t” quotes - note how they are curly.
"These are" - these are straight
