Information

GuildVoiceChannels now inherit the TextChannel class. This means any property or method that is part of the TextChannel class is now part of GuildVoiceChannels. For example, you can now use methods like :send() on voice channel objects.

Additions

The GuildVoiceChannel class has a new property textEnabled This property will be either true or false if text chat is enabled in this voice channel.

Example

client:on('messageCreate', function(message)
    if message.content == '!test' then
        local voiceChannel = message.guild.voiceChannels:find(function(channel)
            return channel.name == 'General'
        end)
        if voiceChannel.textEnabled then
            voiceChannel:send('working!')
        end
    end
    if message.content == '!pin' then
        -- channel type of 2 represents a voice channel
        local canPin = message.channel.type ~= 2
        if canPin then
            message:pin()
            message:reply('pinned!')
        else
            message:reply('You cannot pin messages in voice channels :(')
        end
    end
end)

Note

While these new text chats in voice channels are very similar to actual text channels, it is important to note that they are not 1:1. For instance, these new text channels do not support pinned messages so the getPinnedMessages method has been omitted from the GuildVoiceChannel class. Also attempting to call message:pin() on a message sent in one of these channels will guarantee an error.
