I am trying to write a mand that will let a user create a role. So far I've gotten this:

if (msg.content == '-create')
{
    msg.guild.createRole({name:"new role", color: "00FFFF", mentionable: false});
}

I am trying to have it so it gives the role the admin perm. This is of course assuming that the bot also has admin perm.

Assuming that you want to create a role with an admin perm, I suggest you consult the discord.js docs.

When you go to create a role, a RoleData object is required. You already have that, but you will need to add in an array with the permissions you want with the key permissions.

In that array all the permissions for the role must be listed. A list of all the permission flags is here.

So, for example if I wanted to create a role with the ability to mention everyone (assuming people are not given that permission by default), I would use: <Message>.guild.createRole( {name:"Mentioners", color: "#ff0000", permissions:["MENTION_EVERYONE"] } );

I hope this helped you with your problem!
