setCheck
```
@Nonnull
ChannelAction<T> setCheck(@Nullable
                          BooleanSupplier checks)
```
Description copied from interface: AuditableRestAction

Sets the last-second checks before finally executing the http request in the queue.
If the provided supplier evaluates to false or throws an exception this will not be finished. When an exception is thrown from the supplier it will be provided to the failure callback.

Specified by:

setCheck in interface AuditableRestAction<T extends GuildChannel>

Specified by:

setCheck in interface RestAction<T extends GuildChannel>

Parameters:

checks - The checks to run before executing the request, or null to run no checks

Returns:

The current RestAction for chaining convenience

See Also:

RestAction.getCheck(), RestAction.addCheck(BooleanSupplier)

timeout
```
@Nonnull
ChannelAction<T> timeout(long timeout,
                         @Nonnull
                         TimeUnit unit)
```
Description copied from interface: AuditableRestAction
Timeout for this RestAction instance.
If the request doesn't get executed within the timeout it will fail.
When a RestAction times out, it will fail with a TimeoutException. This is the same as deadline(System.currentTimeMillis() + unit.toMillis(timeout)).
Example
```
 action.timeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS) // 10 seconds from now
       .queueAfter(20, SECONDS); // request will not be executed within deadline and timeout immediately after 20 seconds
 
```
Specified by:

timeout in interface AuditableRestAction<T extends GuildChannel>

Specified by:

timeout in interface RestAction<T extends GuildChannel>

Parameters:

timeout - The timeout to use

unit - Unit for the timeout value

Returns:

The same RestAction instance with the applied timeout

See Also:

RestAction.setDefaultTimeout(long, TimeUnit)

deadline
```
@Nonnull
ChannelAction<T> deadline(long timestamp)
```
Description copied from interface: AuditableRestAction
Similar to RestAction.timeout(long, TimeUnit) but schedules a deadline at which the request has to be completed.
If the deadline is reached, the request will fail with a TimeoutException.
This does not mean that the request will immediately timeout when the deadline is reached. JDA will check the deadline right before executing the request or within intervals in a worker thread. This only means the request will timeout if the deadline has passed.
Example
```
 action.deadline(System.currentTimeMillis() + 10000) // 10 seconds from now
       .queueAfter(20, SECONDS); // request will not be executed within deadline and timeout immediately after 20 seconds
 
```
Specified by:

deadline in interface AuditableRestAction<T extends GuildChannel>

Specified by:

deadline in interface RestAction<T extends GuildChannel>

Parameters:

timestamp - Millisecond timestamp at which the request will timeout

Returns:

The same RestAction with the applied deadline

See Also:

RestAction.timeout(long, TimeUnit), RestAction.setDefaultTimeout(long, TimeUnit)

getGuild
```
@Nonnull
Guild getGuild()
```
The guild to create this GuildChannel in

Returns:

The guild

getType
```
@Nonnull
ChannelType getType()
```
The ChannelType for the resulting channel

Returns:

The channel type

setName
```
@Nonnull
@CheckReturnValue
ChannelAction<T> setName(@Nonnull
                         String name)
```
Sets the name for the new GuildChannel

Parameters:

name - The not-null name for the new GuildChannel (1-100 chars long)

Returns:

The current ChannelAction, for chaining convenience

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the provided name is null or not between 1-100 chars long

setType

@Nonnull
@CheckReturnValue
ChannelAction<T> setType(@Nonnull
                         ChannelType type)

Converts the channel to a different ChannelType.

This can only be done in the follow situations:

Javadoc is stupid, this is not a required tag
Current Channel Type		New Channel Type
`ChannelType.NEWS`	->	`ChannelType.TEXT`
`ChannelType.TEXT`	->	`ChannelType.NEWS`

Parameters:: type - The not-null ChannelType of the new channel
Returns:: The current ChannelAction, for chaining convenience
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - If channelType is not ChannelType.TEXT or ChannelType.NEWS; UnsupportedOperationException - If this ChannelAction is not for a TextChannel or NewsChannel; IllegalStateException - If channelType is ChannelType.NEWS and the guild doesn't have the NEWS feature in Guild.getFeatures().

setParent
```
@Nonnull
@CheckReturnValue
ChannelAction<T> setParent(@Nullable
                           Category category)
```
Sets the Category for the new GuildChannel. You can use syncPermissionOverrides() to sync the channel with the category.

Parameters:

category - The parent for the new GuildChannel

Returns:

The current ChannelAction, for chaining convenience

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - If this ChannelAction is for a Category

IllegalArgumentException - If the provided category is null or not from this Guild

See Also:

syncPermissionOverrides()

setPosition
```
@Nonnull
@CheckReturnValue
ChannelAction<T> setPosition(@Nullable
                             Integer position)
```
Sets the position where the new Channel should be inserted into. This refers to the raw position value, not the computed (relative) position.
By default (or by providing this method with null), the position will automatically be computed based on the other Channels (inserted last in its respective group).
Note: This does not shift the position values of existing Channels if the values collide.
As a reminder: The ordering of Channels is determined first by its Category's position, then by its raw position value and finally by its id (younger Channels are below older ones)

Parameters:

position - The raw position value that should be used for the new Channel

Returns:

The current ChannelAction, for chaining convenience

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the provided position value is <0

setTopic
```
@Nonnull
@CheckReturnValue
ChannelAction<T> setTopic(@Nullable
                          String topic)
```
Sets the topic for the new TextChannel

Parameters:

topic - The topic for the new GuildChannel (max 1024 chars)

Returns:

The current ChannelAction, for chaining convenience

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - If this ChannelAction is not for a TextChannel

IllegalArgumentException - If the provided topic is longer than 1024 chars

setNSFW
```
@Nonnull
@CheckReturnValue
ChannelAction<T> setNSFW(boolean nsfw)
```
Sets the NSFW flag for the new TextChannel

Parameters:

nsfw - The NSFW flag for the new GuildChannel

Returns:

The current ChannelAction, for chaining convenience

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - If this ChannelAction is not for a TextChannel

setSlowmode
```
@Nonnull
@CheckReturnValue
ChannelAction<T> setSlowmode(int slowmode)
```
Sets the slowmode value, which limits the amount of time that individual users must wait between sending messages in the new TextChannel. This is measured in seconds.
Note: Bots are unaffected by this.
Having MESSAGE_MANAGE or MANAGE_CHANNEL permission also grants immunity to slowmode.

Parameters:

slowmode - The number of seconds required to wait between sending messages in the channel.

Returns:

The current ChannelAction, for chaining convenience

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - If this ChannelAction is not for a TextChannel

IllegalArgumentException - If the slowmode is greater than TextChannel.MAX_SLOWMODE, or less than 0

Adds a new Role or Member PermissionOverride for the new GuildChannel.

If setting permission overwrites, only permissions your bot has in the guild can be allowed/denied.

Example:


 Role role = guild.getPublicRole();
 EnumSet<Permission> allow = EnumSet.of(Permission.VIEW_CHANNEL);
 EnumSet<Permission> deny = EnumSet.of(Permission.MESSAGE_SEND);
 channelAction.addPermissionOverride(role, allow, deny);

Parameters:: target - The not-null Role or Member for the override; allow - The granted Permissions for the override or null; deny - The denied Permissions for the override or null
Returns:: The current ChannelAction, for chaining convenience
