Nice code, help me so much. Thanks!
EDIT: But can i add an CheckFailure error to a one command? If i do this that command stops working.

Maybe you can add a decorator called @commands.is_owner() if you don't have a cog_check in this cog.
The error of @commands.is_owner() is called NotOwner. If you have cog_check in this cog, then it will just be CheckFailure.
And you have to put NotOwner before CheckFailure.
Or you can make an independent error for only one command in the same cog.
@yourcommandname.error
async def yourcommandname_error(self,ctx,error):
if isinstance(error, commands.errors.CheckFailure):
await ctx.send('blahblahblah')
return

How do i detect the error of the @commands.has_role() check?

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    elif isinstance(error, (commands.MissingRole, commands.MissingAnyRole)):
      await ctx.send("You dont have the exact role to use this command")
