Channels

Channels allow a player to communicate with a specific group of other players only, or to listen to only specific messages.

Channels have many properties associated with them to differentiate them. You can find a description for them in the tooltip on Unity. We only describe some important properties of channel in the following.

Distance based channels

When entering messages in some channels such as "shouts" or "whispers", only player in a given radius receive those messages.

Headset required

Some channels such as engineer, science, medical, all require to wear specific headset to emit and listen to messages coming on them.

Role required

Some channels ask for some specific rights, such as admins right, to be used. This is necessary so only admins can use channels sending visible messages to everyone.
