Set Chat Channel

Assigns a player to a specific local chat channel.

When a map's "Local Chat" option is enabled, this action forces a player into a named chat channel. Only players in the same channel will see each other's messages.

Configuration

  • Channel: The name of the channel (e.g., "red_team_chat", "spectators").
  • Target: The Player to assign to the channel.

Use Cases

  • Creating private team chats. Players on the "Red Team" are put in the "red" channel, and players on the "Blue Team" are put in the "blue" channel.
  • A spectator chat that is separate from the chat of living players.
