Description

Description:

Enables/disables UI functionality which is responsible for sending text or voice chat to the given chat channel. If the channel was disabled in Description.ext, it can be enabled with this command, however the UI functionality changes will be local to the PC executing this command.

⚠

Only the Alternative Syntax can affect Custom Radio channels (6-15).

ⓘ

This command:

• cannot disable Global channel for the admin, because Global channel is always available for the admin
• does not disable incoming text or voice
• does not interrupt own client's transmission in progress (but will prevent any further ones)
• does not affect chat related scripting commands such as vehicleChat, globalRadio etc.

Channel / Number correspondence:

• 0 = Global
• 1 = Side
• 2 = Command
• 3 = Group (cannot be disabled with enableChannel nor Description.ext/disableChannels[])
• 4 = Vehicle
• 5 = Direct
• 6-15 = Custom Radio
