Description

Description:

Returns channel number for given player, provided that player is speaking, otherwise -1. Having mic on is not enough, player has to make sound. There are several limitations to this command:

• It does not work on dedicated server, the return is always -1, only client can detect other client talking.
• It does not detect when someone talks on direct chat at all anywhere.

In short, this command mimics the speaking icon from the UI. Correspondence between channel and number:

• 0 = Global
• 1 = Side
• 2 = Command
• 3 = Group
• 4 = Vehicle
• 5 = Direct (Is not detected by getPlayerChannel)
• 6+ = Custom Radio
