Question Adding non positional and positional to the same channel

Hello!

You should be able to use multi-channel functionality to get this to work!

If you follow these steps, I believe this would follow along with your needs:

Let's say April and Leo are in a 3D channel, and you would like Donnie to be able to speak to them through the one way 2D walkie talkie channel.

Step 1: Have April and Leo join the 3D channel, and make sure they transmit to this channel.

• If using Vivox with the Unity Engine or Unreal Engine:
  • Set 3rd parameter in BeginConnect to true when joining the channel
• If using Vivox with any other engines (Core):
  • Call the vx_req_sessiongroup_set_tx_session request and assign it the 3D channel. To learn more read the following documentation.

Step 2: Have April and Leo join the 2D channel, but have them join without transmitting. To do so, follow the code below:

• If using Vivox with the Unity Engine or Unreal Engine:
  • Set 3rd parameter in BeginConnect to false when joining the channel
• If using Vivox with any other engines (Core):
  • Call the vx_req_sessiongroup_set_tx_no_session request. To learn more read the following documentation

Step 3a: (Optional) If you would like Donnie to also be able to speak and hear in the 3D channel as well, have him join that channel, but ensure you set his transmission to all. This will allow him to speak into the 2D and 3D channels simultaneously. To do so, logging Donnie intro Vivox services and joining him to the 3D channel, follow the code below:

• If using Vivox with the Unity Engine:
  • Set Transmission Mode to All as seen in the following documentation.
• If using Vivox with the Unreal Engine:
  • Set Transmission Mode to All as seen in the following documentation.
• If using Vivox with any other engines (Core):
  • Call the vx_req_sessiongroup_set_tx_all_sessions request. To learn more read the following documentation.

Step 3b: When joining the Donnie to the 3D channel, ensure he joins without changing his transmission settings. To do so, follow the code below:

• If using Vivox with the Unity Engine or Unreal Engine:
  • Set 3rd parameter in BeginConnect to false when joining the channel
• If using Vivox with any other engines (Core):
  • Call the vx_req_sessiongroup_set_tx_no_session request. To learn more read the following documentation

Step 4: Have Donnie join the 2D channel, but have him join without changing his transmission settings. To do so, follow the code below:

• If using Vivox with the Unity Engine or Unreal Engine:
  • Set 3rd parameter in BeginConnect to false when joining the channel
• If using Vivox with any other engines (Core):
  • Call the vx_req_sessiongroup_set_tx_no_session request. To learn more read the following documentation

By completely these steps, Donnie will be able to talk into the 2D channel, and April and Leo will be able to hear him. However, Donnie will not hear them speak back in the 2D Channel. April and Leo will also be able to speak to each other as normal in the 3D channel.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or if this method does not work for you. Thanks for your time!

 

Hi @Chen5464,

I have two recommendations for you here.

1. When joining a positional and non-positional channel simultaneously, you should always join the positional channel first. As seen in our documentation here.
2. Be sure that you are setting your TransmissionMode to All when logging in AND ensuring switchTransmission is false when connecting to the channels.

Let us know if you continue to see issues or if this works for you!

Hello! You should just need to set TransmissionMode to All on Donnie. April and Leo should just transmit to the 3D channel.

Feel free to post a copy of your code and we'd be happy to review it!

Also I have edited my original post above to include the recommendation above Kip found. That was a mistake on my part you should always join the 3D channel first when using Vivox. If you'd like to follow the new steps above you may have more luck! Sorry again for the confusion on my part!
