GmodRP - Radio Voice Communication help

[Diet Taco]

I was wondering if there is a way to actually use a radio broadcast system (like in GmodRP) but instead of it only playing soundfiles, make it actually create a voice system so that when you (the broadcaster) use your microphone it will be played to the people connected to your radio channel. I don't know if this is possible or not, but it would be amazing for things like rebel communication and what not (especially when there is a voice radius within the server.) ... If it is possible at all I'm assuming that it would do something along the lines of:
Using the radio channel system like in GmodRP. And making a voice radius of the broadcaster to infinite range, but it would only be heard by those who are connected to his channel via radio. Maybe in order to hear the broadcaster the player would have to be near the radio entity itself. And the only way the broadcaster can emit his voice into the radios would be by sitting in a chair or something... None the less I don't know how to do this and I'm requesting help!

[QUOTE=Diet Taco]be near the radio entity[/QUOTE]

... You want an entity, which streams voice-communication to players on the same team?
Dont think it's possible :/

If he just creates some variables for the players in the server who are on the channel x he can easily do it.

Take a look at the Chat Radius addon made by Sam V522:
[lua]VoiceRadiusConVar = CreateClientConVar( "max_vc_radius", 512, true, false );
local VC_Max_Radius = VoiceRadiusConVar:GetInt();

function ChatRadius()
EntsInRange = ents.FindInSphere() LocalPlayer:GetPos(), VC_Max_Radius )
for i = 0,#EntsInRange do
if EntsInRange[i]:GetClass() == "Player" then
if EntsInRange[i].IsMuted() then
EntsInRange[i]:SetMuted()
end
EntsInRange[i].InVCRadius = true
end
end
for i = 0,#player.GetAll() do
if player.GetByID(i).InVCRadius then
if player.GetByID(i).IsMuted() then
// Do nothing, because the player is already muted, DUH.
else
player.GetByID(i):SetMuted()
end
end
end
end
timer.Create( "VoiceChatRadius", 1.0, 0, ChatRadius)[/lua]

It seems the 2 primary things you want to look at are:

Here's the basic idea how to do it.
[lua]hook.Add("PlayerCanHearPlayersVoice", "InsertNameHere", function( pListener, pTalker )
for k,v in pairs( ents.FindInSphere( pTalker:GetPos(), 128 ) ) do
if v:GetClass() == "sent_radio" and pListener.RadioChannel == pTalker.RadioChannel then
return true
end
end
return false
end )
[/lua]

Oh snap, I never knew there was such a hook. However, yours is Serverside my idea is Clientside.

[pollyzoid]

Clientside also means bypassable :v:

Wow, both very astonishing codes that I have never seen before. And I do believe they would work, problem is I now have to implement it within the gamemode that I'm using (Gmod RP - SVN Ver.) I'm assuming that it would have to be tied into the radiosystem.lua ... Though the first problem I see is that in the system I have (already set up) the broadcaster can name their channel whatever they want, so the code would have to recognize the channel name and who the owner of it is. Then after it recognizes that, I would need to set it up that everyone in radius of the radio entity would be able to hear the broadcaster's voice... Also the other problem, or bonus possibly, would be that the broadcaster can play .mp3's that emit from the radio entity. So this might make things a bit more complicated, but lets say I were to create a tab in the already existing radio station entity, that made it so that the broadcaster could choose when to Emit his voice, and when to just play mp3's... So What I have to work with is:

First I was curious about the init.lua within the gamemode. (This is not the entire init.lua it is actually from line 436-end)

function GM:PlayerCanHearPlayersVoice( l, t )

	for k, v in pairs( ents.FindInSphere( t:GetPos(), Configuration["talkrange"] ) ) do
	
		if v == l then
		
			return true
			
		end

	end
	
	return false
	
end


function GM:EntityRemoved( ent )

	GMRP.DeleteRadiostation( ent )
	
end	

Then I was also curious on how I could implement raBBish's code into this so that it would work. One file that I think may be very important is the radiosystem.lua that is within the gamemode (sorry for the length):

Radio = {}

function Radio.RadioAllowed( ent )

	if !ent:IsValid() then return false end
	
	if ent.ID == "radio" then
	
		return true
		
	end
	
	return false
	
end	


function Radio.RadioStationAllowed( ent )

	if !ent:IsValid() then return false end
	
	if ent.ID != "radiostation" then return false end
	
	return true
	
end	


function Radio.PlaySound( ent, sound )

	ent.TheSound = CreateSound( ent, sound )
	ent.TheSound:Play()
	
end	
	

function Radio.StopSound( ent )

	if ent.TheSound != nil then
	
		ent.TheSound:Stop()
		ent.TheSound = nil
		
	end
	
end		


function Radio.CPStopSound( p )

	local trace = {}
	trace.start = p:EyePos()
	trace.endpos = trace.start + p:GetAimVector() * 85
	trace.filter = p
	local tr = util.TraceLine(trace)	
	
	if !Radio.RadioStationAllowed( tr.Entity ) then return end
	
	for k, v in pairs(ents.GetAll()) do
	
		if tr.Entity.RadioStationName == v.RadioStation then
	
			if v.TheSound != nil then
			
				Radio.StopSound( v )
				
			end
			
		end	
		
	end

end

GMRP.command ( "radiostation_stop", Radio.CPStopSound )	


function Radio.ChooseType( name, p )

	if !p:isJob( "Radio Broadcaster" ) then
	
		return tostring( name ).."_pirate"
		
	end	
	
	return tostring( name )

end	


function Radio.CreateRadiostation( p, c ,a )


	local trace = {}
	trace.start = p:EyePos()
	trace.endpos = trace.start + p:GetAimVector() * 85
	trace.filter = p
	local tr = util.TraceLine(trace)

	local ImplArgs = tostring( string.Implode( " ", a ) )
	
	if tostring( ImplArgs ) == nil then return end
	
	if string.find( ImplArgs, "'" ) then
	
		ImplArgs = string.gsub( ImplArgs, "'", "" )
		
	end	
	
	if table.HasValue(	Radiostations, tostring( ImpArgs ) ) then
	
		p:RedNotify("This radiostation already exists.")
		
		return 
		
	end
	
	if !tr.Entity.ChangedChanel then
	
		if Radio.RadioStationAllowed( tr.Entity ) then
	
			table.insert( Radiostations, Radio.ChooseType( tostring( ImplArgs ), p ) )	
			RunLuaAll( "table.insert( Radiostations, '"..Radio.ChooseType( tostring( ImplArgs ), p ).."' )")
			tr.Entity.RadioStationName = Radio.ChooseType( tostring( ImplArgs ), p )
			tr.Entity.ChangedChanel = true	
		
		end

end

	if tr.Entity.ID == "radio" then
	
		if table.HasValue( Radiostations, tostring( ImplArgs ) ) then
		
			Radio.StopSound( tr.Entity )
		
			tr.Entity.RadioStation = tostring( ImplArgs )
			tr.Entity:EmitSound( "ambient/levels/prison/radio_random"..math.random( 2, 9 )..".wav" )
			tr.Entity:SetNWString( "radiostation", tostring( ImplArgs ) )
			
		end	
		
	end	

end

	local Constrained = constraint.GetAllConstrainedEntities( ent )
	
	if ent.IDs != nil then

	ent.IDs = {}
	
	for _, v in pairs( Constrained ) do

			table.insert( ent.IDs, v.ID ) --insert the ent.ID's
			
		end
		
	end

	if table.HasValue( ent.IDs, "antenna" ) then

	return false

			else
			
				Radio.PlaySound( v, tostring( ImplArgs ) )

	end

end	

GMRP.command( "radiostation_sound", Radio.TransmitSound)


function GMRP.DeleteRadiostation( ent )


	if ent.RadioStationName != nil then
	
		for k, v in pairs( Radiostations ) do
		
			if v == ent.RadioStationName then
			
				table.remove( Radiostations, k )				
				RunLuaAll( "table.remove( Radiostations, "..k..")" )
				
			end
			
		end
		
	end	
				
end

Also there is no file within the gamemode that initiates hooks... Or atleast I haven't seen any... Is this a problem??? (PS: If you want to just look at the gamemode itself, which might help give you guys a better picture as of to what we are dealing with here, just go here: [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=746852"]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=746852[/URL] Specifically I am using the SVN: [url]http://gmodrp.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/[/url]
