Creating temporary channels about mumo HOT 7 CLOSED

Does it work when you create the channel first and then set the .temporary flag of the existing channel to true?

from mumo.

It does not, I tried the following:

cid = server.addChannel("test", 0)
state = server.getChannelState(cid)
state.temporary = True
server.setChannelState(state)

If I print the state after setting temporary to true, it shows the variable is set correctly, but if I fetch the channel state after setChannelState, it is back to false. It seems as if the temporary flag is not applied in setChannelState.

That's how I would expect it to work.

Is the Make temporary permission denied via ACL in that parent channel?

from mumo.

I guess this doesn't make much sense.

Temporary channels disappear when the last user leaves. So you can't make a channel temporary when no user is inside it.

I haven't gotten around to creating any permissions yet, so all permissions are default. I can manually create a temporary channel with no issues.

The idea at least is to create a temporary channel and automatically move a user to said channel based on context from a client plugin. I guess I could attempt to create the channel, move the user to the channel, then set the temporary context. I'll see if this works and report back.

Yeah, that doesn't work either. Seems like setChannelState just ignores the temporary variable.

        # set the states' channel ID to the new ID and update the player, to move them to the new channel
        pstate.channel = cid
        server.setState(pstate)
        
        # now that the users' state is set, we want to see if the channels' parent is the dungeon category
        # if it is, and the channels' state is not temporary, set it as temporary
        cstate = server.getChannelState(cid)
        if(cstate.parent == self.worldChannelStore.get(-2)):
            if(cstate.temporary == False):
                cstate.temporary = True
                server.setChannelState(cstate)

So this would be something for the Mumble Server to implement, not Mumo.

The Mumble client does not have a "Temporary" checkbox in the edit channel dialog. It only has it in the "Add Channel" dialog. So the Mumble Client UI is consistent to the behavior we see.

Do you have a clear, viable approach how it would make sense? I guess it would be Enable being able to change a channel to be temporary?
If you want, you can check for and create a feature request in the Mumble repository.

I will at least add a note to the slice source.
