createChannel and joinChannel difference

[bariscigal]

Hi again,

Can i learn what is the difference between :
TNManager.CreateChannel() and the JoinChannel counterpart.

They seem to be doing the same thing.
What i am after is create a channel by the server instance starter but not join yet.
When some player joins to server join  the channel in sync.
And if the channel is not created a message would help me if no channel is active yet.

Also is there a way to assign a channel id while creating one?

JoinChannel takes a specific channel ID. CreateChannel doesn't. You can't create a channel and not join it. You can however create a channel with a player limit of 1, meaning no one can join besides you. When ready, you can change this limit to let others join.

Hi Michael
How do i join a channel created with createChannel given that i don't know the ID?
I tried by just creating again from other users and thought maybe if existing already would just put me in but it doesn't.
thanks

Found.

JoinRandomChannel specifying a password will join a channel created with the same password.

Not entirely obvious but eventually intuitive
