Join to Create Master Tutorial
A heavy breakdown on the JTC Plugin (lots of scrolling here, check the sidebar!)
This configuration takes place in the /configuration/join_to_create.json file!
You might need Discord Developer Mode on to get ID's and such!
Key words:
Boolean: A true or false switch
String: An assortment of "text" or "numbers" like this
Numbers: Just numbers!
Array: Strings or Numbers["in", "a", "pattern", "like", "this"]
Welcome!
Here we'll go over the Join to Create Plugin setup in its entirety, with brief (or not so brief!) explanations and descriptions on things.
I made sure to separate everything the best possible so that the sidebar has a quick reference to what you're looking for.
Feedback is welcome!
If you think something is missing, or needs a bit more work, then make sure to leave us a note at our support server!
JTC Channel Creation Tutorial
An imaginary example will be used, that way it's easier to follow along!
All IDs, Channels, and Config names are imaginary.
Let's go through the process of creating two JTC voice channels, one for Rainbow Six and the other for Overwatch 2!
Select an Origin Channel
First of all, we wanna set a voice channel where the JTC voice channels will be created from! This can be anything you want it to be, since it's a String, but since it's a Discord ID, it should just be numbers. We want two different origin channels so we can create the categories separately from each other! R6's will be 1234567890 (shown) and OW2's will be 0987654321 (assumed).
Select a Destination Category
Then we add the category ID of where we want the Temp Voice Channel to go to, the origin channel's category and the destination category category IDs don't have to be the same! In this case, we can just make the game channels in the same Gaming category, so the IDs can stay the same. Our Gaming category is 123123123.
Set a Settings ID
So the Join to Create plugin knows what to create, you have to assign it a Settings ID. Each Join to Create channel will have its own configuration in terms of what it's named, how many people can join it, etc. In this situation, we're making our R6 settings ID, but we can rename it to whatever we want to! OW2 will follow the same concept (we can assume that one will be called overwatch_two). But we'll get to that, for now, it should look like this:
You set up your first Join to Create channel, and any further Join to Create channels can be created the same way. Once you get used to how the system works, your file can be even made smaller without the comments attached to each category! But overall, your config should look something like the below example. Once you get used to how it's formatted, you'll be able to make the new categories without all the comments in between. We've still got some work to do though!
JTC Settings Tutorial
What's this for?
This is an assortment of configurations for a specific Join to Create system to work with. Let's say you wanted to make a set of settings for, let's say, a Rainbow Six Siege Temp Channel, and another one for Overwatch 2, you can do that, which we started last section!
Where do I start?
IDs cannot have spaces! This will break the plugin!
Please use _ instead of spaces: eg. "settings_id" instead of "Settings ID"
If you noticed, we went over that section called Settings ID. This is what will let us separate one kind of channel from another, so let's take advantage of that fact!
How do I configure them?
So far, with the addition of our Overwatch 2 channel, our config should look like this! After this point, we're going to delve into actually customizing the channels and how they behave.
For the sake of time, I'll only be doing our R6 channel, we can assume we're working on the OW2 channel afterwards.
We can get started by naming the channel that gets created by this config:
If we wanted to only allow 5 people in both channels, which is the normal team size for R6 and OW2, we can do that by editing the User Limit Number:
If we wanted to control who went into the channel at any given time, we can lock the channel so no one else can join unprompted, let's say, you wanted to create a ranked channel:
Maybe we don't want people to see both channels either, well we can configure that! Let's just make it hidden from people:
Perhaps we want people with just a verified role to be able to see the channel by default, we can set it up by using a verified role and adding it to the config file:
And last but not least, maybe we don't want specific roles joining the channel at all, we can set that up here too:
And presto! We got our two Temp Voice channels, fully set up how we wanted it, and to make the Overwatch 2 channel, we can just copy the same details and make minor alterations. But for now, this is what our completed configuration looks like!
You're all done here! Now you can move onto other plugins and see how they work!
