Voice and Radio System in FiveM

Voice communication What is good is what separates professional Roleplay servers from general servers.

pma-voice Overview

pma-voice is a proximity voice chat system that:

• Proximity-based — Hear only those nearby.
• Multiple channels — radio channels supported
• Low latency — uses WebRTC
• Easy integration — Works well with ESX.

Config pma-voice

Config = {
    VoiceRanges = {
        [1] = { range = 1.5, label = "Whisper" },
        [2] = { range = 10.0, label = "Normal" },
        [3] = { range = 20.0, label = "Shout" }
    },
    DefaultRange = 2,
    RadioFrequency = "111",
}

M2.VoiceRange Integration

Config.TOKEN = "YOUR_LICENSE_TOKEN"
Config.Keybind = "CAPS"

Config.Ranges = {
    { range = 1.5, label = "whisper" },
    { range = 10.0, label = "normal" },
    { range = 20.0, label = "shout" }
}

-- cycle voice range
RegisterKeyMapping('cycleVoice', 'Cycle Voice Range', 'keyboard', 'CAPS')
RegisterCommand('cycleVoice', function()
    local currentRange = exports['pma-voice']:getVoiceRange()
    local nextRange = (currentRange % #Config.Ranges) + 1
    exports['pma-voice']:setVoiceRange(Config.Ranges[nextRange].range)
    exports['M2.Notify']:Notify('info', 'Voice: ' .. Config.Ranges[nextRange].label, 2000)
end, false)

Radio System

-- Enter/exit radio channel
RegisterNetEvent('radio:join')
AddEventHandler('radio:join', function(frequency)
    exports['pma-voice']:addPlayerToChannel(source, tonumber(frequency))
end)

RegisterNetEvent('radio:leave')
AddEventHandler('radio:leave', function(frequency)
    exports['pma-voice']:removePlayerFromChannel(source, tonumber(frequency))
end)

Tips for RP Server

1. Default range = Normal (10 meters) suitable for general conversation.
2. Shout no more than 30 meters Prevents immersion break
3. Separate radio frequency according to faction
4. Add animation while speaking through the radio

Summary

pma-voice + M2.VoiceRange provides both functionality and good UI, resulting in a more realistic RP experience for players.
