Optional Client parameter for joinVoiceChannel()

[YetAnotherConnor]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There does not appear to be any way to specify a Client when using joinVoiceChannel. For processes with more than one Client, it is uncontrollable which Client joins the voice channel. In my testing, a Client consistently joins with the same code ran; however a different Client could join instead after changing code, even seemingly unrelated code.

Describe the ideal solution

• Allow an optional Client parameter:

  const connection = joinVoiceChannel({ ...options }, client );

Describe alternatives you've considered

• I have attempted to trace back from the initial joinVoiceChannel call to try and find how/where a client is found to no avail.
• I tested extending Client with a method which calls joinVoiceChannel using the guild object from the client's own cache, which had the same behavior as above.

  
  const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');
  const { joinVoiceChannel } = require("@discordjs/voice");

module.exports = class TestBot extends Client { constructor(config) { super({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_VOICE_STATES, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES, Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS], }); this.config = config; }

testBotJoinVoiceChannel(channelId, guildId) { const guild = this.guilds.cache.get(guildId); if (!guild) return null; let conn = joinVoiceChannel({ guildId, channelId, adapterCreator: guild.voiceAdapterCreator, }); return conn; } };

- I even tried using a different js library to control the bot connections, *which worked!* ...but since the connection objects between libraries are not compatible, it crashed soon after :(

**Additional context**
I am attempting to create a system of bots where one "controller" receives interaction events and multiple "player" bots that join voice channels playing music. Ideally this system would only require users to interact with the "controller," but as I am unable to control which client is joining it's a bit hard...
If someone who knows how/where a client is found when calling `joinVoiceChannel` I would love to know too!

I also had this question, however on further inspection i think this is how it works.

1. You need to specify the group id (set as client id so it doesn't overwrite other connection).
2. When you pass the adapterCreator pass it from the guild object, that is inside the client you want to connect.

      joinVoiceChannel({
        channelId: this.channel.id,
        guildId: this.channel.guild.id,
        group: this.channel.client.user.id,
        adapterCreator: this.channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator
      });

Ill test this theory shortly!

Yep, the answer given here is correct!
