Try:

Code: [Select]

[west,"HQ"] sideChat "move to position";
The sides are internally, west, east, civilian, etc, regardless of what you see as screen descriptions of those sides.

Hmm. Well further to your original query, for voice and text you need to use radioChat rather than sideChat (the latter is always just text). radioChat plays a sound and plays a set string. sideChat (and similar commands) allow you to write any text you want without it havein to be pre-prepared. There are several tutorials on this if you search around in the Editors Depot a bit.

Something that might be stopping you using chat commands (HQ or otherwise) is that they are only displayed when you are in MP mode (i.e. not in SP or SP editor). You also only get HQ chat messages for east/west, not for the other two sides.
