Title: Radio sideChat
Post by: rhysduk on 11 Oct 2003, 20:46:35

Hi everyone !

I have an example mission for an upcoming artillery/support mission that requires radio sideChat for confirmation et cetera... The problem is that i cannot get it to show...

When i use unitname sideChat "message required" nothing happens   :(

BUT

when i use player sideChat "it works" the required message appears...

Does anyone know a solution to this ?

Sound and Radio in OFP is my greatest weakness in mission editing - i have read all the tuts available on teh subject and god-forbid i cannot get it to work...

Can anyone help ?

Thanks guys

Rhys

As silly as this may soundm you should start by checking that you have the right unitname. If you don't there will be no error message, but just simply the sidechat wont apear. Check, recheck and check again.

The syntax is right.

Well bugger me ...

I set up an example mission wiht 6 guys anmed man1 thru to man6... i pout 3 triggers -- 1 for man1, one for man2 and one for man3...

I set them up as when man 1 died... radio msg appears with man6 syaing that man1 has died...

Thr trouble is that i cannot get this to work in my artillery script... just need to look an dlook and look i guess..
