You need to know what that _West variable stands for.

Can you post the whole script?

If you are new to scripts then, before going any futher, go to the Editors Depot and read snYpir's A Friendly Intro to Code Snippets and also Johan Gustafsson's Scripting Tutorial.

Put this in the init-field of the unit:

Code: [Select]

this addAction ["Shout for help", "shout.sqs"]
then create a file named shout.sqs in your mission folder and put this in it:

Code: [Select]

_this select 1 GlobalChat "Police..police..I need help tying my shoelaces..anyone?"
