As far as I can tell this is okay.

If unitname and the Player are on the same side then your code should result in a green message box appearing on the left of the player's screen with free marthain it.  If you actually want sounds then more needs to be done than this.

groupChat = green radio text displayed if your in the same group as unit.
sideChat = blue text if ur in same side.
vehicleChat = yellow text if ur in same vehicle.
globalChat = white text for everyone!

enableRadio true = turn on radio
enableRadio false = turn off radio

Opps go my colours wrong
In my experience enableRadio does not seem to effect the sidechat instruction

Hmm, could it be that the unit your calling to give the sidechat doesn't exist or is dead?

Cause if the guy dies, then the radio message won't go through, or if the unit and the command don't match in names. :P

Or is this solved, I don't know... ??? :)
