If you mean where you can type, use sidechat, groupchat, globalchat, and vehiclechat. Use them like so:

Code: [Select]

aP sidechat "Text"(aP is the name of the person, and text is what you want displayed, but must be in ""s)

Also, you may want to be using papabear. In which case, dont use a name, but instead use any of the following:
[West,"PAPA_BEAR"]
[East,"PAPA_BEAR"]
[Resistance,"PAPA_BEAR"] (I'm not sure if it's res or resistance.)

Eg.

Code: [Select]

[West,"PAPA_BEAR"] sidechat "report status. over."
~5
myplayer sidechat "I'm fine, but a little shaken up"

You can use it in either a script or a trigger's on activation. If you use the trigger activation then you can't use a "~5", and if you put multiple lines then they would appear at the same time.
