Title: Papa_Bear
Post by: Dirtman on 27 Aug 2002, 03:16:33
Is Papa_Bear all there is.  I caught a quick look at a post about a few other titles that could be used (Airbase was one), but I used search on a few sites and cant find it now.  Does anyone have any ideas or know the answer.  And how would you put it in the code line to use it.

I know that there're also "HQ", "Base" and "Airbase"...don't know if Resistance has brought something new.

well if your talking about the base name then your right but if you are talking about units

this setgroupid["alpha","groupcolor2"]          -Changes name

Valid colors, 0-7
Valid names,Alpha/ Bravo /Charlie /Delta /Echo /Foxtrot /Golf /Hotel /Kilo /November /Yankee /Zulu /Buffalo /Convoy /Guardian

Hey there Dirtman!  I believe, for some reason, that if you have Res, it replaces HQ with PAPA_BEAR without your asking it to!!    :o    Isn't that like...rape or something?  I feel so used...    ::)

Anyways...  Hope that sheds some light on the situation.. I think it sucks.    :-\

Ya can still make ol' PapaRoach do some sidechatting  :o :D

Put this in an INIT-trigger (a trigg that'll fire right from start of mission) :

Papabear = [West, "HQ"]

And in a WP or in some other trigger, just put :

PapaBear sidechat "Riecheggia così spontaneamente...blah-blah"  ;D

This would work and PAPA_BEAR would do the sayings.

Now, if ya tried to replace "PapaBear" with "HomeBase", the game would still say :

Papa_Bear:  "Riecheggia così spontaneamente...blah-blah"  ::)

in the chat text  :P

So I'm not really sure if its poss. to  make custom names for HQ or Papabear  :-\

So... If I'm not mistaken, he knows how to make it say Papa_Bear..   ;)  Too bad it doesn't work and let you change it to whatever you want!  Would add some more originality to it all...    :-\   :'(

 ;)    ;D  

P.S.  I want some Tuborg!!    ::)  I'll mail myself over there soon..   ;D

:toocool:

Call me pedantic but you said

But showed a picture of smileys with beer. Surely a "brew" involves tea. Or am I missing something here?

well, beer is 'brewed' in a brewery, therefore could be classed as a 'brew'
anyway, mayb if we all flame nada theyll implement something in a new patch that will let you choose the names...

we can only hope...

OK, I just tested these in Res.  This is what I got:

[west,"HQ"] sidechat "Hello!"

PAPPA_BEAR: "Hello!"

[west,"BASE"] sidechat "Hello!"

PAPPA_BEAR: "Hello!"

[West,"AIRBASE"] sidechat "Hello!"

BASE FIREFLY: "Hello!'

These worked like this both in triggers and on WPs.
