This comes up all the time, search the FAQ or the forum for Papa Bear or look at the Tutorial Mission in the Ed depot - Getting started.    Sorry I can't remember off the top of my head.

Edit - in Red Hammer the voice says Eagle but the callsign is written as PAPA_BEAR

try

loon = [East, "HQ"]

and make sure the player unit is east so you can see the sidechat

you can also just put [west,"HQ"] sidechat I think, no need to give it to a loon

What's wrong, in a probability, is that somewhere there is a tiny error that is preventing it from working.     You have the right command.   Only you can find the tiny error, since its in your mission  ;)

I suggest you download the Tutorial Mission from the Ed Depot, open it up in the Mission Editor and find the trigger that has this bit in it.   Its in Bj58 and is called "start text".   Cut and paste into your own mission.    Note that it is for west, so you will have be a west unit to see it work.

[west,"HQ"] sidechat "ALL UNITS, ENGAGE!"
