Enable & Disable Radio messages
« on: 23 Jul 2004, 08:54:58 »
Hello,

When creating a radio message using a trigger, the option will be available in the player's menu from the begining of the mission. How can I script this radio message to be activated at a later stage, ie after an event?

You can use the setradiomsg command.

Quote
index setRadioMsg text
Operand types:
    index: Number
    text: String
Type of returned value:
    Nothing
Description:
    Set radio message (0, 0, map radio) to given text. Use "NULL" to disable radio slot.

Example:
    0 setRadioMsg "Alpha Radio"

So,
0 setradiomsg "null"
would 'hide' alpha radio from the menu and
0 setradiomsg "bomb their asses"
would bring the alpha slot back in use
Not all is lost.

Unfortunatelly it doesn't work like this.

I've tried the following:

A. Set the radio message trigger (Radio Alpha) and 0 setRadioMsg "null" in the init.

B. Set the radio message trigger (Radio Alpha) and 0 setRadioMsg "null" in another trigger activated by anybody.

C. Set the radio message trigger (Radio Alpha) and 0 setRadioMsg "null" in a script activated by an anybody trigger 8 sec after mission start.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but it doesn't want to work!  ???
