Identities

[Sol Fire]

Hello once again i grace you with one of my questions that need answering!

ok here is my problem

i currently have a few groups designated Bravo, Charlie, Delta but when i use the "bravo1 sidechat "blah blah" " it calls him Delta and i know why.. i have a m113 that calls itself Bravo but i dont want to make him part of Alpha because he joins Alpha later in the mission so i need to know how to change the Identities of those groups!

Thanks ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[Sol Fire]

lol Sol Fire, I've never seen a thread with 4 posts by the same person before .... I think you should wait longer than two hours before posting a "wot, no help?" message, sometimes it takes a couple of days before the right person sees your question.

Anyway, I quote from the online command ref.   Put it in the init field of the group leader

this setGroupId ["Alpha", "GroupColor0"]

0 gives no colour, 1 - 7 you will discover by trial and error unless its in the FAQ.   If you find out please post a Comment in the online ref as to what number gives what colour.

group setGroupId id

Operand types:

Additional values for letter are:

"Yankee", "Zulu", "Buffalo", "Convoy", "Guardian" "Two", "Three"

Color can also be set to "Six".

You can also set the values to "November"

-----------------

name = group this

is, as you have discovered, for a totally different purpose.    That gives the group a name for you to use in commands.     setGroupId only decides what appears in the radio messages.
