Radios

[Agent Fire]

How do I write in text from the radio? I'm sick of using that stupid white text on

trigger/waypoint>Effects>Type>Text

And I want some proper orders from your officer.

lol you sound like somebody having a bad day.

Head over to the Command ref in the Ed depot and investigate the mysteries of commands like

sideChat
groupChat
vehicleChat

as in

loon1 sideChat "Hurray, this is a radio message!"

If you un-pbo almost any mission you can find out that sort of thing .... this kind of text often goes in triggers.   (Obviously it works in scripts and waypoints too.)

[Knut Erik]

Eeeeeasy!  ;D ;D

Just write this in the triggers activation field...

NameOfUnit sidechat\globalchat\groupchat\vehiclechat "TheText"

Globalchat is vissible to all sides.
Sidechat is vissible to all units on a side.
Groupchat is vissible only to the group members.
Vehiclechat is vissible only to the units in a vehicle.

Hello

This will make the text color blue in the radio command on the botton left of your screen.

EX:  Chopper is going down

Open the Mission and name the person that you want to talk (Ex: c1).
In the INI Field of that person put this: [] exec "text.sqs"
If you want the person to say what ever you want to say at a certen time you would make a trigger and put it where ever you want the person to say it and put this in the On Activation Field: [] exec "text.sqs"

Make a New Text Document and open it.
Copy and Paste this text into the Document.
Save it as text.sqs

c1 sidechat "We've been hit!"
~5
c1 sidechat "Brace for impact!"
~10
c1 sidechat "Blackhawk 6 is going down!"
~15

exit

c1 = Name of person thats going to say it...
~5 = The time between the next call from the one before it...
sidechat = What kind of chat you want the person to say it in...
                 Other Chats:
sidechat
globalchat
teamchat*

*i think... also there are more, like when you change from side chat to golbal in MP, they are all the chats.

Hope this helps you...  

Bye

Its the same as Knut Erik Said:

Eeeeeasy!

Just write this in the triggers activation field...  ;D ;D
