Radio Chat

[GrimMonkey]

Greetings Editors and Editorettes,

I just recently learned how to make radio chatter ;D ;D! and I'm really excited. Is there a way for the chatting to wait a couple of seconds before displaying the next radio call through the init. line?

I tried a method but it failed :'(.




Bow to your superior species.

There's in the trigger a "Countdown" place. Make sure it's pointed to that, no "timeout". On the rigth side you can see min max and mid boxes. Write on everyone of them the time in seconds you want it to wait. And this goes into the trigger where radio message is.
Like:        min 2  max 2  mid 2

If you have a outer file script in this mission and there are your radio messages; write there like ~2, or what you want it to wate. So this is beteween the radio messages.

But the two people speak on the radio in the same WP. I might try using triggers and the countdown you suggested, thanks . BTW, do you know how to properly set the ID of a group (I'm trying to set a guy named HQ so that HQ appears before his text. And it doesn't work with any of the others either :'().

Thank you all the same though .

setgoupID only works with Alpha-Zulu. There is a tut in the editors depot on how to make custom HQ callsigns. Have a look.

Erm. You with the radio messages you can activate the first message in the WP. Then place in the same WP radio1=true. In another trigger, make the condition radio1 and make it activate the second message. Then just set the time.

Thank you, I think I will .
