i know that but the problem is my Intel has to say it and my intel isn't a person

Two options:    

1)   Create a loon to be your Intel.   Place him on an outlying island so he can't come to any harm.

2)  Use Papa Bear or November1 or something.  In init.sqs write

Papabear = ["West","HQ"]    (syntax not guaranteed)

then in them mission

Papabear sidechat "blah blag"

everybody is saying that
but iff it was that easy i would have found it my self
but i need no sidechat  but groupchat
because i have 2 groups and only 1 may here
it now the first idea is good iff i put the name in one of my man because he has to talk before he dies
but iff he dies can he still speak then???

My apologies for not reading your question properly in the first place.

Dead men don't speak.

If this is a single player mission then it doesn't really matter if you use groupchat, sidechat, or globalchat - the only difference is the colour of the text.  

If its a multiplayer mission you're in the wrong place - ask the mods to move this thread to the multiplayer board.

You could name all the loons in the group and make a script something like this (this is not a perfect script, its just a sketch of what you could do)


#loon1
? not (alive loon1): goto "loon2"
loon1 groupchat "text here"
exit

#loon2
? not (alive loon2): goto "loon3"
loon2 groupchat "text here"
exit

#loon3

etc
