Restrict Radio to certain sides?

[CaptainBravo 0]

Hey everyone,

I have a mission with 3 oppsite sides and I need to restrict radio Triggers (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc) to different sides. So west can only use Alpha,Bravo, Charlie radio) East has access to Delta, Echo, Foxtrot) and Ind to rest.

Any explanation on how to do this is highly appreciated.

This might be a harder question than I thought ..

Anyone knows to hide triggers from specific sides?? Answers are really appreciated.

Hi,

Its actually very easy.

if (!isDedicated) then 
{
   if (side player == West) then
   {
         1 setRadioMsg "NULL";  //No radio Alpha for West side
         2 setRadioMsg "Call Reinforcements";  //Radio Bravo is available for West
   }
   else
   {
         1 setRadioMsg "Call Evac";  //Alpha radio is available to East side
         2 setRadioMsg "NULL";  //Bravo radio is not available for east
   };
}; 

That can be/should be put in the init.sqf.

You can use a switch statement instead of a if then.

if (!isDedicated) then 
{
   switch (side player) do
   {      
        case west : 
        { 
             1 setRadioMsg "NULL" };  //No radio Alpha for West side
             2 setRadioMsg "Call Reinforcements";  //Radio Bravo is available for West
        };

        case east : 
        {
            1 setRadioMsg "Call Evac";  //Alpha radio is available to East side
            2 setRadioMsg "NULL";  //Bravo radio is not available for east
        };
   };
};

Thanks neokika, it seems easier than I thought.

A noob question but what is the difference/Advantage for using if vs switch ?

Thanks.

Switch allows you to use more than two possibilities very easy. You could establish let's say three different ways by using if-then-else:

_x = round(random 2);

if (_x == 0) then {
hint "_x is 0!";
} else {
if (_x == 1) then {
	hint "_x is 1!";
} else {
	hint "_x is 2!";
};
};

But switch allows you to do that much easier:

_x = round(random 2);

switch (_x) do {
case 0: {hint "_x is 0!"};
case 1: {hint "_x is 1!"};
case 2: {hint "_x is 2!"};
};

So just use switch if you have more than two possibilities. ;)

Thanks IndeedPete, thhis certainly explains the difference.

It sounds like switch is the way to go.
