setGroupId Issues

[RangerX3X 0]

I am using the following code in the initialization field of the squad leader:

{_x moveincargo WHELO1} foreach units group this; WSQD1 = group this; this setgroupId ["ALPHA SQUAD"]

The squad leader is named Alpha.

In the unit selection area the squad leader shows up as "ALPHA SQUAD 1" and the other group members are 2, 3, etc:

But in the game the "ALPHA SQUAD" only shows up in when a unit is injured. If they are just saying something else, it only comes up as "1":

This is for a single player mission - any help would be appreciated as the Biki subject is not providing the answer.

Thanks!!

That's just how it's done.

Within the group, you only need the number to identify you.

Within the side, you also need to squad to identify you.

Within global, I think name of the unit is used instead.

Why would the members of Bravo be interested in knowing that Alpha-1 has target in sight? A medic request on the other hand would be important, as few squads have a medic. Would clutter up the channel. It's quite natural, and I don't think there is anything to do about it. Except for custom chatter, where you control which channel the information is sent on.
