How do I make the AI use names not numbers on radio

How do I make the AI use names not numbers on the radio like in the showcase missions?

Thanks!

Good question! Haven't poked around to see how that works yet, but it's pretty neat.

anybody figured this one out yet?

You just use setIdentity.

Go into the config viewer and look up cfgIdentities for the names.

Hi apologize that I don't fully understand how this works, but can somebody provide me with a short detailed explanation? I would be much obliged.

Is there something I can put in the leaders init line for example? like foreachunit this use names?

Thank you so much!

To do this you need to use cfgIdentities in the description.ext file. See the example in the Notes section of setIdentity.

Create a description.ext with:

class CfgIdentities
{
   class [color="#0000FF"]Givens[/color]
   {
       name = "Givens";
       nameSound = "[color="#FF0000"]Givens[/color]";
       face="WhiteHead_01";
	glasses="None";
	speaker="Male01ENG";
	pitch=1;
   };
};

Then in your soldier's init put:

this setIdentity "[color="#0000FF"]Givens[/color]";

The blue classname is what you use for setIdentity and you can make it whatever you wanted but the red namesound is one of the values listed in my note on setIdentity page. Those are the built in options for this feature.
