thdman1511 4 Posted July 23, 2013 I am just wondering is it possible to change how units are displayed in the lobby, where players select which units they belong, instead of displaying Alpha 1-1 Alpha 2-1 for each group, is it possible to say have one squad named in the lobby as Zephir Delta, Bravo Tango. The reason behind this, is that I am in the planning stage of a mission where there are to be several squads, which will have different objectives and located at different areas, so I want the group names to show this. Is this at all possible and if so, how would it be done, any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 568 Posted July 23, 2013 Put text in the Description field of their unit on the map. The order they are in is the order you place them down on the map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thdman1511 4 Posted July 23, 2013 Thanks for that Kylania. ---------- Post added at 16:11 ---------- Previous post was at 15:57 ---------- I tried to enter a name into the description field of the unit, but it keeps coming up with Invalid variable name. I was entering 31st Militia 1, then 31st_Militia_1 then Delta and all I got was invalid variable name. Any suggestions what I am doing wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 568 Posted July 23, 2013 names can't start with numbers ---------- Post added at 03:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 AM ---------- These settings: Result in seeing this on the login screen (Description field): and this when you talk in game (setGroupID init): You'd refer to the unit in game for triggers/scripts as zephirdelta1.

x3djokerx 1 Posted July 25, 2013 but is there a way to change the "alpha 1-1" when yo uare in the unit selection screen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 568 Posted July 25, 2013 Not that I'm aware of. You can 'hide' it ingame by using the setGroupID command, but not on the slot selection screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
