Name player who used radio trigger

[Doodle 10]

On a dedi server I have a simple radio trigger that displays a hint -

RADIO ALPHA

COND This

ACT hint "Someone has called for support";

I would like the message to say the name of the player who has called for support ie "John has called for support". or Peter 2 etc depending on who uses the radio

thanks in advance

Just to note, it helps others who have the same question if you post up your solution rather than announcing that you simply figured it out.

Hadnt get backa cos I found another problem so then wasnt sure if my solution worked.

But for reference "This && player == soldier1" in the COND of a trigger means only player named soldier1 will be able to use the radio trigger - even though the others can see it in their radio lists

working perfect on dedi

init.sqf:

clientCode = nil;
"clientCode" addPublicVariableEventHandler {call (_this select 1)};

trigger activation:

clientCode = compile format ["hint '%1 has called for support'",player];
publicVariable "clientCode";

This was just off the top of my head (and will only work in multiplayer), so I can't confirm that 100%. This may help you if that doesn't work.

Thanks for this - Will give it a try - What I am trying to acheive is each of the 10 players in the mission have a "unique" ability

Would the above example broadcast the message to all players on a dedi and dont suppose you know if it is JIP and respawn friendly?

thanks in advance

Take a look at the comments in the Wiki.

It explains JIP Compatibility and so on.

I have taken a look at this and I'm affraid I just cant get my head round it -

I am slowly getting a solution to my problems - its all part of this thread (maybe should merge them) HERE

I think that between all of you guys have have got it working as intended almost - just need a couple of buddies to test it with on dedi

Thanks
