How to make units SHUT UP

[anusmangler 1]

Ive both used this setVariable ["BIS_noCoreConversations", true]; and enableradio false and neither are working......when placed in check points on in units init fields so....whats the deal am i doing something wrong here? I just want to turn off units talking at places then turn it back on when there's combat or I need units to have Sidechat show up.....help?

There is no way to turn off all messages and radio chat and turn it on again later. You can turn off it completly and forever with mods.

Using "enableSentences false;" should help. You really won't get any messages then, though. Even if you manualy fire e.g. sideRadio, you'll have to set "enableSentences true" first.

theres no way to turn it off? without mods? Ive played other peoples missions and the units never speak.....theres got to be some way of doing that....

When I use some commands to turn of radio and chat, all I see is occasional "Regroup". But other player which executing same commands in multiplayer have a lot of chat going on. It's not very reliable.

What commands do you use?

[lexx 1128]

Read what I wrote. With "enableSentences false;" you can disable the communication...

I put the command in my init.sqf mission file

I can work around that...ok how about disableAI AUTOTARGET and TRAGET? My units still target the enemy units....move waypoint with holdfire and stealth.....careless or safe is not an option they move to slow....I can send my mission to someone willing to help.

in your initPlayerLocal.sqf:

enableSentences false;

0 fadeRadio 0;

and in your servers .Arma3Profile:

autoSpot=0;

Can also play around with disableConversation, and BIS_noCoreConversations.
