Sidechat message not showing

[Chairborne 2594]

I'm having this issue and i don't get what i'm doing wrong.

Basically i have an area trigger.

As soon as blufor units enter this area trigger a script is launched.

null = [] execvm "scripts\spawner_1.sqf";

This script has a small delay, then it should give the players a few messages ("enemy incoming bla bla bla"), then when this is done it should spawn two groups of enemies.

sleep (30 + random 30);

[west,"HQ"] sidechat "message 1 blablabla.";

sleep 5;

[west,"HQ"] sidechat "message 2 blablabla.";

sleep 5;

[west,"HQ"] sidechat "message 3 blablabla.";

sleep (30 + random 30);

if (isserver) then 

{

_squad1 = [getPos sp1, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "caf_ag_afr_p" >> "Infantry" >> "10_men_afr_p")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;

_squad1wp1 = _squad1 addwaypoint [getpos spd1, 0];
_squad1wp1 setwaypointtype "MOVE";
_squad1wp1 setwaypointbehaviour "COMBAT";
_squad1wp1 setwaypointspeed "FULL";
_squad1wp1 setwaypointcombatmode "RED";

sleep 15;

_squad2 = [getPos sp2, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "caf_ag_afr_p" >> "Infantry" >> "10_men_afr_p")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;

_squad2wp1 = _squad2 addwaypoint [getpos spd1, 0];
_squad2wp1 setwaypointtype "MOVE";
_squad2wp1 setwaypointbehaviour "COMBAT";
_squad2wp1 setwaypointspeed "FULL";
_squad2wp1 setwaypointcombatmode "RED";

sleep 240;

deletevehicle oobj_2;

};

Problem is, the server spawns the units and deletes the vehicle correctly, however the sidechat messages don't appear to be showing on clients.

What am i missing here?

Also, how would you go about it?

I don't really need anything fancy, i just need the messages to be delayed and then the two groups to be spawned.

I think your going to have to public variable the sideChat messages, so it's executed on every client.

Are you using any mods eg AGM ? It disables sideChat, use

enableRadio true;

[dreadedentity 278]

Start by putting this in the debug console just to make sure the command works.

[west,"HQ"] sidechat "message 1 blablabla.";

After you've made sure the issue isn't to do with a mod, and that the clients in question have radios, and that the command works, you can use bis fnc mp to broadcast the message.

Snippet.

[{[west,"HQ"] sidechat "message 1 blablabla.";},"BIS_fnc_spawn",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;
sleep 5;
[{[west,"HQ"] sidechat "message 2 blablabla.";},"BIS_fnc_spawn",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;
sleep 5;
[{[west,"HQ"] sidechat "message 3 blablabla.";},"BIS_fnc_spawn",true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;

I'm using F3 framework and ACRE.

After some messing around i found that ACRE radios are not distributed to players for some weird reason.

I guess the reason is the lack of radios.

For every bug i solve two new come out lol. ;)

Thank you anyway!

[Chairborne 2594]

I'm a dumbass... i gave my units so much equipment it clogged the inventory, thus i had everything BUT the ACRE radios that apparently are removed and distributed again at a later point while loading because of F3.

Sorry for wasting your time and thanks again.

No worries. Figured it was lack of radios. =)
