Add Radio Extraction Options via Scripting

[nighteyes13 10]

Hi all,

I'm trying to find out how to add options in to the radio / command menu at 0-9 (Custom).

The end goal is so the squad leader in a Co-Op mission can call extraction and select the LZ like so

0 - 9 (Custom) - Call Extraction at LZ - LZ Alpha

- LZ Bravo

- LZ Charlie

- etc

- Other Options

So far I have not been able to find how to add this by scripting.

All I have found is adding a trigger in the editor with Radio Alpha etc

Any help / code snippets / telling me what I should be googling for will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

_trg = createTrigger["EmptyDetector",getPos player];

_trg setTriggerActivation["ALPHA",  "PRESENT",true];
_trg setTriggerActivation["BETA",   "PRESENT",true];
_trg setTriggerActivation["CHARLIE","PRESENT",true];
_trg setTriggerActivation["DELTA",  "PRESENT",true];
_trg setTriggerActivation["ECHO",   "PRESENT",true];
_trg setTriggerActivation["FOXTROT","PRESENT",true];
_trg setTriggerActivation["GOLF",   "PRESENT",true];
_trg setTriggerActivation["HOTEL",  "PRESENT",true];
_trg setTriggerActivation["INDIA",  "PRESENT",true];
_trg setTriggerActivation["JULIET", "PRESENT",true];

_trg setTriggerText "Your custom radio name here";

_trg setTriggerStatements["this", "hint 'Radio has been triggered'", ""];

You could also use the games built-in support transport module for a more "streamlined" approach.

1. Place a support requester module on the map at one of the airports

2. Place a helicopter transport support module [virtual] on the map next to the requester module

3. Sync the 2 modules together

4. Add one of the following codes to the init.sqf

// add support permissions for all leaders if they are a player
waitUntil { someCondition };

_modules = allMissionObjects "SupportRequester";
{
if (isPlayer (leader _x)) then {
	(_modules select 0) synchronizeObjectsAdd [ leader _x ];
};
} forEach allGroups;	

OR

// add the support module to only the leader of one group
waitUntil { someCondition };
_modules = allMissionObjects "SupportRequester";
(_modules select 0) synchronizeObjectsAdd [ leader alpha ];

5. Note the waitUntil { someCondition } line. Enter your own condition there. ie; when your objective is completed
