Intruder 0 Posted December 23, 2001 Put this in the init field of the group leader group_1=group this; group_1 setgroupID ["Alpha","groupcolor1"] "GroupColor1" = Black "GroupColor2" = Red "GroupColor3" = Green "GroupColor4" = Blue "GroupColor5" = Yellow "GroupColor6" = Orange "GroupColor7" = Pink Sorry, groupcolor the american way, not the british way (Edited by Intruder at 1:47 pm on Dec. 23, 2001) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeaDMeaT 0 Posted January 24, 2002 Is there a way to change the group names before actually playing the level??...ie, i want there to be only one group playable but i want it to be Delta....instead of puting each player into alpha....so before the game even starts, i want it to say delta....god i hope u understand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intruder 0 Posted January 24, 2002 group names can only be changed during the mission editing, once it's been exported to pbo, you can't change it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Animal_Mother -SWAF- 0 Posted February 2, 2003 Hi there... could it be that there is a change about this through 1.91? I tried something similar: 1 SGT, 8 CPLs in one group (so the SGT leads the group). In the init of the SGT I have: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">grp=group this; this setBehaviour "SAFE"; this SetGroupID ["Bravo","Groupcolor3"]<span id='postcolor'> Anyway, when I save the mission and try it out, the group is called "Charlie Blue" instead of "Bravo Blue" like it should be. Where is my mistake?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jacobaby Posted May 17, 2003 Think I mentioned this via PM to somebody. The MPsetup bit is run from mission.sqm and description.ext, BEFORE INIT.SQS etc, which I believe is why it works in game and not in setup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reapy 0 Posted May 17, 2003 okay, But how can I init the command via description.ext or mission.sqm ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wacko 26 Posted May 17, 2003 make a Init.sqs then type this in grp1 setgroupid ["Delta", "groupcolor1"] make sure you have "grp1=group this;" in the init field of the groups leader then it should work fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reapy 0 Posted May 17, 2003 No WaCko, Like Jacobaby and bn880 say if you don't initialize the command in the description.ext or the mission.sqm, the group names in the multiplayers setup are not change ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
