Task Force Radio Auto Channel Set Script

[Dimrose 23]

This script is designed to set predefined channel frequencies for both short range and long range while using Task Force Radio. Defined parameters allow you to defined up to 8 short range and 9 long range channel frequencies. Event handler written in so when you close the inventory menu the channels are set. Useful when dealing with in game issues and helps save the mission developer time

There are such params in userconfig TFR.

I get a lot of new players coming in on ops and when there is 20 to 30 players it helps me keep it simple for everyone. Figured I would share it.

I cant find any recent topics for this and userconfigs dont seem to be a thing anymore.. How do we preset channels today? We run a server and would like to set the channels for anyone getting a radio so that they are pre defined.

^that's what I use

@Dostojetski It's really simple now, just make sure you have the 1.0 "beta" version (which is only a beta in name and is in fact more stable than the old 0.96) and use the CBA setting to set all your radio channels.

Thanks guys but me not so fluent anymore since userconfig is not a thing anymore. Where do I put these lines if I want it to be on a server or a mission? And is there anyway to set stereo and additional channels?

[stanhope 409]

There probably is, just have a look in the documentation: https://github.com/michail-nikolaev/task-force-arma-3-radio/wiki

And I run that code every time someone exits the arsenal, which isn't ideal but it works.

The proper way is to use the CBA settings, or the 3DEN attributes.
You can set default frequencies

globally - via CBA TFAR global settings

per group - via 3DEN Attributes

per unit - via 3DEN Attributes

 

Most people with scripts make the mistake of not checking if the player even has a radio, or whether the radio is initialized yet, or whether the player has multiple radios.

 

Atleast I think per unit is also a thing 🤔

@Dedmen

We're using the script way of setting frequencies (the one shown further up, as we set different ones for different squads and fireteams, and as part of the "immersion" of going over to the radio corporal and "getting it done"). 

Question though, is there a line of similar code to pre-program the additional channel function of the radios? or a CBA/3DEN attributes way?

Thanks for any potential help regarding this ;).
