Hi, nope, I need to be able to hide a radio message like you would hide objectives on a map and breifings.

Why don't you just call the radio message in a script or trigger when you need it?

Hi all, I figured it out. Woohoo. Just a little searching in the FAQ area and I found out how to do it. Here's what to do, how to hide your radio channels, text etc.

1) Obviously have the player, and maybe create another unit that your going to radio.

2) Create an init.sqs File in your saved mission directory that your using. Then type this code in there.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">1 setradiomsg "null"

3) That will automatically hide your radio text on the start of the mission.

4) Then if you want to activate it in a trigger, unit or waypoint. Put this code in the appropriate area.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">1 setradiomsg "Call in Alpha"

Lets discuss the code:

"1" means Alpha. You can radio alpha. 2=bravo, 3=charlie, and etc. That's how you can hide the radio messages and recall them later if you need them.
