Artillery backup fire & group to group side chats.

Recommended Posts

Salute coders,

Please need help on 2 things to complete my mission to its final.

I am not good at scripting so I use and commands within the game via activation, ini in triggers and waypoints. So far things have been going excellent without scripting and trying to avoid the scripts (scary thing). smile_o.gif

<span style='color:blue'>First help...

How can I make another ally squad (not HQ) side chat with me using the trigger (the command and where to add them)?</span>

<span style='color:red'>Second help...

How can I call for artillery backup fire on an enemy position, map or an enemy object?

Also will calling for fighter bomber strike backup be the same as artillery strike backup command wise?</span>

I have looked at a lot of threads here and please forgive me if I repeat these questions, I must have missed it if somewhere here. I saw Mr-Murray's downloads but I am not understanding where to add some files and scripts made. I was hoping if the ways could be explained via within the map editor itself useing certain commands.

Thank you.

Just change the unit who's sidechatting to the leader of the other group:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">(leader groupname) sidechat "BLAH"

I did that...

leader echo sideChat "blah"; leader delta sideChat "Blah"...

It did not work.

Simple typo? "blah" vs. "Blah"?

Note, I know nothing about coding in either of BI's scripting languages. I've just had painful experience with languages that get case sensitive at the strangest times. confused_o.gif

Did you make sure echo and delta are proper group names?
