Can identified groupmember sidechat?

Recommended Posts

Hi

From he wiki I see that setgroupID now supports giving the name for each group as you see fit, no longer restricted to only the given Alpha, Bravo, etc. Very nice.

But is it possible somehow to have i.e. a member/leader/radioman of Alphateam call Bravoteam in such a way that he is identified as another groups teammember?

I.e. "Bravo5: Thanks for the support, let's head home"

Or have him call certain groups but without using sideChat?

Using the sideChat seems awefully limited with only two working sides (for west; HQ or Firefly, rest will work as HQ).

I wish a future patch could address this limitation.

I was thinking of having this dummyguy going in and out of groups to chat, but I feel this would look bad especially when playing the groups leader, having this dummy guy popping in and out of the group... Not to mention what this could do to possible counting events that takes place.

But for now, is there any way around this?

You can try this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">unit1 sidechat format ["%1: Thanks for the support, let's head home",unit2]

But that also puts their side in front of the group name.

Great, that will possibly do the trick. Group ID's can "fix" the names, and all other uglyness I'm stuck with is the number 1 sign after his ID.

Not perfect, but far better than I actually hoped for.

Case closed.

Maybe the wiki should be updated with info saying sideChat don't work in init fields? Spent too long time figuring out that was my main source of error crazy_o.gif
