SetIdentity doesn't work in 1.08??

[eJay 1]

Hello

I've made identity of person via description.ext and put on activation line: this setIdentity "Leader" (i've made that class"). But it does not work. When he want something to talk it looks like this: 1-1-B 1 "blablablabla (my text).

How to force game to use created identity to talk??

That is him talking if he is the leader of the group.

It's still doesn't work. I set identity to leader and there is no name in dialog line.

setIdentity never worked this way. Use setGroupId.

The persons name is only displayed in radio messages for players.

[eJay 1]

Yep, but I can' see any name, just number of unit.

you may have to format the string you want to say, ie if your using unit1 sideChat "something"; but really you want it to show "Alpha 5: Bob CommieKilla: something", then use the following,

speechtext = format["%1: something", name unit1]; unit1 sideChat speechtext;

The game will stick in the alpha 5 part.

Hope this is what you wanted.

Cheers

I know because the AI is peaking, the name is only displayed when a player is speaking.

Just to clarify, your class for each player looks like this?:

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

{

name = "JohnDoe";

face = "Face18";

glasses = "None";

speaker = "DAN";

pitch = 1.1;

};

well tried setidentity in 1.08 and it didnt work. nothing got changed. unless i did some error..

in description.ext i got

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

class CfgIdentities

{

class s1

{

glasses="sunglasses";

speaker="Dan";

pitch=0.60;

};

pitch=0.85;

};

}:

and those s1 & s2 got in initfield this setidentity "s1" and "s2"

if anyone managed to get it work, please tell me how

when a unit speaks using one of the chats, he is referred to by his place in the group.

1: Ready.

West Bravo 1: Ready.

B-1-1-1: Ready.

You only see the identity (real name) in the Briefing/Group list on the map and in formatted text using the name command.

Hi guys confirm pls;

stIdenty is not really working fully here, I get the new name and voice, but no designated face (from arma nor glasses).

Is that really it?

[fasad 1]

setIdentity works as expected in 1.09beta

Quote[/b] ]but no designated face

Check face reference in my sig. It works.

There are no glasses in Arma.

@Balschoiw

I´m pretty sure I used one of this basic faces that you illustrate on your sig on my mission and it didn´t worked, but as fasad brought, it was on 1.08, I´ll check again and I´ll try to confirm that.

Thanks a lot guys.
