Radio Messages

[Brute 11]

Could someone please explain to me how to make the FOB or High Command or whatever send custom radio messages to squads?

Commander sideChat "Howdy";

[West,"HQ"] SideChat format ["You have played for %1 seconds", time];

"HQ" can also be "airbase". Not sure if the other ones finally work properly if defined in stringTable.csv, or if this is even used anymore.

Basically, sideChat and sideRadio is the commands you're looking for.

If i put the following as a trigger would you actually hear someone say "Alpha is combat ready"?

No, only as a chat text. For audio you have to make the aduio files and set them up in description.ext. But I wouldn't use underscores as a prefix for unit names.
