Is it possible, through chat, to output text to a given channel?

Hi all.

I was discussing using my G15's G-keys to output text direct to both a given player and also to a given channel (for example, Vehicle for when my heli's landed and I want them to disembark).

Is it possible, using a text command, to direct text to that channel (for example: "/vehicle Disembark, GO GO GO!!"?

It's not possible to write text to a certain channel directly. You have to open the chat and then switch the channel with the up and down arrow keys before sending the entered text.

You can however VON directly into a certain channel by assigning the associated key in the options.

Hmmm that's a nuisance... the player I wanted to sent the text to specifically is deaf, so VON isn't a option... is there a chance BIS could consider adding such an option in the future maybe?

We tend to use Teamspeak still, so I just use a global send when I need to talk elsewhere, I was just hoping to limit the spam in-game to those who need it... not to worry.

Thanks Zwobot

OK, probably should move this to Editing - just found the VehicleChat script command - so we might be able to set up some custom set pieces there.

Thanks Zwobot.
