Just define more messages in the description.ext

class CfgRadio
{
sounds[] = {};
 class RadioMsg1
 {
  name = "";
   sound[] = {};
   title = "John Doe: Hey!";
 };

 class RadioMsg2
 {
  name = "";
  sound[] = {};
  title = "Bob: How's it going?";
 };
};


 class RadioMsg3
 {
  name = "";
  sound[] = {};
  title = "bla?";
 };

 class RadioMsg4
 {
  name = "";
  sound[] = {};
  title = "blabla?";
 };

Then I'll try to do this, will the game crash, and i have a error that said 'line number 19 is wrong'

class CfgRadio
{
sounds[] = {};
 class RadioMsg1
 {
  name = "";
   sound[] = {};
   title = "John Doe: Hey!";
 };

 class RadioMsg2
 {
  name = "";
  sound[] = {};
  title = "Bob: How's it going?";
 };
[b][color="Red"]};[/color][/b]


 class RadioMsg3
 {
  name = "";
  sound[] = {};
  title = "bla?";
 };

 class RadioMsg4
 {
  name = "";
  sound[] = {};
  title = "blabla?";
 };

It's cause of the thing in red, that goes at the bottom to close it. Just paste as many radio messages as you need:

class RadioMsg2
 {
  name = "";
  sound[] = {};
  title = "Modine: How's it going?";
 };

^^just that bit

Oh, thanks mate!

[ViV 10]

Okay, now I have a new problem. The game doesn't crash now, but ingame, then I'll enter the trigger I placed on map, and filled in the On Act thing, there comes a pop up there says " Could not found Radiomsg3 "

- Thanks in advance

Note that little EL symbol at the top. It will work in coop, but you have to make sure the script is run for every client you want the radio message to appear on, using i.e. addPublicVariableEventHandler.

So how does this have to look ?

Can someone explain how to make "globalRadio" work in Mp too ?

[CarlGustaffa 4]

Since Arma2 there exist a new concept called Remote script Execution, but (and I don't know why honestly) I haven't used it yet. More here:

Would be cool if someone knows how to do it that everyone (JIP Players too) in MP gets the globalChat messages...

EDIT:

Really, it does not work in Mp, tested it today !

I dont get it, there must be a way to get globalChat work in MP too...

Well guys, how to make the text in blue? Sidechat?

[kylania 567]

Yup.

unit sideChat "message";

[bboy 11]

I want to make a simple thing... Well, i have a team who i need to cover with sniper rifle from the hill... that is not a my team, i am individual... But i want to see a sideChat or globalChat message from that GROUP, every time when some team member gets kiled and which member. Without caps, blu color... Do i need a description file to do this or can do this with the triggers only?

[d3lta 10]

ok this is what i have done -

my chat.sqf sits in main folder contains -

logic globalRadio "RadioMsg1";
sleep 2;
logic globalRadio "RadioMsg2";

my description.ext -

Respawn = "BASE";
RespawnDelay = 6;
RespawnDialog = 0;
#include "R3F_revive\dlg_attente_reanimation.h"	

class CfgMusic
{
// List of sounds (.ogg files without the .ogg extension)
tracks[] = {};

// Definition for each sound
class radio
{
	name = "radio"; // Name for mission editor
	sound[] = {"\sounds\radio.ogg", db + 0, 1.0};
};
};

class CfgRadio
{
 sounds[] = {};
 class RadioMsg1
 {
   name = "";
   sound[] = {};
   title = "John Doe: Hey!";
 };

 class RadioMsg2
 {
   name = "";
   sound[] = {};
   title = "Bob: How's it going?";
 };
};

plus placed gamelogic on map called - logic

plus put trigger when blufor present - null=execVM "chat.sqf";

but nothing happens - as i said Arma2guru works with his set up but its not ideal.

I need to put this commands in my mission before to use globalRadio:

enableRadio true;

enableSentences true;

player disableConversation false;

player setVariable ["BIS_noCoreConversations", false];

Best regards

I haven't tried to do any of this stuff, mainly because I can't stand messages and conversations in the game, so I always have them disabled. I still see chat messages from players, but I never see scripted crappy messages on my screen, it just junk on my screen. Anyway... if you want to see your scripted conversation messages and you are wondering why you can't...

In game, hit escape, then select "Options", then select "Game Options", then you want to set "Subtitles" ENABLED, and also set "Radio Subtitles" ENABLED. Then it should work. Doi lol

If that other guy didn't respond to the reply then, Can anyone tell me how to add voices to sideChat Script?

For custom voiceovers you need to use .oggs. You'll basically have to find a voice actor or record the sounds yourself and convert them to .oggs. Then play them at the correct time during your mission. ie; when sidechat script runs.

Thanks dude! I'll look further into converting custom sounds.
