ME Gurus... TransmitMessage script in a WP runscript?

[ChuckIV]

ME Gurus, I need your help.

I've attached a VERY simple .miz file to show what I'm trying to do in the Channel Map. I have an enemy plane (Bf109) flying a route, and at its waypoint 1, I want the run script command to put out a written message and a sound message on a frequency of 125MHz AM.

I added the sound file (.ogg) to the Allied Spitfire (client that needs to hear the message), to the Axis Bf109 that has the WP1 used, and even an Allied Willlys Jeep at Manston AB for comms for you to use as the sound source.

I have the written message working for the client (it's just sent to the entire Blue coalition); it's the sound message I need your help with. I have searched the forums and Internet for the proper lua code, but to no avail.

Could one of you lua code Gurus open my .miz file and add your magic code to the Bf109's waypoint 1 (run script) command? Please repost with the working .miz file.

Any help would be EXTREMELY helpful!

Thanks in advance, ChuckIV

I don't have the map yet. But if you use "radio transmission" instead of "run script" you'll find what you need (ogg file selection, frequency, source that is a zone, etc...). It's in the "triggers" menu/button.

Thanks for the reply toutenglisse, but I'm looking for a way to REDUCE the number of triggers I'm using. I need to do this at waypoints using run script instead of using zones as triggers.

Chuck,

 

Under ADVANCED ACTIONS for the 109's WP1, you can use PERFORM COMMAND > TRANSMIT MESSAGE to do this. As Toutenglisse says, it allows you to select a sound file and an accompanying "subtitle" which will show on screen as a written message. You just need to make sure that the 109 is on your desired frequency.

I’m pretty sure I tried that. Did you try it in the mission yet to see if it works? I thought there was an issue because they’re in different coalitions.

[Yoda967]

The short answer is, "Yes and no." I'm using this technique in a mission I'm building, but not across coalitions.

Gurus?? Anyone have the time to input a little lua script together so a RED coalition pilot can TransmitMessage to a BLUE coalition on the same frequency in a waypoint using run script???
