Sending messages only to the one who selected the menu item?

I created a menu item available the the coalition using addCommandForCoalition (... function() StatusReport() end, nil).

Now when StatusReport gets called I want to send a message, but only to the one who actually requested the status report, not to every client.

I know I have to use trigger.action.outTextForGroup, but how do I get the right groupID?

You have to add it via addCommandForGroup() for each group. For the arguments to call you can have the groupId in there, so it calls the same function with their groupId passed to it as an argument.

Thanks, so I guess I'll make a scheduled function to see who's active, get their groupID and add a menu to that group? Something like that?

If you build it at the start then the player should load into their aircraft with the menu already active. Only reasons to build the menu after each player spawns is if you want something specific to that person. Display their name within a sub-menu or something like that.

Okay, I see... Thanks Grimes :)

If you want some examples, you can have a look at what we did in my squadron.

The veafRadio.lua module abstracts most of the needed functions, and you can see it used in (for example) veafMove.lua ("move tanker to me" command).
