Adding spawn messages for clients after 1.5

[Shaman]

How do you handle messages (f.e. briefings) for clients or flights spawn on server after 1.5 update. Let say I have two flights of 4 clients each. In first flight I would like to display same message to every client in flight, on second flight I would like to display spawn message for each individual client. How do you trigger and script this? Do you use MISC for that?

I had no previous knowledge how to do that anyways ;)

Flight one should work fine with the built-in ME logic.

SWITCHED CONDITION; UNIT ALIVE (pilot1) OR UNIT ALIVE (pilot2) etc. etc.; MESSAGE TO GROUP (flight1)

 

For flight 2, I'm not sure. I don't think there is a way to work messages to individual flight members...you can make each member of the flight its own group, then the trigger looks like:

SWITCHED CONDITION; UNIT ALIVE (pilot1); MESSAGE TO UNIT (pilot1)

 

If you are trying to run a single flight with 4 client aircraft, though, rather than 4 client groups behaving as a single flight, I think you're stuck with sending the message to the entire group.

There is no MESSAGE TO UNIT in Mission Editor so there you must use MIST.
