An Exchange of Messages

[Datek]

I have figured out trigger, message to group, sound to group, etc. How do I have a series of messages and replys play in a sequence with the mission editor?

 

Example:

 

"one this is two, I'm hungry over"

"Two this is one, cheeseburgers inbound over"

"roger that!"

Usually they are timed unless you want the user to control dialogue then you have to use the F-10 menu (Radio Add) triggers and flags to control the flow.

 

For dialogue like you have listed I would set a flag after the first message and then time the other messages after that:

 

So for your first message set a flag say 1.

Then the next trigger would be (time since flag 1, 10 seconds) then the 2nd message would display/play.

Then the next trigger would be timed a little later (time since flag 1, 20 seconds) then the 3rd message would display/play.

 

This is the easiest way if the dialogue is scripted.

Flags and timers, got it, thank you Sabre-TLA.

If you have a conversation playing every time in the same order, you can also record it as one file and play it

Right I was initially thinking that, but if I am having 'message to group' text come up for all the radio chatter, I still need to space that out with flags and timers.
