Does Radio Transmission trigger not work in Multiplayer?

[ScopeDope]

Trying to set up ATIS and other working voice calls. Works fine in SP and for the host in MP, but client doesn't seem to receive the audio when tuned to the frequency.

 

Is this a DCS limitation?

I think that it's a MP bug ; I tried adding a radio transmission to a ground unit to simulate a CSAR beacon and while it worked in SP, it didn't in MP

Yes and no...it will work, but the client must be in the server at the time the transmission initially starts so you'll run into problems with a looping message like ATIS.

In my test, I had it play its (short) sound then reschedule the same function 10 seconds later ; so it should have worked with all clients, ain't it ?

[feefifofum]

What did you use to schedule the loop?

By using a flag on/off and check for time on flag in continues trigger this should work for any new client joining. Maybe add a text message to all when looping to make sure your loop works.

What did you use to schedule the loop?

 

I used a simple mist.scheduleFunction() call

I can't seem to get this to work reliably either. Some groups hear it, some don't, some of the time.

In some missions I have seen, mission builders are setting up the transmission in a continuous trigger. I have to try this myself but what it does is that it just continuously adds the same beacon with the same frequency over and over across the duration of the mission, allowing whoever join the MP to have their beacons set correctly.
