Can't "RADIO ITEM ADD" with diferent triggers.

[alexbap]

In my mission I want to add radios items over the mission time as long as some events

occur. So I've created triggers with "RADIO ITEM ADD" as needed.

The problem is that after first "RADIO ITEM ADD" trigger that was created at "MISSION START", no more radio items are created.

The only way I found to create more than one radio item is to put all of them on just one trigger but I don't want this.

Is this as intended? I thought we could create diferent radio items on diferent triggers.

 

And one more question regarding "REMOVE RADIO ITEM". On "name" tab do we have to write the entire message of radio item we want to delete so the game can identifie it?

 

Thanks.

You can create different Radio Items on different triggers, the only caveat that I know of, is that you can't have more than 10 Items in total.

 

And one more question regarding "REMOVE RADIO ITEM". On "name" tab do we have to write the entire message of radio item we want to delete so the game can identifie it?

 

yes. For exaple, this trigger build a Radio Menu:

 

 

and this other trigger clears the Menu:

Thanks Rudel,

thats what I thought, but my radio items aren't showing in mission when use more than one trigger.

Can someone please verify if this isn't bugged?

Thanks again.

... my radio items aren't showing in mission when use more than one trigger.

 

Just did a small test and they work for me:

 

 

 

So, not likely to be a bug .. perhaps you have a Mod that interferes, like VAICOM?

Thank you for your help, Rudel.

I finally figure it out and as 99% of the cases the problem was between the joystick and the chair.:doh:

When I made the mission I was counting on flag associated with first radio item to trigger the second radio item with a couple of seconds delay and in mission context this made sense. The problem was that during testing I was not using first radio item and therefore not triggering the flag that would allow second radio item to apear.

A tipical case of sleep privation provocking lack of awareness. I spent more than an hour trying do solve without sucess. Today, in 20 seconds I figure it out.

Again many thanks for your help.:thumbup:

I have also been looking at this same F10 Radio Add Item For Group for MP over the last couple of days. I did get a simple one to work but what I was trying to do does not work and in fact does look like a bug to me - if it works in the way I was trying to get it work it. There is nothing in manual for this item so I have been making some assumptions. The 'Radio Add Item' does state that it does not work in MP but the manual is quite old as we know. I took a screen shot of the simple test mission. When I 1st select Enfield I get the F10 item for Springfield. Selecting Springfield gives the correct F10 item. If I then go back to Enfield I get the F10 item meant for Enfield. Idea was to get each of the F10 items to set a different flag and then this increases value of different flag that ends in an action.

 

Can anyone say if it is bug or is not meant to work in this way?

I'm not 100% sure abaut this but this is my understanding of radio item flags.

Flags associated to "RADIO ITAM ADD" are just triggered once and if they were previous OFF. Once a flag is activated by a radio item it doesn't get triggered again by repetitive use of that same radio item because it was already ON. What you can do is to create a second trigger after every "RADIO ITEM ADD" trigger that will turn off the flag associated the radio item, a couple of seconds after this was turned ON. This was that flag is indeed get triggered with repetitive use of radio item.

Hope this is understandable.

Yep that's understandable. In the example i have I posted above I have a 'Radio Add Item For Group' allocated to a specific aircraft ie a group of 1 (called Enfield) and another Radio Add Item For Group for another aircraft ie a group of 1 (called Springfield). Each of these aircraft was to activate a different F10 'Radio Add Item For Group' flag. I never got to test as when I load mission and select 1st aircraft (Enfield) the F10 item reads as for the other aircraft. I then spawn in 2nd aircraft (Springfield) and it had the correct F10 item. If I then respawn in the 1st aircraft again I get the correct F10 item.

 

Also should clarify that this is in stable version and not OB. I am also trying to do as a MP mission.

In my experience I would recommend using the following "CONDITIONS" to achieve your goal. For each radio message select "GROUP ALIVE" and select the group name in the drop down box. Hope this helps...Cheers.
