norman99 Posted April 7, 2022 Posted April 7, 2022 This has probably been requested many times before, but we really need the ability to message a single unit via script in DCS. Currently we have message to group, menu to group, picture to group, sound to group, but nothing to a unit. There’s many, many scripts that could use this instead of the current group method, Moose AirBoss is just one example. In multiplayer it only works correctly with each client in a separate group. Unfortunately for the Hornet, that means choosing between AirBoss functionality, or enhanced lead/wingman datalink (A, B, C, D) which is based on flight groups, rather than set in cockpit via MIDS.
norman99 Posted April 29, 2022 Author Posted April 29, 2022 Really pleased that ED has included this in the latest patch, it greatly helps scripters and mission builders. Thank you. Triggers. Added a trigger and scripting function to display a message to a selected unit. Triggers. Added a trigger and scripting function to sound to a selected unit. Now, to add to this new functionality, we just need a function "F10 menu to unit." This way the code can identify which unit within a group is making a request. Again, using MOOSE AirBoss as an example, currently only the group can request marshal etc, and whilst it's now possible to reply on an individual unit level, it's not yet possible to know which player payed the request for the marshal. Should I make a new whish list item, or will it get noticed here? 1
