How can I get the player name in multiplayer server? When he operates the radio menu (MIST)

Unfortunately the best that can be done is to create a mission command at a group level and pass the relevant id as one of the values within the command. The example on this page does exactly that. The passed value to the function is the group name.

Much to our collective lament ED has yet to add commands for units. The smallest it goes is for groups. This is why CTLD requires the helicopters to be their own group. Its the only way to be 100% certain which player issued a command.

I've recently asked for this level of granularity in the Wish List too. Is there any way to raise its profile and visibility with the dev team? It surely can't be a too complicated or time consuming task?

Its been on the bug/feature tracker for several years as is. Gotta complain to a community manager about it.
