Mission Editor- Radio Menu question

[R0NiN]

I'm somewhat new to triggers and whatnot in the mission editor- and I'm trying to set up an OH-58 Recon mission where the player controlled unit can trigger actions of ground forces via the radio menu. What I'm trying to do is make it so that a convoy departs a location and holds at a certain point and once my helicopter is airborne I can hit an option in the radio menu to have them stop holding and continue on their waypoints. Then they'll hold once more until I select a second option in the radio menu for them to move again. And finally, I have a QRF staged so that if/when (really when) the convoy encounters enemy forces I can hit another button in the radio menu to get the QRF moving.

What I've done: put waypoint options on each point in the route for them to hold with the stop conditions at flag 1, 2, and 3 (3 being for the QRF to not start moving). Then I added in triggers 3 add radio item triggers each flagged as 1, 2, and 3. Did I do this right, or am I way off? Is this method even possible?

TIA.

Well, have you tried your mission when you set it up? Did it work? 

If it didn't work, something obviously wasn't set up correctly. What you want to set up definitly sounds doable. 

How I would do it:

Set up path for ground units. Add a waypoint where they should hold, add holding task to that waypoint and add the end condition and assign a flag to it. 

Then for triggers, add radio item and set it to the same flag as the hold end condition. Or if you want it to trigger when you take off, set altitude of unit above X meters - set flag. 

And the other holding waypoints in the similar way as above, just with different flags of course. 

And if all still fails and it doesn't work, feel free to upload your mission.

That worked! Just tested it and it seems to have worked.
