Description

Description:

Sets the group radio callsign, how it will be displayed in radio chat. Two groups on the same side cannot have the same callsign (possible on different sides) - see Example 4.
The identity setup can consist of format keywords (marked with %) and param keywords taken from CfgWorlds config. Formatting is almost like using the format command but with some special group keywords (see Example 2).

• In Operation Flashpoint, the group ID cannot be freely decided and format must be [letter, colour, picture] or [letter, colour] - nameFormat cannot be a custom text - see Example 3.
• The radio callsign strings can be overwritten in a mission by writing Stringtable entries of the same name. Some entry names: Show text
  • STR_CFG_GRPNAMES_ALPHA
  • STR_CFG_GRPNAMES_FOX
  • STR_CFG_GRPCOL_BLACK
  • STR_CFG_GRPNAMES_SIX (unlike its name suggests, this is a "group colour")
  • STR_CFG_FIREFLYBASE
  • STR_CFG_PAPABEAR
  • STR_CFG_HQ_BASE

Examples

Example 1:

Arma 3:

Copy

group player setGroupId ["Some name for the group"]; hint groupId group player; // "Some name for the group" player sideChat "lalala"; // Some name for the group (KK): "lalala"

Example 2:

Arma 3:

Copy

group player setGroupId ["%GroupNames :=: %GroupColors", "Alpha", "GroupColor2"]; hint groupId group player; // "Alpha :=: Red" player sideChat "lalala"; // Alpha :=: Red (KK): "lalala"

Example 3:

Armed Assault / Arma 2 / Arma 3:

Copy

group player setGroupId ["First Assault Recon Team"];

Operation Flashpoint:

Copy

_group1 setGroupId ["Delta", "GroupColor4"]

Example 5:

When trying to apply the same callsign to two groups of the same side, the callsigns will simply be swapped, e.g:

Copy

group1 setGroupId ["Active Group"]; group2 setGroupId ["Inactive Group"]; group2 setGroupId ["Active Group"]; // group1 is "Inactive Group" now
