Note that this will also prevent you from using group radio.<br />
If you just want player unable to speak to others (or one particular soldier),<br />
use <code>player [[setVariable]] ["BIS_noCoreConversations", true];</code>

My previous note is incorrect now, you can use '''disableConversation''' and still use the group radio, at least in A2:OA !

Description

Description:
In theory disables the ability to talk to other people. In actuality, if true is given, the command increases unit's kbTell IsSpeaking status by 1, thus stopping unit from having a conversation. If false is given, the command decreases unit's kbTell IsSpeaking status by 1. The unit "is speaking" if IsSpeaking > 0.

while {!conversationDisabled _unit} do {_unit disableConversation true}; while {conversationDisabled _unit} do {_unit disableConversation false};
