sideRadio

Description

Sends the audio message to the side radio channel. The message is defined in CfgRadio in the description.ext file or config radio protocol. The transmission will play only on the PC where command was executed. If you need the transmission to play on all computers, you have to execute it globally (see remoteExec).

Important

The unit must have an assigned radio item (such as "ItemRadio") to see or transmit the messages. A radio item must have the property simulation = "ItemRadio"; in its CfgWeapons config.

Note

When transmitting unit gets killed, transmission will be interrupted. However when receiving unit gets killed, the transmission continues to play.
