Communication menu is a commanding menu where support or mission requests are placed.
The player can access it using following means:
- Open the quick command menu ('~' by default) and select "Communication" item
- Press 8-1 (Reply - Communication)
Available items are announced upon adding by a Notification and remain visualized as icons next to the commanding menu.
Configuration
Config
Communication menu items can be defined in config - global Config.cpp, campaign Description.ext or mission Description.ext (searched in this order, the latter has the highest priority).
class CfgCommunicationMenu
{
class myArtillery
{
text = "Artillery Strike"; // Text displayed in the menu and in a notification
submenu = ""; // Submenu opened upon activation
expression = "player setVariable ['BIS_SUPP_request', ['Artillery', _pos]];"; // Code executed upon activation (ignored when the submenu is not empty)
icon = "\a3\Ui_f\data\GUI\Cfg\CommunicationMenu\artillery_ca.paa"; // Icon displayed permanently next to the command menu
cursor = "\a3\Ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\Cursors\iconCursorSupport_ca.paa"; // Custom cursor displayed when the item is selected
enable = "1"; // Simple expression condition for enabling the item
removeAfterExpressionCall = 1; // 1 to remove the item after calling
};
};
You can preview pre-defined items using the config viewer.
Adding
Use following functions to add the item in your mission or system:
Number of slots is limited to 10, no pagination is implemented. Larger number is an edge case, no mission should need as many supports.
Expression Arguments
Following arguments are passed into the expression field:
[caller,pos,target,is3D,ID]
