Description

Description:
Make the person tell to the receiver the sentence. See Conversations for more details.
Problems:
Two units cannot talk on the same channel at the same time, this can lead to weird effects for non-local listeners; make sure not to use the same channel at the same time in multiplayer. Custom channels are considered as one channel for this matter.
Groups:
Conversations
