1Tac F3 Radio ACRE2 component

The main idea behind my ACRE2 radio allocator is to offer a lot of flexibility and power to the mission maker. You should be able to create just about any radio layout with it. The fundamental design is to use a large array in which you define every radio channel you want to see used, this radio channel listing will be outputted in to a briefing page (pictured below), highlighting all the channels the player should be on. You should only need to edit the settings file, found in /f/radios/acre2_settings.sqf

Firstly the languages available in the mission are specified in an array at the top.

f_radios_settings_acre2_languages = [["english","English"],["farsi","Farsi"],["greek","Greek"]];

The languages are specified as a 2 part array. In the example [“english”,“English”], the first part is the name to use in code to reference it, the second part is the display label the users see.

The following code controls the language a unit can speak, you can tweak this function to return different languages. As this is done by side rather than faction NATO and FIA by default both speak english.

f_radios_settings_acre_babel_assignment = {
 _languagesToSpeak = [];

 switch (side _unit) do {
    case west: { _languagesToSpeak pushBack "english";};
    case east: { _languagesToSpeak pushBack "farsi";};
    case resistance: { _languagesToSpeak pushBack "greek";};
    default { _languagesToSpeak pushBack "greek"};
 };

 _languagesToSpeak // return list of languages to speak.
};

The first step to do is to modify the radio channel specification.
