sayMessageTo script help

Trying to send radio voice (saygroup) messages to each person in a given army. Code has no compile errors but doesn't voice to players? Any help appreciated.

Code:

    private void sayMessageTo(int army, string msg)

    {   // send a speech message to all players in specified army (1=red; 2=blue)

        foreach (AiAirGroup g in GamePlay.gpAirGroups(army))

        {

            bool SaidToGroup = false;

            foreach (AiAircraft a in g.candidates())

            {

                if (SaidToGroup == true) return; // speech already said to group

                SaidToGroup = true;

                a.SayToGroup(a.AirGroup(), "Received_and_understood_Villa_Leader");  // for testing only

                //a.SayToGroup(a.AirGroup(), msg);

            }

        }

    }

Your error:
if (SaidToGroup == true) return;
you leaving the method, but i think you will only leave the foreach, so you must use:
if (SaidToGroup == true) break;

and g.candidates() returns AiAirGroup[] so you should use GetItems() to get the Actors.

Corrected code:

Code:

private void sayMessageTo(int army, string msg)

    {   // send a speech message to all players in specified army (1=red; 2=blue)

        foreach (AiAirGroup g in GamePlay.gpAirGroups(army))

        {

            bool SaidToGroup = false;

            foreach (AiActor a in g.GetItems())

            {

                if (SaidToGroup == true) break; // speech already said to group

                SaidToGroup = true;

                (a as AiAircraft).SayToGroup((a as AiAircraft).AirGroup(), "Ready_for_takeoff");  // for testing only

                //a.SayToGroup(a.AirGroup(), msg);

            }

        }

    }

Thanks Kodiak. I altered the script (below x 2) to eliminate if/break issues. Still doesn't work though :( It's as though the GamePlay.gpAirGroups(army) call is not returning any valid aircraft?

Code:

        private void sayMessageTo(int army, string msg)

    {   // send a speech message to all players in specified army (1=red; 2=blue)

        foreach (AiAircraft a in GamePlay.gpAirGroups(army))

        {

            a.SayToGroup(a.AirGroup(), "Nice_shot");  // for testing



        }

    }

Code:

        private void sayMessageTo(int army, string msg)

    {   // send a speech message to all players in specified army (1=red; 2=blue)

        sendScreenMessageTo(1, "saymessage", null);  // testing

        foreach (AiAircraft a in GamePlay.gpAirGroups(1))

        {

            a.SayToGroup(a.AirGroup(), "Nice_shot");



        }

        foreach (AiAircraft a in GamePlay.gpAirGroups(2))

        {

            a.SayToGroup(a.AirGroup(), "Nice_shot");



        }

    }

try my correction above, it should work.

GamePlay.gpAirGroups(army) returns AiAirGroup[]
AiAirGroup.Candidates returns AiAirGroup[]

You need an Actor (AiAircraft) for saytogroup
so you should use
AiAirGroup.GetItems() returns AiActor[]

you get no error because AiAirGroup is also an Actor, but in these case the wrong one.

Yes, above example works. Thankyou again Kodiak :)
