[BUG] Messages sent from DCS Scripting Engine don't appear with Vaicom enabled. #49

Closed ZoeESummers closed 1 year ago

ZoeESummers commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug A lua Script using the DCS Scripting Engine (not MIST/MOOSE) can only send messages via five functions:

trigger.action.outText() trigger.action.outTextToUnit() trigger.action.outTextToGroup() trigger.action.outTextToCountry() trigger.action.outTextToCoalition()

When a text message is sent via these, with VIACOM enabled, the message is suppressed and not displayed to the player.

To Reproduce Either from a script or from a tigger in the mission editor run any of those commands and try to send a text message.

Notice that nothing is displayed.

Disable VIACOM and reload mission, and notice that the text is displayed.

Expected behavior VIACOM should not surpress these types of messages that mission designers and script programmers use to add richness and additional AI communication to players in-game.

Screenshots N/A

Additional context N/A

Tested it, can't replicate it. If I send messages from my mission, it works with or without VAICOM enabled.

Ensure hide on-screen text is turned off under the preferences tab. If it is on please let us know so we can close this issue, if it is off then this is a bug.

I'll do some tests and report back.

Hide On-Screen Text is off and I do get text messages from the standard comms to tankers, ATC, etc.

When a script sends messages using trigger.outtexttounit() I don’t get them.

Everyone else who doesn’t have Viacom does and if I disable Viacom I get them too

*Vaicom not "Viacom"

I also cannot replicate this, I get the messages with or without Vaicom running. Would you mind sharing your Vaicom settings?

I experienced it today while playing the F-16 red flag campaign. I am not 100% sure but I think "disable menus" option caused it.

Penecruz commented 1 year ago

Also I can't reproduce, I have messages displayed as long as hide messages is unchecked in the Vaicom preferences.I'll leave this open in case someone else has the issue however, I believe it must be something with your system/installation.
