Driffter Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 radios have been apart of dayz for a long time. i believe they have been on the ban list for most of the time. a lot of skins have radios with them. i have not seen the AI and what they have for clothing. if its the takistani warlord and skins along those lines you will find a radio on them. the radio from what i have heard (never confirmed it) is that if you are near a radio tower (green mountain) on the top of the hour you will hear a radio broadcast.

Achmed Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 im not referring to skins but more of the radio that goes in a tool slot. ill head over to green mountain and see if its true :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxman80 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Radios are added as part of Sarges AI and are just useless items the bots carry. They were originally put in Day Z way back last year, probably as a placement marker at the time for some other inventory tool items . There was a rumor that if you had one that every now and then a radio broadcast would be made giving the grid references of the deer stands but this was unconfirmed. More recently I have seen some coders working on scripts that allow people who have radios to use side chat, which is a useful script in my opinion.

Achmed Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 thats what i thought it may have been for tbh as the side chat was disabled so i enabled it and then came across the radio. oh well ill just drop them to save space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driffter Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 i understand what you are saying matt. what i was trying to point out is that there are certain skins in dayz that give the toon a radio that is wearing that skin. i was pointing out that some to of the AI skins are those that have the radio with them. sorry if i didn't make my post clear. boxman80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungle Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 You could always add radios to the vendors buy list? Making them not so useless... I wanted to create a script once that used the radio to get information about missions spawns.. like in wasteland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungle Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Maca is doing some sweet things with radios.. http://dayzepoch.com/forum/index.php?/topic/420-helicopter-evac-possible-use-for-radios/ Lots of possibilities with them back as a toolbelt Item in the game. I would love to see Crash Sites and Supply Drops perhaps broadcast only to players with a radio as well. Also perhaps a single frequency for now tied to Global Chat and if possible more to come.

BetterDeadThanZed Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 In the DZAI system, supposedly you can set it so if a player kills an AI in a group and has a radio, they'll get messages from the other AI, indicating they're being hunted, but I haven't confirmed this because I don't have a radio and I don't know anyone that left an AI alive that was part of an AI group. They usually kill them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cen Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 On my overwatch server when you kill an AI and grab the radio you get messages broadcast by other AI that they are actively searching for you :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
