Make radio support action available to player when spawning into next playab...

...le unit

I placed the Radio Support module in a mission in editor. All units in my squad are playable. When I play the mission Radio Support action is available and working for initial Player. When player killed, I switch into another playable unit. This unit does NOT have Radio Support action. How do I make Radio Support action available for any unit player switches to (or is switched to automatically if using Group Respawn)?

Are all the playable units an RTO, and have the proper radio backpacks?

If so, have you tried just switching units without the initial Player being killed to see if they have the radio support option?

In my experience, Group Respawn is notoriously bad for transferring any kind of function.
Radio Support, Support Request (Vanilla game), High Command etc.
This has been the case since ArmA2.

There are workarounds, I remember managing a script that transferred High Command in ArmA2, but it wasn't super easy.
You had to "createUnit" new modules via a script and synch them correctly to the new units, and repeat the process after every death.
For OK transfer of these type of functions to a new unit after respawn, I would recommend using regular respawn (with respawn positions).
Not as immersive in my opinion, but it works better technically.

Someone might have a good workaround, but I haven't found one yet.

Thanks [MENTION=371]stburr91[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1131]Laggy[/MENTION]. Thanks to PierreMGI's help I was able to solve this with a loop in the init.sqf that checks if player has the Radio Support action, and if not adds it. See the details in this BI Forums thread.
