Note

When the transmitting unit gets killed, the transmission is interrupted. However when the receiving unit gets killed, the transmission continues to play.

To transmit user custom sounds (see Multiplayer Custom Sounds Tutorial), prefix the full filename including file extension with #. For example if there is a custom user sound file called MySound.ogg, to play it on the radio use:

player groupRadio "#MySound.ogg";
