Squad logo used by AI?

[Gekkibi 11]

Short & simple: Is it possible to make AI units use a squad logo (I mean the .paa in the same folder as squad.xml)?

hmm. not sure about that one

if you know the section name there maybe a way with setObjectTexture

check out http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setObjectTexture

and report back if you get it working :)

oh and you can not use the paa file thats located on your server. you need to copy it to the mission dir

Thank you for your quick reply.

Haven't found the right selection number, but at least I know I am in the right tracks now (I was able to "paint" the hull of a tank to the color of the logo). I will re-reply if I find the right number.

Edit: I unPBOed and opened the config file. The right selection number for ACE M1A1 (desert) is 14, but when I tried that nothing happened. I started to paint different areas of the tank with different color by using RGBA and found out that I have only 5 diffent areas (0-4). With numbers bigger than 5 has no effect.

Edit^2: I just proved my stupidity by placing non-transparent textures over each other. There is still hope I will find the right number. :)

Update: I made while-loop that went through numbers between 0-499 and colored the area red. Unfortunately there was no selection number for squad logo (However now I know how to make red vehicles without creating an addon. After all, red one goes fastah).

If anyone has other ideas I am anxious to test them.
