set identity issue

[D1Z4STR 1]

Trying to change a characters name for ingame units instead of generic names. I tried the this setIdentity "name"; in the initilization area and it doesnt do anything. I also tried typing a name in the description box and it doesnt work. Can someone help?

If you expect help from others, you could at least provide all the information required like what your description.ext looks like...

From what you've said it sounds like you didn't make a "description.ext" file at all. SetIdentity reads from there, so to set a unit's name to something, you'd need to make a description and type something like this:

class CfgIdentities
{
   class Ash_Williams
   {
       name = "Bruce Campbell";
       face = "Face20";
       glasses = "Delta_glasses";
       speaker = "Dan";
       pitch = 0.1;
   };
};

Which means that you would put the following code in the unit's init field:

this setIdentity "Ash_Williams"

If

this setIdentity "Ash_Williams"

will not work, give that unit in editor name for example unit1 and in init write

unit1 setIdentity "Ash_Williams"
