Did you try something like :

Whoa... and I used add-ons for this for over a decade... It's true, after all. You learn something new all the time!

Well i'm not sure it works. I guess it worked in the early time of OFP, but not sure if it does now ! I'm always using the addon way.

I'll have to try it out later today.

hi,

Same here, I didn't know you could setFace a unit without a face addon (CfgFaces). I will give it a try.

EDIT: Just tested and it doesn't work. I think it works only with flags.

cya.

Oh, I see - thanks for letting us know. Didn't get to fire up the game today myself, yet.

Doesn't surprise me. After a little more search on older forums, it seems that this was due to some confusion with the setflagtexture command, and with the custom player face (which has to be in the user folder).
