Setting Color of Offroad?

[chaseh27 10]

Is it possible to set the color of the Offroad Trucks in the editor? Is there some sort of script maybe? I saw on Stratis Life you can choose what color truck you want.

[killzone_kid 1326]

not just color you can customise a lot of things. Look up in offroad folder in addons on how they did it

[chaseh27 10]

Thanks for the reply. What do you mean by "Look up in offroad folder in addons"?

For the animated states of the vehicle (set any of em to 0 to get it to show):

_this animate ["HidePolice", 1];
_this animate ["HideServices", 1];
_this animate ["HideBackpacks", 1];
_this animate ["HideBumper1", 1];
_this animate ["HideBumper2", 1];
_this animate ["HideConstruction", 1];
_this animate ["HideDoor1", 1]; 
_this animate ["HideDoor2", 1];
_this animate ["HideDoor3", 1];
_this animate ["HideGlass2", 1]; (Suppose Glass1 & 3 might also excist?)

And for the colors (change _rnd1 to prefered color. Not sure which is which):

_rnd1 = floor random 6;
_this setObjectTexture [0, ["\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\offroad_ext_co.paa", 
"\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\Offroad_ext_BASE01_CO.paa", 
"\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\Offroad_ext_BASE02_CO.paa", 
"\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\Offroad_ext_BASE03_CO.paa", 
"\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\Offroad_ext_BASE04_CO.paa",
"\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\Offroad_ext_BASE05_CO.paa"] select _rnd1 ];

_this setObjectTexture [1, ["\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\offroad_ext_co.paa", 
"\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\Offroad_ext_BASE01_CO.paa", 
"\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\Offroad_ext_BASE02_CO.paa", 
"\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\Offroad_ext_BASE03_CO.paa", 
"\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\Offroad_ext_BASE04_CO.paa", 
"\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\Offroad_ext_BASE05_CO.paa"] select _rnd1 ];

These only work local so you have to exec them on all clients.

I found these by extracting the init script of the offroad: "\A3\soft_F\Offroad\scripts\randomize.sqf".

I have no idea how to retrieve a list of animation states & textures. Searched to config files for these names but couldn't find any. Anyone can tell where to look?

Where am I putting these? I tried putting "_this animate ["HidePolice", 1];" in the Debug Console but I get "Error Generic error in expression".

use the vehicle name and not _this in the debug console - _this is a local variable that can only be used inside a script (and a few other places), but not in the editor

[lonewolf12 1]

so the init field of the vehicle?

[chaseh27 10]

So I name it car1 for example, and then put "car 1 animate ["HidePolice", 1]" in the debug?

[chaseh27 10]

Still can't get it to work.

[KevsNoTrev 44]

in the intitialisation of the vehicle refer it as "this"

[chaseh27 10]

Ok, so I got the Police lights on top of the car, but now I can't get the colors to work. I did the same thing as I did with the Police lights. Can someone please post an example for making the car white? Thank you

Oh, and also, if I wanted to create a mission where my friend and I play together over Internet, how do I make these customizations work? Right now, I have to go into the editor and preview the mission then go into the debug and execute it.

Shouldn't it work from the initialisation field in multiplayer, since it's run on every client?

Try putting this in the car's init field:

this animate ["HidePolice", 0]; this setObjectTexture [0, "\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\Offroad_ext_BASE02_CO.paa"]; this setObjectTexture [1, "\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\Offroad_ext_BASE02_CO.paa"];  

Change the number in BASE01 to change between colours. 02 is white, according to Larrow's post, so I put it there.

Anyone can shed some light on how to retrieve all the animstates/textures of an object?

[chaseh27 10]

Well, I have to enable it from the debug console while in-game and there isn't one in multiplayer, only in the editor. Also, is there a reason that you put the "set object texture" twice in your code example?

[mindstorm 8]

_this setObjectTexture [0 <-- vehicle color

_this setObjectTexture [1 <-- wheels, iron bars and other stuffs

For mission put this in init of a vehicle:

this animate ["HidePolice", 0];

this <--- is the vehicle object inside a init.

Then export your mission to MP and go to main menu and create game with the mission.

Double click on the car, there's a huge box that reads "INITIALIZATION" next to it. Copy the code into that. No need for the debug console.

Okay, correction incoming (I should've tested this myself instead of assuming stuff). animate and setObjectTexture do not work through object initialization. Here's another way:

1. Name the car as something (the field above initialisation), in this case I used policeoffroad

2. Create a new trigger (F3 -> double click somewhere)

3. Write "true" as the condition (instead of the original "this")

4. Add this into the trigger's On Act. field:

policeoffroad animate ["HidePolice", 0]; policeoffroad setObjectTexture [0, "\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\Offroad_ext_BASE02_CO.paa"]; policeoffroad setObjectTexture [1, "\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\Offroad_ext_BASE02_CO.paa"];

This works for me, at least. Sorry for the confusion.

[Larrow 2792]

Use this in the vehicles init box

handle = this spawn {
sleep 0.1;
_this animate ["HidePolice", 0];
_this setObjectTexture [0, "\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\Offroad_ext_BASE02_CO.paa"];
_this setObjectTexture [1, "\A3\soft_F\Offroad\Data\Offroad_ext_BASE02_CO.paa"];
};

Just gives the vehicle a little pause before apply the changes allowing the randomisation script that BIS has placed on the vehicle time to finish before applying your changes

[[GLT] Legislator 59]

This is absolutely awesome! And it's also very easy to use!

I just wrote a function for an easy offroad setup. Here's a preview ...

handle = this spawn {sleep 0.1; [unit1_Offroad, "black", "police", "no_backpack", "bumper2", "construction", []] call GLT_fnc_Offroad;};

Every combination is possible. I will definately include this function into my next mod update.

[chaseh27 10]

Oh ok, thank you all.

[KevsNoTrev 44]

did anyone figure how to make the police lights go?

[soolie 189]

Hey guys thanks for all the good tips. I figured it out and made a tutorial along with a script for easy customization. Check it out here http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?156276-Customize-Off-roads!-Tutorial-with-Video

is it possible to have a hardtop on the back of these?

Vehicle spawns with the body invisible?

All the vehicle textures changed with the last classname changes
