How do you get the vest textured, not the uniform? (In Editor)

[Ranwer135 308]

Hello guys,

I'm having some trouble previewing a texture on a vest in the editor.

Now, the problem is that when I add the: this setObjectTexture [0,"vest.paa"]

It only textures the character's uniform, not the vest. :confused:

It would be great if someone could help me get this problem fixed.

It doesn't seem to be possible to use a non-addon method for retexturing vests, as it needs an object reference. (vest unit returns a string). Same with uniform. Re-texturing the actual unit is equal to re-texturing the uniform though.

Im having a similar issue where i can set textures objects like vehicles or players as i can get the actual object for a player or vehicle but for things like vest, helmet etc i cant since functions like "vest" only returns a string not an object

can anyone point me on the right track if this is even possible?

PS: sry for replaying in such an old post for since im new i cant open new threads :(

The only possibilety to retexture a vest/Helmet is by reconfiguring it.

The only possibilety to retexture a vest/Helmet is by reconfiguring it.

but reconfiguring it requires modding correct?

Correct.
