Using SetObjectTexture and bis fnc mp together

[lkincheloe 12]

In my mission I want the players to be able to use a repair script to "re-paint" captured enemy vehicles in a custom texture in order to differentiate them from non-captured vehicles. To do this I've been using SetObjectTexture within repair scripts to achieve this, however this is only done locally on the client initiating the script so it looks the same to everyone else.

I've been trying to fix this by going through BIS_fnc_MP, but I get a rather vague "cannot find script" error when it reaches the call in the repair script. I suspect it's something silly I'm doing so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction

Here's the piece of code I'm using to call the function:

[[_oVehicle,"paint_vehicle.sqf"],"BIS_fnc_execVM",true,true] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;

and here's paint_vehicle.sqf, which currently is in the same folder as the script calling the function:

_vehicle = this select 0;

_vehicle setObjectTexture [0,"ambience\modules\images\fia_camo.paa"];

_vehicle setObjectTexture [1,"ambience\modules\images\fia_camo.paa"];

_vehicle setObjectTexture [2,"ambience\modules\images\fia_camo.paa"];

Any suggestions?

Setobjecttextureglobal might be worth looking at.

Yea, it was added to solve solve the problem the OP is having. By making it easier to use custom textures in multiplayer.

And I believe the JIP compatibility problem on the wiki is old news. I recall it was fixed a while ago on the dev branch, but not sure if it made it to the regular branch yet.

The only hitch I've found so far is it doesn't carry over on respawn, but in my case I only have a small handful of those so it's easy to correct on a per-case basis.

Thanks for the assist all. :)
