How can I hange units names

[Purzel 35]

Hi there,

how do I change the units names from e.g. "Alpha 1-3" to another name like "Eyeball 1-1" for a sniper-team, etc ...?

It should work in MP, so every group has an own unique name.

thanks for your help.

You actually can't change those names in the role selection screen.

You can however change the description to the name you want. When you place a unit, its under the INIT box.

Not sure about groups, but here's how you change names... misread your post at first so sorry if useless info

In your description.ext:

class CfgIdentities{
   class moe
   {
       name = "Moe";
       face = "WhiteHead_02";
       glasses= "None";
       speaker = "Male08_F";
       pitch = .9;
   };
   class larry
   {
       name = "Larry";
       face = "WhiteHead_03";
       glasses= "None";
       speaker = "Male07_F";
       pitch = .95;
   };
   class curly
   {
       name = "Curly";
       face = "WhiteHead_04";
       glasses= "None";
       speaker = "Male06_F";
       pitch = 1;
   };
};

In unit init:

this setidentity "moe";

or in init.sqf:

unit_1 [i][b](or whatever unit name)[/b][/i] setidentity "moe";

these are two ways I know of...

Thanks a lot.

I actually forgot to say, that I know how to change the units names itself.

I just needed the way to change the group names (Alpha 1-1, etc.), but it does unfortunatly not work.
