setObjectTexture

[dvargar 0]

So with these new VR suits having colourable stripes I'm trying to make units have setObjectTexture applied to them and it seems to be only be local, every player can see their own avatar be the correct colour but everyone else appears with white stripes.

Right now it's set up in the same script where the unit gets their weapons and kit and the unit gets all the correct equipment when respawning.

_unit adduniform "U_B_Protagonist_VR";
_unit setObjectTexture [0,'#(rgb,8,8,3)color(1,0,0,1)'];

The following is in the init field of the unit.

[this] call compile preprocessFile "VRRED.sqf"; this  addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_this execVM "VRRED.sqf"}];

The first part is how I normally load loadout scripts for my MP missions. The second part loads the same script again but locally I guess?

Would making it run server-side do it?

If so how do I go about doing that?

Run on the server:

_unit setObjectTextureGlobal [0,'#(rgb,8,8,3)color(1,0,0,1)'];

I thought I was.

Not very good with MP scripting.

What's wrong in my code?

I'm guessing that setObjectTexture has local effect, where setObjectTextureGlobal has global, net synched effect.

Wow, actually didn't spot the added Global at the end, focused on the first part.

That's what you get for being tired.

Switched to

_unit setObjectTextureGlobal [0,'#(rgb,8,8,3)color(1,0,0,1)']

in the script but players still see eachother as white when they have respawned.

Is it the way I load the respawn gear script that's causing it?

[Tiskahar 10]

I'm not sure if this is causing your issue or not but; uniforms are side restricted. I.e. side WEST cannot wear side EAST uniforms, etc. Players are usually exempt from this rule but it can still cause strange issues.

Put this as each unit's init in the editor.

this setObjectTextureGlobal [0,'#(rgb,8,8,3)color(1,0,0,1)'];this addMPEventhandler ["MPRespawn",{_this setObjectTextureGlobal [0,'#(rgb,8,8,3)color(1,0,0,1)'];

Hello,
How to use this function on the laptop item?
My idea is to create a script, two images that appear in the background.

 

little apprentice in script...

If the laptop does have a texture you can change then you just need to use setObjectTexture on it.

_laptop setObjectTexture [0,"your/path/to/texture.paa"];

This will run locally on all those who run it. If you want to ensure all players see the same, add Global after Texture (as per example earlier in post) and ensure it only runs on server (or one client).
