Script for consistant vehicle skin?

[nullrick 10]

Like the Offroad trucks and other civ vehicles, there are several different skins with different color schemes and designs.

How could I make, or is there even a script that would allow me to place down a vehicle in the editor, like the new M-900 civ helos in the latest dev branch, and with every restart of the mission have a consistantly recuring skin for the helo?

[iceman77 18]

this setVariable ["BIS_enableRandomization",false]; // default texture

Or set the vehicle's (custom) texture at mission start with setObjectTextureGlobal.

Thanks for all the help! Are any of these supposed to work with other vehicles as well? For instance, the Huron? I see it only has the two green or black camos/skins.

Shouldn't the "" this setVariable ["color",1-2]; "" work? It's not if it is supposed to.

In programming everything starts at 0, not 1, could be part of the issue.

So it would be:

this setVariable ["color", 0-1];
