Switching player/squad leader during co-op multiplayer with AI

Recommended Posts

Hello.

I'm very keen to get get this game to play online co-op with my Dad but having seen it played a while back and not really being able to find any information, I'm a bit reluctant to take the plunge.

I want to be able for each of us to be able to switch players whenever we want, whilst playing with the AI. An example would be to temporarily switch to an AT gunner to knock out armour but then be able to switch back to a marksman.

I know I can edit missions and kit everyone out how I want but I'd still like to babysit the team if possible.

Also, there seems to be a pretty bad bug: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=4465 which stops proper control of the AI.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible, whether using mods or whatever to be able to nominate a player to always remain in control of the AI, regardless of their rank in the mission?

In the bug above, one player could command the AI but they would follow the other player...this breaks the game for my requirments if it hasn't been patched out.

Thanks very much.

I'm not sure if this would help here.

When you switch to another unit it will make you the leader, I think the AI should carry on as normal if you switch to another group and not stop as they do by default.

So can you actually team switch in co-op? I've searched and couldn't really find a definitive answer.

If you have one, four man team can you switch between members or do you have to switch between leaders of different teams?

I haven't tried it in MP, You can pretty much do what you want in sp using onteamswitch I think it should work in MP.

As long as the unit is playable onteamswitch just executes whatever code is in the quotes.
