squad url ranks in game

[Captain Epic 14]

Hey all !

I've been trying to figure out how can I make squad URL which includes ranks, that apply into the game.

what I mean is, that when a person is registered to the squad.xml, his rank(private, corporel, etc.) would be on his shoulder, in game.

 

Is there a script or an addon for that?

 

thanks !

Since shoulder insignias have to be defined in the description.ext (for whatever reason, setobjecttexture works just fine without it) I doubt this is actually possible.

But what do I know?

 

Cheers

this mod is doing as I said.

My question is this: is there a way to set my own ranks, using my own ranking system, and not using this addon

Here's the documentation for that system.

class CfgUnitInsignia
{
	class wxotixCustomRank
	{
		displayName = "Cult of wxotix"; // Name displayed in Arsenal
		author = "wxotix"; // Author displayed in Arsenal
		texture = "wxoCustomRank_texture.paa"; // Image path 128x128
		textureVehicle = ""; // Does nothing currently, reserved for future use
	};
};

};

I want it to change according to the player who joins a slot.

I mean if a sergeant joins spesific slot or a corporel, it will change the Insignia to their's rank

So you'd set your available ranks in description.ext as above.  Then you'd detect the rank of whatever user however you want and use this command to activate their insignia:

[player,"wxotixCustomRank"] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia;

Replacing player with this or _this or whatever you used to grab the new object and replacing "wxotixCustomRank" with whatever class you created for whatever rank you wanted to display.
