STHUD Icon Change

[kerozen 186]

I'm trying to make a little script to change classes ingame. IE: Team Leader to Medic.

 

This is the code i use to change to the medic class:

Cmedic = {

player setVariable ["ACE_IsEngineer",0,true];
player setVariable ["ACE_isEOD",0,true];
player setVariable ["ace_medical_medicClass",1,true];
call CLimp;
};

This script works but the icon in STHUD doesn't change.

 

I've tried using:

player setUnitTrait ["Medic",true];

And it also didn't work. Does anyone know how i can do it?

Since STHUD checks config values "engineer" and "attendant" you'll probably have to change the class of the unit itself. The only 'dynamic' class change happening are AT and MG types as they check the "UIPicture" config value of the players weapon. 

The reason your version doesn't work is because config values can't be changed of a unit (class) can't be changed mid-mission, since they're already loaded in.

 

Actually the above is no longer true for latest STUI version (which includes STHUD). It's now switched over to using pictures directly, and there's no longer a special icon for EOD/Engineers. They've also added a specific override value to make a unit an attendant:

player setVariable ["isatd_", typeOf(_unit)];

Try setting that variable instead.

 

MG and AT are still determined by checking value "UIPicture" of primary and secondary weapon respectively.

Do you know how to change the class of the unit with a script?
