setobjecttexture on building

[[aps]gnat 28]

Trying to change the color of a named section ("X") of a building like;

_building setobjecttexture[0, "\GNT_Alpha\gfx\LightBlue.paa"]

Doesnt work

The config is like this;

Quote[/b] ]class CfgPatches

{

class GNTAlpha

{

units[] = {GNTbA};

weapons[] = {};

requiredVersion = 1.75;

};

};

class CfgModels

{

class Default {};

class Building: default {};

class bA : Building

{

sectionsInherit="";

sections[] = {"X"};

};

};

class CfgAmmo

{};

class CfgWeapons

{};

class CfgVehicles

{

class All {};

class Static: All {};

class Fortress: Static {};

class Building: Static {};

class NonStrategic: Building {};

class Strategic: Building {};

class GNTbA: Strategic

{

displayName="Building A";

hiddenselections[] ={"X"};

cost=1000;

accuracy=1000;

vehicleClass = "GNT Alpha";

side=TCivilian;

simulation="house";

icon = "\GNT_Alpha\gfx\Ai";

armor=30000;

scope=2;

model="\GNT_Alpha\bA";

destrType="DestructEngine";

};

Any ideas whats wrong ?

Has someone done a changable Billboard or Sign that maybe I can learn from?

setobjecttexture only works on vehicles.

Probably because you define the addon as a building in cfgmodels

hmmmmmmm .... bugger .... thats going to be a problem. *thinking*

Thx Bratty

you can use the same method as the billboards, i know ya gonna hate me for this, but i cant find them, i used to use there set object texture to play movies on them, look for either lcd screen addon or billboard sorry for vagueness. btw setobject texture is not just for vehicles it works on flags too

If you define your building as Thing, setObjectTexture should work.

I read this somewhere here, wait a second.... *presssearchbutton*

Here it is.

It should work for mission placed buildings if you follow the directions above. Mapplaced buildings are only possible in VBS1.

Thanks TD, nice find but I had tried "Thing" during the testing and I did find;

-It reversed my models (not a big deal)

-Made the letters fall over and lay about oddly on the landscape (big deal)

reversed=false;

Have you tried using class target, Gnat?
