GHOST RECON style gameplay

[stingfish74 0]

hey guys.

remember ghost recon 1, desert siege, and island thunder?

Well ARMA allows us to SWITCH PLAYER during SP gameplay when your unit dies... can't we allow SWITCH PLAYER while we are still alive? like ghost recon?

For example, i would like a team of 5 units. during my mission, i would like to command all to HOLD POS (so they don't move) then cycle through each unit and place them in a specific location (like spreading them) then cycle back to my commander unit and command them to attack/advance on a point on the map. (may be leaving a sniper on hold to cover)

i think this will enhance gameplay, and allow us to better aline our units during strategic situations.

thoughts? if this is already possible, please tell me how. but i think we have enough talent in this community to have a veteran scripter make this possible.

think of the replay value you just added to missions. face it, the AI is good, but not fantastic and sometimes we are better off manually moving them into a specific position.

anyone for the challenge? i can help test or whatever. please share thoughts and possibilities, all is welcome.

Maybe a few units playable, then check your keyboard settings and find the switch player key.
