How do you enable a "join team of x player"?

[Flightster 10]

Hi guys,

I was wondering how I would go about making it possible for players to join the team of another?

I know Xeno's domination has this option, where a player would be able to go to the "show status" option, join a team and then markers would show up on screen indicating the position of all team mates..

I would like to do something like this, but I don't really know how.. I only want people to be able to join teams, not be able to change the settings (grass, view distance, etc).

The simple command to switch a unit / units into another team is "join": http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/join

For the Team Status Dialog as it is used in Domination I recommend this thread:

Awesome, thanks a lot :)

mmm..

I can't seem to get the team dialog to work properly.. I did everything according to the readme file, but I keep having issues while testing.

Problems:

- Buttons are without text (as in: close, join team, new TL, etc)

- I keep getting errors when I scroll - team status, those errors being: "No entry 'mpmission\__cur_mp.Chernarus\description.ext\ICE_ TeamStatusDialog\TSD9_Col_04_Row_01.ScrollBar' and (in chat) "MISSING STR_TSD9_* STRINGTABLE DATA"

Yes, I'm a noob.. And yes, I have no clue.. Anyone of you have any idea what I might be doing wrong and how to fix it, or is anyone (that knows / uses this) willing to send me a complete and working file? Any help will be greatly appreciated

No one?

Did you type each of those sections into the correct file?

As in:

Inside your description.ext file you should have:

#include "Scripts\TeamStatusDialog\TeamStatusDialog.hpp"

Inside your init.sqf you file you should have:

_Action = player addAction ["Team Status", "Scripts\TeamStatusDialog\TeamStatusDialog.sqf ", [["Page", "Team"], "AllowPlayerInvites"], 0, false, true,""];

In the stringtable.csv file in your main folder you need this:

// Team Status Dialog strings:
//Language,English,German
#include "Scripts\TeamStatusDialog\stringtable.csv"

And in the stringtable.csv inside Scripts\TeamStatusDialog folder you need this:

//Language,English,German

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Team Status Dialog strings:

If you had all of that in some random file, well, no it wouldn't work. But reading the instructions does wonders for getting this installed correctly, knowing what you're doing or not. :)

So, I feel like a tool.. I finally got it to work

I would like to indirectly thank Xeno, because if it's wasn't for unpacking his domination map in search of the answer I would still be sitting here scratching my head.. Truly some good work on making it work :)
