  1. brilliant! I love the game again!

    I opened my latest saved game with the Laza editor and, on the last node ("OnTeamSwitch") I added the following on the subnode "data":

    parameter: "value"

    value: "group _to selectLeader _to"

    and, on the subnode "type", I changed the value from "NOTHING" to "STRING"

    now whenever I switch to another team member he becomes the leader and not more annoyances =)

    hahahaha awesome to hear O'Hara giving the orders =)


  2. hi, I would like to bring this back on topic.

    I would like to switch the leader to the guy I just switched too. I think it is the same as the OP asked.

    I understand that onTeamSwitch I have to run the command:

    "group _to selectLeader _to"

    but where do it put this?

    I would like to install that on my current single player campaign. I edited the save file with Laza editor and I see a node in the tree which says "OnTeamSwitch" with subnodes "data" and "type". Do you guys how do I place this command there?

    Thanks a lot!

    after some testing just found the answer:

    I added the following on the subnode "data":

    parameter: "value"

    value: "group _to selectLeader _to"

    and, on the subnode "type", I changed the value from "NOTHING" to "STRING"

    now whenever I switch to another team member he becomes the leader.


  3. thanks for your reply mrcash,

    I understand that realism-wise you are not supposed to switch, but at the moment the AI is so dumb that the only workaround is switch to do the stuff ourselves.

    I think that (on single-player) we should retain the ability to give orders as a way to extra-corporeally impersonate the leader, instead of giving the control to the AI.

    I think Rainbow Six Raven Shield as an example of how this was perfectly implemented in my opinion.


  4. I would so much like the leader to take a nap while I switch to another guy.

    I hope the mod community create a mod to make switch leadership on team switch.

    thanks for the reply thridup, but the problem is not the chatter, but the AI undoing the orders I previously gave.


  5. I don't know if this is a bug, a suggestion, a mod request or just a rant, so in doubt I put this on general.

    I'm very annoyed that whenever I switch to another solder, the leader start doing annoying things instead of staying put and shut up.

    It happens quite often but two very important situations are when a divide my squad a carefully position the dudes where I want then to be, then if I have to switch to someone else, the stupid leader start shouting orders.

    Another situation is when I let the leader pilot the helicopter, then I position it where I want, turn auto-hover on and switch to the guy in the gun. Then the annoying son of a puta madre start moving the helicopter somewhere else.

    Sometimes I feel like the AI is doing that just to annoy me, but again it's probably just me being paranoid.

    Do you guys know about any option to turn off leader shouting order when I'm not controlling him? I remember that in Arma 1 this was less of a problem.
