TEAMSWITCH

[Julian]

Hi all, don't know if been asked yet, but I see the Teamswitch in the control menu, and set it for a key I like but when I press the coresponding key you don't switch to another AI in the game.
Anybody Know how Teamswitch works, and how to use it?

Thanks

it should be inplemented in the mission/campaign to switch to another character. haven't tested it though, nice to know it's a key to use, started the campaign and second campaign had multiple missions, but I was waiting for some option in screen somewhere http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/whistle.gif

I use the editor more than anything, I like creating my own missions, but don't know how teamswitch is setup, someone else with Arma has got to know, Anyone? http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/huh.gif

Add units as playable maybe?

Yes, thats how it is done.

Use

to make a unit switchable, so the player can switch to that unit. If you don't want that he can switch to it, use


Quote[/b] ]RemoveSwitchableUnit Red4_UnittoSwitch01

"Red4_UnittoSwitch01" is the name of the unit to switch http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif

Then the question should have been asked in the mission editing forum.

Thanks for your help guys, I figured it out the ai in your squad have to be playable, and when you have a teamswitch set to a key you like, press that key and a window pops up showing you a list of members in your squad, you can view each member also. then click on the member and your him.
There is a bug I noticed, after using the teamswitch a couple of the members won't move from there spot if you tell them to move somewhere, going to report it on the wiki.

Thanks all

I can confirm that bug. Switching between playable units make them NOT respond to command anymore, so this bug in fact makes the whole thing useless!!! (tried it only in 'preview' mode)
