Setobjecttexture Not Visible on Multiplayer for Clients

setObjectTexture is local, so every client in MP would need to run the command in order to see what you want them to see.

It's best to put in the initialization box of each unit you place in the editor.

In case you need to do it after the mission starts:

_unit setVehicleInit "this setObjectTexture [0, 'texture.paa']";

processInitCommands;

In case you need to do it after the mission starts:

_unit setVehicleInit "this setObjectTexture [0, 'texture.paa']";

processInitCommands;

that command is obsolete.

In the 2D editor what ever object texture you want to change. http://i.imgur.com/V1SUsHp.jpg You only have to do it once because all clients will have to run every init of every object when they connect. This will make your code global to all who connect.

When someone respawns I think it's a totally new unit. So it won't have the setObjectTexture I'm not 100% sure about this. I remember having this issue with the vehicles re spawning and for the code I had to put the init all over again.

veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, FALSE, "this setDammage 0.5"] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

notice the *this setDammage 0.5". That is the init commands that would be put on the vehicle onced it respawned because it is a new vehicle because the old one is deleted. By the way this code won't work unless you have the file don't try to copy this code thinking it will work. Now if you are still having trouble with everyone seeing the object try this command.

[[{this setobjecttexture [0,"texture.paa"];}],"BIS_fnc_Spawn",true,true] call BIS_fnc_MP;

put this code inside the init box of the object. If that doesn't work maybe it is still a bug that has already been reported to the feedback tracker.

Hearing some worrying things from people saying it's not possible to have setobjecttexture as global? Please tell me that's not true! :p

Yup, that's what I told you 7 minutes after you started this thread. :) Johnson posted an example of how to run it on all clients just above your latest post.

It is possible for them to be global. They just need to be ran on everybody so everyone will see the same thing. I might release a set of functions that people can use to run stuff on all clients a bit later...

EDIT:

function needs to be ran before anything else:

fn_objecttexture =
{
_unit = _this select 0;
_texture = _this select 1;
_unit setobjecttexture _texture;
};

how to call it:

[[player,[0,'textures\police.jpg']], "fn_objecttexture",nil,false] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;

--unit to run on -- texture -- function to call

Never been a global command.

Partly because the textures can be use ONLY client side.

You just need a "monitor" client script that swaps textures whenever the server changes them. Cascade out.

Use code/php tags around code samples and look into using BIS_fnc_addWeapon :)

So okay; here's what I've got: this setobjecttexture [0,"Altis_Camouflage_01.paa"]; nul = [this, [0,"Altis_Camouflage_01.paa"]] execVM "textureDisplay.sqf"; and then an .sqf file with:

_unit = _this select 0;

_texture = _this select 1;

_unit setObjectTexture _texture;

Now, what this does is it enables AI uniforms to be seen on multiplayer. But the players' are still not showing up - where am I going wrong? Ignore the double "" in this, but essentially it is what I've got: removeheadgear this; removevest this; removeuniform this; this addVest ""V_PlateCarrier2_rgr""; this addHeadgear ""H_HelmetB""; this adduniform ""U_I_CombatUniform""; this setobjecttexture [0,""NRF_US_Ranger_ACU_Empty.paa""]; nul = [this, [0,""NRF_US_Ranger_ACU_Empty.paa""]] execVM ""textureDisplay.sqf""; this unassignitem ""NVGoggles"";";

};

};

An example of the full code is: init="if(local this) then { removeallweapons this; removeheadgear this; removevest this; removebackpack this; removeUniform this; this unassignItem ""NVGoggles""; this removeItem ""NVGoggles""; this unassignItem ""ItemMap""; this removeItem ""ItemMap""; this unassignItem ""ItemGPS""; this removeItem ""ItemGPS""; this addUniform ""U_I_CombatUniform""; this setobjecttexture [0,""NRF_US_Ranger_ACU_Empty.paa""]; nul = [this, [0,""NRF_US_Ranger_ACU_Empty.paa""]] execVM ""textureDisplay.sqf""; this addVest ""V_TacVest_oli""; this addHeadgear ""H_HelmetCrew_I""; this addGoggles ""G_Combat""; this addWeapon ""rangefinder""; this addMagazine [""30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer"", 30]; this addMagazine [""30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer"", 30]; this addMagazine [""30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer"", 30]; this addMagazine [""30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer"", 30]; this addMagazine [""30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer"", 30]; this addMagazine [""30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer"", 30]; this addMagazine [""30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer"", 30]; this addMagazine [""SmokeShellBlue"", 30]; this addMagazine [""SmokeShellBlue"", 30]; this addMagazine [""SmokeShellBlue"", 30]; this addMagazine [""SmokeShellGreen"", 30]; this addMagazine [""SmokeShellGreen"", 30]; this addMagazine [""SmokeShellGreen"", 30]; this addWeapon ""arifle_MXC_F""; this addPrimaryWeaponItem ""optic_ACO_grn""; };";

:/ no no no. You need to run it through BIS_fnc_MP in MP for everybody to see it. Your running the same command on the same player just for everybody instead of just him so everybody sees the same thing.

run this in init.sqf or another SQF that loads before anything else.

fn_objecttexture = 
{
_unit = _this select 0;
_texture = _this select 1;
_unit setobjecttexture [_texture];
};

then call it from another script with BIS_fnc_MP.

This may confuse the game with the extra comma inside the variables, if so, post here again and i'll change it around so it works.

[[player,0,'path,to,jpeg'],"fn_objecttexture",nil,false] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;

Use austin_medic's idea for changing the textures and you can compress your loadout down to this:

removeAllAssignedItems this; 
removeAllWeapons this; 
removeAllContainers this;

this addUniform "U_I_CombatUniform"; 
this addVest "V_TacVest_oli"; 
this addHeadgear "H_HelmetCrew_I"; 
this addGoggles "G_Combat"; 
this addWeapon "Rangefinder"; 

this addMagazines ["SmokeShellBlue", 3]; 
this addMagazines ["SmokeShellGreen", 3]; 
_muzzle = [this, "arifle_MXC_ACO_F", 7, "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer"] call BIS_fnc_addWeapon;

instead of this:

removeallweapons this;
removeheadgear this;
removevest this;
removebackpack this;
removeUniform this;
this unassignItem "NVGoggles";
this removeItem "NVGoggles";
this unassignItem "ItemMap";
this removeItem "ItemMap";
this unassignItem "ItemGPS";
this removeItem "ItemGPS";
this addUniform "U_I_CombatUniform";
this addVest "V_TacVest_oli";
this addHeadgear "H_HelmetCrew_I";
this addGoggles "G_Combat";
this addWeapon "rangefinder";
this addMagazine ["30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer", 30];
this addMagazine ["30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer", 30];
this addMagazine ["30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer", 30];
this addMagazine ["30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer", 30];
this addMagazine ["30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer", 30];
this addMagazine ["30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer", 30];
this addMagazine ["30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer", 30];
this addMagazine ["SmokeShellBlue", 30];
this addMagazine ["SmokeShellBlue", 30];
this addMagazine ["SmokeShellBlue", 30];
this addMagazine ["SmokeShellGreen", 30];
this addMagazine ["SmokeShellGreen", 30];
this addMagazine ["SmokeShellGreen", 30];
this addWeapon "arifle_MXC_F";
this addPrimaryWeaponItem "optic_ACO_grn";

add me on steam (austin_medic) and I'll probably be able to help you better there. I'll this myself and see if it works for me...
