Removed link for obsolete faces and uploaded new 1.08 face reference plus tutorial.
You can download it here
or go to the Biki SetFace page and download it from there.

Since this question is coming up over an over again:

To have access to more objects than the ones available in the editor you need an "Editor Update".

There exist two versions:

* 6thSense.eu's EditorUpdate, which give you access to objects that already have class names, and are just not listed in the editor (about 400 objects).

* EditorUpdate 1.02 by LowFly, which creates custom classes for every object in ArmA (over 1,000 objects).
This update has to be treated like a custom addon, i.e. if you are using objects from this update in your mission people will need to have this update installed as well to play it. (This is not the case with the first, smaller update).

What is the database name for West officers?

[ManDay]

Procedure:

Open Arma, Start Editor, Place an Officer, Save the mission, Take a look into the mission.sqm

Or

Open Arma, Start Editor, Place an Officer, Place a 'hint format["%1",typeOf this];' in the Initline.

=> OfficerW

E: But what are you asking for? Do you have your eyes closed while browsing the Biki?

Added an online gallery of Arma 1.08 faces to spare people from downloading the whole set if they are just looking to get the names of some faces.
You can browse all Arma 1.08 faces at the Arma faces gallery

Giving the player the ability to switch units (known as team switch) is pretty simple in Armed Assault, and requires only a very basic knowledge of the scripting language.
Commands
There are several commands associated with this feature:
- enableTeamSwitch
- addSwitchableUnit
- teamSwitch
- teamSwitchEnabled
- selectPlayer
- setPlayable
- switchableUnits
- removeSwitchableUnit

addSwitchableUnit:
Adds a single unit to team switch
eg: addSwitchableUnit aP

enableTeamSwitch:
This turns team switch on.
eg: enableTeamSwitch true

teamSwitch
Forces the team switch dialog to appear.
eg: teamSwitch

teamSwitchEnabled
Check if team switch has been turned on.
eg: ?(teamSwitchEnabled) : teamSwitch

selectPlayer
Forces a player to switch to a specific unit.
eg: selectPlayer aP

setPlayable
Makes a unit playable, therefore, entering them into an array of switchable units.
eg: setPlayable aP
note: playable units can also be set in the editor, in the control drop down menu when placing a unit.

switchableUnits
Returns an array of all units eligible for teamswitch.
eg: _x = switchableUnits

removeSwitchableUnit
Removes a unit from the array of switchable units.
eg: removeSwitchableUnit ap

Possibilities
This new features adds quite a few possibilities to the game other than the obvious switching of roles when you die. This feature allows something that many mission creators
begged and wished for in Operation Flashpoint, the ability to change clothes in game.
Have you ever wished you could sneak through a town dressed as a civilian, and then pick up a gun and a uniform when you meet your comrades? Have you ever wished you could take that big, cumbersome ghillie suit off while in town? Have you ever wished you could steal the uniform of a dead foe and pretend to be one of their kind? Well, now you can, and, for all you realists out there, team switch can be disabled on death. So you don't have to worry about switching into other peoples bodies when you die.

Disabling Team Switch On Death
Team switch can be used purely as a role or uniform changing feature. If you wish to allow changing of uniforms or roles without giving the player the advantage of having multiple
lives, there is a simple trick to make this possible.
Create a trigger, change nothing other than the condition and onActivation fields.
In the condition field type: !(alive player)
In the onActivation field type: enableTeamSwitch false
Now you can switch clothes without switching lives.

So does this "uniform-switching" work in MP games? I haven't heard of this before, but it sounds very interesting.

What would a basic script to run something like this look like? Anyone have an example script?

teamswitch does not work in MP. In my CTI mission I give the illusion of it working by allowing the user to switch spots & weapons with their squad AI. The user model doesn't change though.
