Description

Description:
From server machine, change the ownership of an object to a given client. Returns true if locality was changed.
Since Arma 3 v1.40, this command should not be used to transfer ownership of units with AI (agents are an exception to this rule). Using command in an unintended way will display an on-screen warning and log a message to .rpt file.
To transfer ownership of all AI units in a group properly, use setGroupOwner instead.
Groups:
Uncategorised

Syntax

Syntax:

Parameters:

clientID: Number - clientID of the new owner
Return Value:
Boolean

Examples

Example 1:
_someObject setOwner 12;
Example 2:
_someObject setOwner (owner _playerObject);

The ownership can only be given from server to client. For some reason the server cannot return ownership back with this command. This is fixed in Arma 3 1.40
