_unit [[setObjectTextureGlobal]] [_index, ""];
};
</code>
<code>[player] [[call]] fnc_removeUnitInsignia</code>
<br/>
The second way would be to create an empty cfgUnitInsignia class in the description.ext:
<br/>
<code>class CfgUnitInsignia
{
class empty
{
author = "";
displayName = "";
texture = "";
};
};
};</code>
}];
And then run it the normal way:
</sqf>
<code>[player, "empty"] [[call]] [[BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia]]</code>
Notice that the previous insignia has been '''cleared''' first to make the change happen (possibly a bug as of {{arma3}} v2.05)

In Arma 3: Unit Insignia, you can read:
«
« You can add a new insignia in Config.cpp and Description.ext. »

If it is possible to add a cfgUnitInsignia class in a description.ext, please note that the path of the texture differs for server and client in MP environment. Config.cpp (addon) is more reliable. Description.ext, in this case, should be used for SP mission only.
This function calls setObjectTextureGlobal, which is a broken command in MP (see feedback tracker) August 2016.

To set the insignia after respawn, add this code to initPlayerLocal.sqf
params ["_player"]; _player addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", { params ["_unit", "_corpse"]; private _insignia = [_corpse] call BIS_fnc_getUnitInsignia; [_unit, _insignia] spawn { params ["_unit", "_insignia"]; sleep 1; isNil { _unit setVariable ["BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia_class", nil]; // you can also do [_unit, ""] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia, but this way is faster (plus no network traffic) [_unit, _insignia] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia; }; }; }];
Notice that the previous insignia has been cleared first to make the change happen (possibly a bug as of Arma 3 v2.05)
