Description

Description:

Set the texture of the given selection on all computers in a network session.

NOTES:

• Do not put global commands such this one into init field in editor and expect it to work in Multiplayer. See Talk:setObjectTextureGlobal for the explanation.
• Not all objects could be textured this way. To find out, run getObjectTextures command on an object. Empty array [] usually indicates it cannot be textured.
• All textures must have resolution 2^x / 2^y (e.g. 16 / 16, 16 / 32, 64 / 256, 512 / 512, etc). The largest texture size commonly supported by graphics cards and RV engine is 4096x4096

The effect is persistent and will be synchronized for players who join in progress. (Tested with Arma 3 v1.40)

In some cases the ".paa" files do not work. Instead you can try ".jpg" files.

Sometimes it could be necessary to set default material on an object for the texture to take effect: _block = createVehicle ["Land_VR_Block_02_F", player getPos [20, getDir player], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; _block setObjectMaterialGlobal [0, "\a3\data_f\default.rvmat"]; _block setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "#(rgb,8,8,3)color(1,0,0,1)"]; Courtesy of Larrow
