Description

Description:

Set the texture of the given selection on all computers in a network session.
Not all objects can be textured this way. See getObjectTextures for supported texture selections.

ⓘ

All textures must have a resolution of 2^x / 2^y (e.g. 16x16, 16x32, 64x256, 512x32, etc). The largest texture size supported by the RV engine is 4096x4096.

Multiplayer:

The effect is JIP compatible.

⚠

Do not put global commands in an object's init field : see Multiplayer Scripting - Join In Progress note for the explanation.

Problems:

If executed from a vehicle's init field (going against the above note), execution may happen too early and fail to broadcast over the network and to be JIP compatible.

Groups:

Examples

Example 1:

// Set up a persistent texture keeper player addEventHandler ["Take", { (getObjectTextures player + [uniformContainer player getVariable "texture"]) params ["_texUniform", "_texInsignia", "_texCustom"]; if (isNil "_texCustom") exitWith {}; if (_texUniform == _texCustom) exitWith {}; player setObjectTextureGlobal [0, _texCustom]; false }]; // Example: make current uniform persistently blue private _texture = "#(rgb,8,8,3)color(0,0,1,1)"; // blue texture player setObjectTextureGlobal [0, _texture]; // set it on player uniformContainer player setVariable ["texture", _texture, true]; // store it on uniform

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:

private _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)"];
