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

This command is not really JIP compatible. On Hosted server: this setObjectTextureGlobal [0,"mypaafile.paa"]; // fails. The texture disappears and a warning message: //Cannot load texture mpmissions\__cur_mp.yourWorld\mypaafile.paa.is displayed. if (isServer) then {this setObjectTextureGlobal [0,"mypaafile.paa"]}; // only works on (hosted) server At this time (Arma III v 1.64), it's preferable to remote the local command in the init field of the object: if (isServer) then {[this,[0,"mypaafile.paa"]] remoteExec ["setObjectTexture,0,true]}; // works for hosted server and JIP clients
