In MP this command has only local effect. If you want to change a texture on all clients, you have to execute this command on each client (or setObjectTextureGlobal). This command has also a bug: when a saved game is loaded the texture you have set will disappear and needs to be reset.

Instead of bitmaps, procedural textures can be used.
The syntax for those is #(argb,8,8,3)color(R,G,B,A), where R,G,B stands for Red, Green, Blue, and A stands for Alpha, all values can be anything between 0 and 1 (including decimals). e.g. _obj setObjectTexture [0,'#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,1,0,1)'] would color myObj in flat green. See Procedural Textures for more details.

Also works with absolute path and .jpg files. _obj setObjectTexture [0, "C:\Folder\Folder\Texture.paa"]; _obj setObjectTexture [0, "C:\Folder\Folder\Texture.jpg"]; Texture can also be blank: _obj setObjectTexture [2,""]; This will make the texture selection invisible on certain units without an error message. In some cases this is a desirable effect

It is also possible to apply texture to unit's backpack, as it also has hidden selection (unfortunately does not work for vests) (backpackContainer player) setObjectTexture [0,'#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,1)'] --Longbow (talk) 04:09, 18 March 2015 (CET)
