Description

Description:
Set the texture of the given selection on all computers in a network session.
ⓘ
  • Not all objects can 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 a resolution of 2a × 2b (e.g. 16×16, 16×32, 64×256, 512×512, ...). The largest texture size supported by the RV engine is 4096×4096.
  • Supported formats: .pac, .paa, .jpg, .jpeg, .ogg, .ogv
Multiplayer:
The effect is JIP compatible.
Problems:
If executed from an object's init field (which should not be done anyway for GEGlobal commands), execution may happen too early and fail to broadcast over the network and to be JIP compatible.
Groups:
Object Manipulation

Syntax

Syntax:
object setObjectTextureGlobal [selection, texture]
Parameters:
object: Object
selection: Number or Arma 3 logo black.png2.10 String - index of the selection. It is defined in the hiddenSelections array in the vehicle's config (starting with 0). If a string is given, it referes to a hiddenSelection name or clan selection instead of an index.
texture: String - path to texture
Return Value:
Nothing

Examples

Example 1:
player setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "\MyAddon\blue.paa"];
Example 2:
// 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

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)"];

Following Killzone_Kid's note, a sleep after the setObjectMaterialGlobal and before the setObjectTextureGlobal command is sometimes needed to ensure the texture effect is carried out correctly.
private _block = createVehicle ["Land_VR_Block_02_F", player getPos [20, getDir player], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; _block setObjectMaterialGlobal [0, "\a3\data_f\default.rvmat"]; sleep 0.01; _block setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "#(rgb,8,8,3)color(1,0,0,1)"];

Note that you need to run above code in a scheduled environment.
