aP soldier

[nuzzimauro]

Can I change player-control between 2 or more soldiers?
(es. I'd like play with different kinds of unit switching into different soldiers during the game...). How can i do???

Thanx!

According to my faint memory, this is only possible in campaign, not single- or multiplayer missions.

i might have discovered a loophole to that rule...

you would have to change the description somehow and that i cant do, but...

wouldnt you be able to have a script that kills the unit and deletes the body, and then set the respawn to instantly bring him back, but using the description.ext to make them a different unit?

the script itself wouldnt be hard, and i know how to do the description for the respawn part, but does anyone no how to set it up to change units, if thats even possible?

woops, double-post, oh well  ;D

anyway it could also be scripted to make the unit you want to become, and make him the only other member in the group, then set the respawn to become the other member in your group, kill the player, delete/move the body, and set the groups and respawn back to how they were

that might work

Might work in MP.    There's no respawn in SP so I doubt you could make it work there.

[Triggerhappy]

well, you can get arrays of what the player has, and then switch it to something else, then use the array to switch back so you dont get all of your ammo back

i'm not sure, but there might be a way to do that with the face as well

if its in a mission you are making just set the players face and then change it for the other type of unit he becomes

working on a script for it, but i dont know if it will work...

Wouldn't you have to alter the onplayerdeath.sqs?
Wouldn't it activate to quickly, or instantly in SP?

I'm sure you can do it in MP, easily. Just a matter of who you are reincaranating into, the LAW guy, or the Kozlice guy. ;D

Edit: TriggerHappy, nice pic, never seen a stormtrooper do that manuever. :thumbsup:

[Triggerhappy]

hehe, thanks

my scripts didnt work, not sure how to get it to work

[macguba]

Well, nobody else has figured out how to do it either, so you're in good company.

OFP is an old game.    If it's easy, somebody has already done it.    If it's hard .... well there's still plenty of things to be discovered .....

[Triggerhappy]

i think i figured out how to script it, but i would like to know if there is a command that returns the face of a unit?
