SetObjectTexture

[mikeb]

Can anyone please explain how the setobjecttexture command to me.

I looked at the BIS forum and put.....

 this setobjecttexture [0,"rus_vlajka.pac"]

... into the init of a 5t truck but nothing happened.

Any idea what's going wrong and what other vehicles can be used with the command.

[seanver]

what are you trying to do?

[mikeb]

I'm not actually  that sure!

I was just trying to test what the command did.  Apparently it adds the specified jpg or whatever as a texture on the side of the vehicle, and apparently it works on the 5t truck, but I don't see anything when I try it.

it sets the texture of the flags lol, usa_vlajka.pac makes it a usa flag
while rus_vlajka.pac sets it russian

yep, it does.... this is taken from an init field of my truck with a medic patch on

this setobjectexture [0, "\flags\redcross.jpg"

im using the offical flag pack.... just replace the flags bit with the russian one...

:thumbsup:

[mikeb]

So are the flags meant to appear on the side of the truck?  Because I still don't see them

[mikeb]

Messiah, did you use the normal west 5t truck?

[Messiah]

they only work on certain trucks - 5t covered, civil truck, URAL

[mikeb]

Working now!

God knows what was going wrong..

Cheers all
