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 c[] usually indicates it cannot be textured.
• All textures must have a resolution of 2^a × 2^b (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:

Syntax

Syntax:

object setObjectTextureGlobal [selection, texture]

Parameters:

object: Object

selection: Number or 2.10 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. Since 2.20 using "#reset" would reset to default texture.

Return Value:

Nothing

Examples

Example 1:

Copy

player setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "\MyAddon\blue.paa"];

Example 2:

Copy

// 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
