Description

Description:

Set person's face. For a list of available faces, check Category:CfgIdentities or 'CfgFaces' config. If the face is non-existent, the face is set to 'Default' and the error is logged in .rpt file.

Groups:

Unit Identity

Syntax

Syntax:: person setFace face
Parameters:: person: Object
: face: String
Return Value:: Nothing

Examples

Example 1:: soldier1 setFace "WhiteHead_02";
Example 2:: Set persistent face for a unit in multiplayer:
this setFace "AsianHead_A3_02"; // in the init field if the unit already exists in Eden Editor

if (isServer) then { [_unit, "AsianHead_A3_02"] remoteExec ["setFace", 0, _unit] }; // if the unit is created later in the game. However this will work only with stock faces, when player joins with a custom face, all current players need to be force updated to the desired face as custom face overwrites current face. Use BIS_fnc_setIdenity for persistent identity.

Additional Information
