Rank icons - Global-Conflicts-ArmA/Olsen-Framework-Arma-3 GitHub Wiki

Description

The rank_icon module allows mission makers to create custom rank icons above the units head.

  • Note: All icon file paths are relative to the mission's folder and need to be in .paa format.
    From testing, if you colour an icon it will just be rendered in black and white regardless.

Usage

  1. Go to modules>module.sqf and enable the rank_icons module.
  2. Go to modules>rank_icons>settings.sqf

In the settings file you'll see the following

// Sides example
// [blufor, "modules\rank_icons\res\chopper.paa"] call FUNC(addSetting); 
// [opfor, "modules\rank_icons\res\chopper.paa"] call FUNC(addSetting);
// [independent, "modules\rank_icons\res\chopper.paa"] call FUNC(addSetting); 
// [civilian, "modules\rank_icons\res\chopper.paa"] call FUNC(addSetting); 

// Group example
// [group1, "modules\rank_icons\res\chopper.paa"] call FUNC(addSetting);

// single unit example
// [unit1, "modules\rank_icons\res\chopper.paa"] call FUNC(addSetting);

// Multiple units example
// [[unit1, unit2, unit3], "modules\rank_icons\res\chopper.paa"] call FUNC(addSetting);

Uncomment the lines you wish to use by remove the // before it.
You can either apply a custom rank icon to all units on a side like so in the sides example, to a whole group, to a single unit, or to several individual units.

If applying to a whole side, you'll use the variable of the chosen side, blufor, opfor,,independent, civilian```.
If applying to either a group or unit(s), then you'll use their variable names.
