Possession Mod Traitor Edition

Description
This mod allows you to take over any unit by just looking at them.
This mod is best used for non linear missions with many units and no respawning.
This mod is intended for single player.
This mod has not been tested for multiplayer , however I have added some code so that if you try it in MP you should not be able to control a unit another player is controlling.

Want to keep it restricted to one team?

CBA Required


Press "H" to switch to unit you are looking at.


Also works on vehicles.


You can also use "TAB" to toggle overlay to see where squad leads are.


Left click on overlay markers to switch to the squad lead of that squad. (also works by clicking icon on map)


Here is an example in action.


You will also be switch to nearest unit on death. (Excluding Civ's see know issues)


Know Issue
* When play a mission that starts you out on one side and then changes you to another, you will still only be able to switch to the side you started on.
Example, in Dynamic Recon Ops, you start as Bluefor, and are switched to Opfor (if you picked to pay as Opfor) but you can only switch to Bluefor units.
Sadly there is nothing I can do about this as "playerside" is locked to the side you start on and using "side player" would change your side to Civ if you bleed out while down. (Since downed units are marked as Civ.)

* You will not take over Civ on death due to animals also being marked as Civ. (So you wont become a snake.)

Hit "TAB" to toggle the icons. When the icons are off, only "H" should switch you, unless something has broken since I made this. Either way I will likely not update it anymore as I don't even have room on my hard drive for the game anymore.

HOW DO YOU MAKE IT NOT WORK ON CLICK!!!

when you shoot at enemies, you switch to them because it activates on clicks too

your version of this mod is awesome, but when playing antistasi, if you kill enemies while possessing an enemy, it makes your kill score goes down, any way to solve that ?

also, theres any button, or feature, to make the camera goes back to the original character after the one in possession dies ?

Great mod, congrats ! :)

This mod is freakin awesome!! ..One question, Do you also have the bug of your character's voice not working when you switch to a guy? Or is this the result of some strange mod interaction?

@Cardboardboxo alright, overall good mod though, I use the other possession mod and it is very useful when messing around in SP with AT and Sniper units. But if I can find the mod that may cause black screen with the "Traitor" version I'll lyk

@Mata Mata It does not work with all missions/mods. A good way to see if its the mod is to launch the game with just this mod on and go into editor and place some units. Then try to switch to those units. If it still black screens in editor then I will try to look into it.

When I swap to other units, I get a black screen and can't get out of it unless I restart mission. Maybe it's the mods I have. Unsure as of right now, but figured I'd drop this here
