Tophanga 14 Apr, 2024 @ 3:46pm 
is there a way to avoid switching to some specific units?
Cardboardboxo  [author] 12 Sep, 2023 @ 7:32pm 
@bendy if you use the markers on the map or above squads the you will be group lead. If you just take over a random ai by looking at them then they may not be sl.

@KENIXII I'm not working on it anymore.
Bendy 7 Sep, 2023 @ 7:34pm 
do you continue to be group leader?
KENIXII 2 May, 2023 @ 9:54pm 
hi can u add so we can switch the unit from far away
Lying Sack Of Fun 20 Apr, 2023 @ 4:41am 
I desperately need something like that.

Does this work with Zeus?

I'm sad that the mod-maker doesnt check comments :(
Jordan 16 Mar, 2021 @ 12:52am 
is this ace compatible
Your Pal Deebs 2 Mar, 2021 @ 4:21am 
Indeed, it's a super cool mod- but having some kind of option to not switch on death would probably do wonders for compatibility.

There`s any way to disable the auto switch on death?

How could we change the key? H is also used for dongo's air operations~
Jules 12 Oct, 2020 @ 7:24am 
@Cardboardboxo amazing work! Is it possible for the mod to get signed? Would be cool to be able to use it in coop on a dedicated server.
☢GASMAN☢ 31 Jul, 2020 @ 1:33pm 
Awesome mod
Bugeye 21 Jul, 2020 @ 2:38am 
Can I switch to any units beyond my line of sight?

See, I am using RHS. I want to be a spotter for a Tochka missile launcher. Problem is, the Tochka doesn't work like normal artillery where you can just call for fire with the vanilla command menu. You actually have to be the Tochka gunner inside the vehicle to target and fire the missile.

The problem is, as a spotter I am many kms away from the actual launcher.

Thanks Cardboardboxo!
patriotic_panda 19 Jul, 2020 @ 4:12am 
thats fine then, dont worry about it, i was only asking because itd cause issues when playing something like antistasi, where youd take control of someone you werent supposed to play
Koger 19 Jul, 2020 @ 12:19am 
I don't know if it's one the mods I have loaded but whenever I die the guy I am useing gets duplicated?
Cardboardboxo  [author] 18 Jul, 2020 @ 10:25pm 
Just released a new version of the mod that lets you switch to units on any team.

Cardboardboxo  [author] 18 Jul, 2020 @ 8:58pm 
Sorry I have been away for so long, just dropped a small update that should fix issued with some SP missions ending at the start.

@patriotic_panda Sadly I don't how I could make that a toggle aside form making a whole new mod.

@RuneWulv This mod has issues with some mission and more so if that mission uses many scripts.

@Daliggowski Yea, some missions would do that due to not having any player unit spawned at the beginning. Just updated it and got that fixed.
Cardboardboxo  [author] 18 Jul, 2020 @ 8:58pm 
@White_Mask It was not made with coop in mind and I tried to make it so that you don't take over the same unit in coop but there is only so much I can do there.

@Jeremy Corbyn Just released fix that should fix Dynamic Recon Ops, how ever its not perfect. Because the mission start you out as Bluefor, if you select any other side to play as (Like Opfor) you will only be able to switch to Bluefor units. There is no way for me to fix this since the mission starts you out on Bluefor and you stay as the same unit the whole game so your technically on Bluefor according to Arma 3's "Playerside" command.

is there a possibility to turn off automatic possession
Yahtzee 29 May, 2020 @ 3:24pm 
Great mod, means I don't have to set every unit as playable if I want to use them. Got in the way of the ace medical menu but rebinding it was easy.

battlefield 2:modern combat vibe intensifies
RuneWulv 17 May, 2020 @ 7:03am 
how about making a toggle function that sends you back to your player body on death? or if your player dies, you lose connection to the ally and return to your corpse after a timer (if you fail to revive him with defibs). Otherwise this is pretty much game breaking for Exile :(
RuneWulv 16 May, 2020 @ 2:12pm 
everything works as intended in Exile. Problems so far is the Infistar issue and when I die it goes into an infinite loop trying to search for the next ally. I click respawn and it basically breaks the respawn and I have to rejoin.
RuneWulv 16 May, 2020 @ 1:27pm 
Infistar kicks me after a certain span with this in the logs

RuneWulv 16 May, 2020 @ 1:01pm 
UPDATE.... just toyed with it some more and rebound my keys and it does work with Recruit AI!!
RuneWulv 16 May, 2020 @ 11:16am 
tried it on my Exile server, was hoping it would let me take control of my Recruit AI but it doesnt. Then I was killed and it randomly chose a survivor AI on the map while still showing my death countdown timer. Once I was in control of the survivor I could see the overlay and what not, but as soon as the timer counted down it took me out of the AI and I had to watch my death timer again. Upon respawn, my corpse was gone.

Just my experience, just giving a little info.
RuneWulv 16 May, 2020 @ 8:49am 
gonna give this a go on my private server now
Planewalker 24 Apr, 2020 @ 4:50am 
What # custom keys does this mod use if people want to rebind the default keys?

Also, awesome mod! :D
Basil 15 Apr, 2020 @ 9:06am 
if only you wouldn't have to press tab every time just to disable those ugly and realism breaking overlays, couldve been a great mod

battlefield 2:modern combat
but in Arma
daliggowski 10 Apr, 2020 @ 10:22am 
Every time I try to start a singleplayer scenario, the mission just completes itself and I get kicked back to the menu. It's quite literally unplayable...
TDMatijas 7 Apr, 2020 @ 5:40am 
is there a reason why with some scenarios (not all) that when I start one, it just takes me to the end screen to either continue or restart then backs out to scenario selection. This is the only mod that seems doing this. Has anyone else had this problem? other than that amazing mod
ACRaptor 4 Apr, 2020 @ 10:00am 
Reminds me of that one battlefield game.
TevoTFM 31 Mar, 2020 @ 11:07pm 
They already did that, you can't posses a model that has someone in it.
Kommissar Azura 25 Mar, 2020 @ 2:31am 
can you make sure that it won't possess another player's model so it can be done in MP?
Night_Hider 19 Mar, 2020 @ 1:19pm 
Does this change the infantry type when you possess someone. I mean if you were a squad leader and possess a pilot. Are you then allowed to fly helicopters if that option is disabled for other infantry types?
Mad_House 16 Mar, 2020 @ 8:43pm 
Is it possible to possess *anybody* with this mod? Would be really fun in single player if I could just start slaughtering the entire OPFOR with their own men, from a really safe distance anyway.
shadowed 13 Mar, 2020 @ 2:09am 
Getting crashes on coop online. After dying, teammate spawned in as me and crashed. Hoping this works on coop missions one day!
C.Manuel. [ITA] 10 Mar, 2020 @ 4:50am 
YOU'RE A.... GOD !!! :'))) :,)))

Battlefield 1 style uh? You're a Genius !
TevoTFM 9 Mar, 2020 @ 9:38pm 
The latest update for this was really great. Every time something went wrong, I just 'woke up' as someone else.
Spectreblitz 7 Mar, 2020 @ 3:05pm 
Im glad Im not the only one who mentioned BF2 modern combat. Miss that game alot
KeroKeroBennito 2 Mar, 2020 @ 6:23am 
@Banana Oil It's strange because it worked before the most recent update perfectly fine.
Zillamaster55 2 Mar, 2020 @ 6:09am 
@Jeremy Corbyn same issues here too, which is a shame because it would be PERFECT for DRO
