Enhancement Request: Accept a STRING (hiddenSelection name) as the first argument of setObjectTexture/setObjectTextureGlobal and material equivalents
Feedback, NormalPublic

Description

Right now, setting a texture for a hidden selection requires the index of the texture in the hiddenSelections[] array. This means that if the array ever changes, all scripts using this function run the risk of breaking.

It would therefore be helpful if the selectionNumber could be a NUMBER or a STRING, with the STRING being the name of the hidden selection instead of the index.

For example:

object setObjectTextureGlobal["camo", "\path\to\texture_co.paa"];

would always work as expected.

Thank you for requesting the feature.
Due to the current phase of Live Ops development in Arma 3, we cannot commit to any new features, though we will try to consider them.
