Description

This mod allows you to take over any friendly unit by just looking at them.
This mod is best used for non linear missions with many allies 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.

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 ally on death.

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.)

* If play as Civ faction, you may become animals due to animals being marked as Civ.

@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.
