setPlayable and addSwitchableUnit in MP

[laggy]

Dear all,

Setup:

In a mission you first play as a force recon team who sabotage an enemy base to prepare for a beach landing.
When the landing starts I want to include the new (friendly) landing troops as playable/switchable units.
With respawn "side" (now working in ArmaA 1.04) you can teamSwitch to any playable friendly-sided unit.
So when the landing troops arrive I execute these commands:

Code: [Select]

{setPlayable _x} forEach units grp1

Code: [Select]

{addSwitchableUnit _x} forEach units grp1
"grp1" is a landing group that has NOT been playable/switchable since mission start, but now should be.

Effect:

Works great in SP, but not in MP. The new setPlayable and addSwitchableUnit units never become available in MP.
Not even if you play as a host (where the AI in other groups are still local to you), so no point trying on a dedi.

Why doesn't it work?
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Laggy

setPlayable is bugged

Thank you mikey  

Will save me hours of frustration.
One last futile attempt might be to test if a unit is switchable without being set to playable.
