Can I change the player's race in multiplayer ?

[AlbertFaubrein]

Hi everyone 
It is possible to assign a race to a faction for the players and for bots ?

I want to change the player's race when she/he takes the Mordor faction for example.
I want to change bots' race too.

It's only possible for bots, for players you need to figure out a workaround.

Are you working at a LotR mod or what kind of setting to you plan to have?

Thanks for your fast reply 

Yeah, it's like a LOTR mod but with native factions, GOT factions and some custom ones.
But what do you mean for a workaround solution, for example give to players orcs masks ?

For human sized races I will use skins and head masks as armoury. For the little ones you can try on spawning a bot and giving the respective player the controll about the bot. I haven't looked into that yet myself since I want to set up the basics first.

For the bots you can orientate on these threads here I think:

Yeah thanks for those links, they are very helpfull.

But for little ones, can I just edit the size when the player join the faction ?

This one here is even better, I forgot that I have it marked:

There is also some kind of scale function in module_skins. You can read about it here in some kind of case study. Be aware of the backsides it brings with itself.

Only if you use WSE 
And that doesn't solve the problem of being able to switch the race without leaving and reconnecting the game iirc.
But it explains well how to add new skins as well.
