Cards!
LISTEN UP, SCENARIO MAKERS!
Are you sick and tired of Bohemia Interactive not allowing you to change the texture of the ID Card and Bank Card from Old Man?
Ever wanted a card model you could change the textures of?
Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
Well, fret no more! Introducing Cards!
The mod you never knew you needed!

This mod adds a static, 2.5" by 3.5" card with hiddenSelections, allowing players to change its texture via the "setObjectTexture" command. The object can be found in Eden Editor under Things > Sports and Recreation as "Card (Ace of Spades)". A PSD file is included in the mod’s folder.
Use this model for tarot cards, set up your own game of Solitaire, or slap inappropriate images on them. Creativity knows no bounds!
Feel free to add this mod to your server, collection, or modpack. Credit is not necessary, but appreciated.

Why?
Inspired by Red Dead Online’s tarot cards, I had a desire to add collectible cards to my scenarios for my friends to find. Disappointed that BI did not give the ID Card (CSAT) nor the Bank Card hiddenSelections, and 100% new to the world of Arma 3 mod development, I embarked on what could best be described as trial and error. Five days later, here I am.
ISSUES
The mod should be compatible with all other mods. If an incompatibility pops up, leave a comment.
Textures may appear somewhat bright in shadowed areas. Blame BI.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy my mod!
