Because there are a few weapons like variants of the MP5 and G36 in 3CB Factions where the laser is shining out of the magazine instead of like, the laser (e.g. AT.PIAL etc.).

Please make a 3CB compat!

veteran mod compat?

@Georg Ravioli before I stepped away from Arma and modding, I had meant to rewrite ITN so that it could handle lasers that weren't in the laser slot (for combined optics, lasers modeled onto optics mounts, or just so we could have lasers in the underbarrel slot for why not).

I've also long suspected that Arma would accept making optics (or other attachments) into vanilla laser devices, so long as the model had the appropriate memorypoints and the correct config entries were added, but never got around to testing it.

Is there a special way to make optics with integrated lasers work? I tried making a CUP compat for the MARS and InSight ISM, both of which have integrated IR/visible lasers, but it won't work right.

can we get a compatability patch for worms IZLID?

how do i go about getting a laser beam like the one in the 5th screenshot

Could you add a CBA option to include vanilla laser & flashlight functionality? For rail devices that don't have compat patches to still work (In a reduced vanilla capacity at least)

Found a weird bug. Before using any rail attachment, if I press any keybinds related to widening or narrowing the beam of the IR Illuminators, the game will throw a Zero Divisor error at Line 43 of gjb_itn_illumFocus.sqf.

Once I enable a rail attachment and toggle on an illuminator, the game will no longer throw that error if I press the same keybinds.

Can't get any flashlight to work, ir/laser works fine but not vis flash, any ideas? using the dual mount rail module from JCA but also doesnt work with cup etc

This mod isn't compatible with the Western Sahara CDLC

flashlight on pistols arent working for me

@TechnoTroglodyte, make sure you're not using HATG (Hide Among The Grass Mod) it spawns an invisible object in player which prevents laser to now work indoor properly.

Yeah, the torches and lasers don't work indoors.

Came across an issue where the lasers don't work indoors lol

I can't see the beam of the lasers, any idea why

Hello, having a weird bug where the laser beam is clearly visible in SP but almost or eveninvisible in MP and the CBA settings are the same, evrything is the same

Same issue regarding activating while turned out in a vic making it stuck. Using the reset keybind didn't do anything afaict nor manually doing stuff through the full controls menu

Could you make compat patches for BWMOD and 3CB BAF Weapons, please?

@Kssar no repack is actually required to change the visibility of the lasers. If you make a .pbo with class CfgITNCompat in the config file, you can then overwrite the laser specs for each device. Just make sure that your mod depends on ITN Core, or the game might load ITN later and your changes won't stick. This was the intended way for folks to add or adjust devices as they needed.

Have a look at the CfgITNCompat.hpp in the core mod for an idea of how and what to modify

@GhostJB is there a chance i can modify and repack your mod to make the laser more visible, but not a laser sword like the vanilla one? i have no idea how to doit but i wanna try

I'm also having this issue. For some reason activating the ITN on vehicles hard-stucks that to weapons. Even if I get rid of the laser device it stays on.

The IR ILLUM effect stays on once it's activated on the rubber boat. Even if you switch laser modes, the beam remains stuck on

@OAK which effect persisted? Did the IR AIM's laser beam stay on even when turned off or the mode changed to a mode without an aiming laser? Or was it the ILLUM beam (which is actually a flashlight, according to the game engine) that couldn't be turned off via the power button or mode changing?

@GhostJB
Additional scenario I used for testing was turning on the IR laser on the rubber boat. After that, I could not turn off the IR laser again.

@GhostJB
As far as I have tested, it is = IR AIM, ILLUM, Flash IR, IR DUAL.

@OAK which effect was permanently on? Was it the laser beam, the illuminator, or a flashlight?

Do you know about a bug when turning on the laser while inside a vehicle? Recently, I was on a boat and left the laser turned on. After getting back on land, I couldn't turn it off anymore — it stayed on for the rest of the game. I had to leave and rejoin the server to fix it.

@T.Justin you may have accidentally set the "auto-on" feature at some point. Open the device interface (tap default key F4) then hold right-click over the activation/power button, drag you cursor down to the "X" icon, and release. This should turn off the auto activation feature.

Hi does anyone know how to fix the issue where my laser activates automatically after every movement

Got it, thanks

@simpel it moves the start-point for lasers attached to weapons with that attribute forwards (towards the muzzle/away from the player) by that value of meters. Its purpose is to push the start of the laser outside of the over-sized geometry LOD of some weapons (notably the vanilla belt-fed machineguns) so that the laser will be visible. (In arma, if a laser generated with the drawLaser command begins inside of a geometry object, the engine will assume its end-point to be the same as the start-point, and you won't get a beam, just the dot.)

What is the purpose of the gjb_itn_beltFedFix variable and how do I use it?

Pistol lights only work some of the time, and by some of the time, I mean in Ace arsenal. When I try to use pistol lights from MPP, or Tier 1 Weapons, they don't work except in Ace arsenal. The vanilla pistol light works fine but modded pistol lights don't work.

GhostJB HI! When I press F4 (default button) I have an error - can't find some image! Can you fix it please?

could you add a simple error check for guns without lasers?

Got it, I I'll try to fix this issue and inform you if I'll ever do this this.

@DimiDerevo that's a known issue which I caught very late, and the fix has been involved enough that I never was able to package it and push it as an update. Wish I had better to say about it, but I haven't had much space in my life for Arma these past few years

Hi there, love your mod, but I found an issue. Controls are not aligned properly when interface size is not set to "small" or when using non-standard aspect ratio, 21:9 in my case.

Understood, I'll look into that, thanks

@Kill3rCat best way is probably to have a hidden rail attachment that is always equipped with the IZLID "weapon". ITN only looks at the side attachments for if and where it should generate a laser beam

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to make a compat for the IZLID for this mod. Part of the problem is that it is not an attachment, it is simply its own weapon item. Tried adding an entry in CfgITNCompat but it seemed to have no effect.

When entering buildings the laser goes into the rifle, anyone know a fix?

Is there any way to increase the default power of IR beams at IR AIM HI mode?

All functions do work but the beams are so weak that I can't see from air vechile(such as helicopters).

I used ITN with Avalon compat.

And a little suggestion/request. SPS Weapons V2 has some really cool ♥♥♥♥. Would love to see a compat for that.

Could you make it so the settings for the devices are saved with the weapon when dropping it. Reason is, TSP Animate has a QuickDraw function, which works by the main weapon being slung, which basically attaches is to the player, which removes it from the weapon slot. Everytime you sling, you have to reapply the settings for your device. Would be very nice, if that worked.

I got a question I’m having trouble turning the laser on and the flashlight it’s like they don’t work, can someone please post their settings for me

Can you add a bikey for MP use?

How do i change the option back to clicking buttons on the peq itself rather than clicking on a gui menu

How do i change the dot thickness/size on the modes like IR AIM LO/HI ?
