Excellent Mod, for those of us who seek not to have to add another and maintain the original essence of Arma3. That's why I give you the award. But I would like to make a constructive criticism in the future so that it improves:
1.- Can you improve the brightness, FPS (NATO: 30 FPS / US: 60 FPS) and the location of the IR strobe beam?
2.- Can you remove the IR strobe schedule to be able to use it at all times?
If you can, I would appreciate it and give another prize. Thank you very much and good mod!!!

anyone have strobe .sqf file to execute on AI?

can you add VSM all in one helmets ?

dope ill have a little look mate will let you know

@S.McGarrett
Sure thing. If you want to get it working with Ace I'm sure there are more than a few people who would appreciate it. If you do get it working and up on the workshop let me know here please. That way I can send anyone asking about it your way.

np man if i did so my self and credited you would that be okay @[CJTF] StanThaMan

@S.McGarrett
Sorry, I have no plans on making an ace compatible version as Ace has built in functionality to attach an IR strobe already. Some people have asked that question in the past because they don't like where they placed it or that it requires the device to be in your inventory, but those are issues that can be addressed with the Ace team.
I personally don't use Ace so I don't even know what compatibility issues there are between them.

could you make an ace compatible version?

Now if your playing on Nak squad, they require you to use the no helmet IR mod i found out.

Ive been testing on Livonia, i'll check Altis next to baseline my data. If not, ill try out the No Helmet Req. thanks for the timely response man, so stoked to get this working.

@iron
Hey sorry to hear you're having issues getting it to work. First thing to check is if you're playing on an addon map, some map creators don't add the time checks that the default maps have. If you're playing on a default map then the issue may be with the helmet. If it's an addon helmet or one that was added to the game via DLC or update since 2016 it won't trigger. You can try my No Helmet Req version to see if it fixes your problem.

i cant get this to work yet. ive been playing missions that are consistently between dusk and dawn and never get any prompt in my action menu, and im always using an enhanced combat helmet (ECH) which has an obvious IR strobe on top of it

@DawnOfApocalypse
No problem, I though someone had already asked that question and when I looked and saw it was you it made me laugh because it'd been so long ago that you forgot. Glad you're still getting use out of this old mod.

damn im so sorry, thank you for clarifying

@DawnOfApocalypse
You already asked that question back in 2017. Client side only means it's not required to be on the server, everyone will see the strobe even if they don't have the addon.

Client side mean only i and anyone else with the mod can see it

what helmets does this work for? I cant seem to find it

is it possible you could add the IR to RHS mod? without the mod demanding you to add it?

thanks.

The addon is client side.

I was wondering if this mod could be a server side or client?

Hey there! Would it be possible to get this added to the A3 Launcher list of mods?

OH WOW THANK YOU. thats really useful thanks.

@ DawnOfApocalypse
Yes. It uses the games default IR Strobe. The addon just gives you an action which attaches the default strobe affect to your headgear.

AWSOME QUICK QUESTIONS CAN PEOPLE WITHOUT THE MOD SEE IT?
thanks,

@ Gears1990
Yeah it does. Updated the description above. So many addons req it that I fotgot to list it here. Thanks for the heads up.

Not sure if it is actually required or not but the mod wasnt wanting to work without CBA. just want to confirm that CBA is a requirement?

Hi Stan, ACE3 has a mount IR Strobe or light stick to the shoulder if you can get one in inventory or arsenal or find it in mission but I don't see it on the helmet? Hence I like your mod better since it is limited to units with compatible helmets.

I will try the other version but this version feels more "immersive" for units with the correct helmets and I wanted to see if we can add other correct looking helmets to the list. Maybe you can make a whitelist in the userconfig to allow this in the future so users can add to it? TY again.

@ Valken
ACE 3 currently has a built in helmet mounted IR strobe so there is no need for me to add this version to it. If you are wanting to use my version of the IR strobe with head gear from other mods, you should grab my CJTF No Helmet Req IR Strobe version here on the workshop. It allows the use of the functions with all headgear. I created that version spacificly for people wanting to utilize the mod with headgear outside the base game.

Hi I wanted to ask if it is possible to allow user to ADD other helmets to enable IR Strobe and to add this as an ACE3 feature? If I load this mod along with OPTRE for example, it would throw up errors about some helmets that are incompatible. It would be great to make it ACE3 and allow other mods to use this feature.

@ Vast135
Not using this addon, you can get IR strobes on AI by using scripting though. You can do a google search for "BI Forums IR grenade attached to units" to see an example of how that works. Hope that info helps.

Is there a way to have it where Ai's can use it aswell.

okay, i will try it out then.

If you play on multiplayer servers that allow addons you can use it there. The function of the addon is built in to the game. So if you use it in a MP mission others will see it even if they do not have the addon. Find you an active server with decent ping and make some friends. The game is way better with a human fire team backing you up.

that is cool, would be very useful if i had any friends to play with.

Tactical. Hilarious. I luv it :3
