Tactical Flashlight

[jw custom 56]

This simple flashlight config modification adds tactical flashlight to most weapons and a tactical flashlight item.

I have added a mission/script example showing how to enable/disable flashlight depending on having a tactical flashlight in your inventory(simple weapon swap).

Requirements:

ArmA 2 Combined Operations

Thank you. Like you said simple but needed.

[jw custom 56]

Updated, added an ammobox with all flashlight weapons/ammo added.

[eggbeast 3673]

this looks amazing - so how did you do it?

the filesize is so small you can't have made new models... right?

so cool.

how easy would it be to do the same with IR lasers?

will have a good go at this thanks so much mate

[Wiki 1558]

nice addon.

I agree with eggbeast, could you do the same with IR laser?

His script changes the weapon class from e.g. a M9SD to the JWC_FL_M9SD class, the latter having the same model and all other properties but a flashlight config (and if you chose "detach flashlight", this change is reversed). So what lacks is only the small model of an attached flashlight, but to make that would be an enormous hurdle with little to no gaming benefit. So this is an interesting approach that will greatly help a lot of mission makers.

A very good addon.

Thanks for sharing it..:)

[eggbeast 3673]

ah ok i thought the flashlight like the irlaser worked off of a specified animation tag point (or w/e the correct terminology is) so that you'd need to redo the model in O2.

fantastic stuff

[eggbeast 3673]

awesome find JWC - I've just gone and added a red flashlight to my MP5SD - thanks for the tip!

Am looking at putting a big bright flashlight on a static M2 - will be ideal in unsung bases

[eggbeast 3673]

done the searchlight, just need to work out how to make it swivel with the M2 static gun now

[ltfrankie 1]

How do you give yourself a flashlight? How do you give AI flashlight and have them use it?

hey JW Custom, I was wondering if you are going to add in the DLC weapons as well.
