How do you remove nightvision goggles from a unit

[tmp95 16]

To remove NVG's for a unit via editor you put in their init field:

this unassignItem "NVGoggles";

this removeItem "NVGoggles";

You must first unassign an item that is in use by the unit before you can remove it.

This doesn't work?? I've put it into the Init field of a number of OpFor AI and all still have NVGs once on preview within Editor.

As we said at the top of this very page and in several other threads across the forums, OPFOR NVGoggles are now called: "NVGoggles_OPFOR"

there we go couldnt find why opfor dint work. thanks ;)

I remember seeing a script that based on the time of day, would add/remove NV goggles. But for the life of me I can't find it. Searched past the last 100 pages too.

Anyone remember it?

@Beerkan

Try this in init.sqf:

if (!(daytime > 4 && daytime < 19)) then {{[_x, 0.03] execVM "nvgoogle.sqf"} foreach allUnits};

Create a file called nvgoogle.sqf:

this unassignItem "NVGoggles";

this removeItem "NVGoggles";

> 4 < 19 you can change this in your mission.

Hope it works.Not testing it now.

Cheers

Thanks Valery,

You've seeded an idea.

Create a 'while {alive player} do' condition where based on the time of day, it will add/remove the ng.

Also going to use the single command

this unlinkItem "NVGoggles_INDEP";

as suggested by Kaylina

is this somehow also usable on goggles ? i hate all the troops (AND CIVILIANS) spawning with ESS tactical goggles etc..

Put this in your unit's init: ;)

this unassignItem "NVGoggles";
this removeItem "NVGoggles";

NOTE: I know you've already have this code listed above, but it should work when you put it IN the Unit's INIT.

[JonyBIgood 10]

Put this in your unit's initialization

Faction Civil & Blufor :

this unassignItem "NVGoggles";
this removeItem "NVGoggles";

Faction Opfor :

this unassignItem "NVGoggles_OPFOR";
this removeItem "NVGoggles_OPFOR";

Faction Independent :

this unassignItem "NVGoggles_INDEP";
this removeItem "NVGoggles"_INDEP;

For all units (ex: east), put this in your file init.sqf

{
if (side _x == east) then {

_x unassignItem "NVGoggles_OPFOR";
_x removeItem "NVGoggles_OPFOR";


};
} foreach allunits;

or simply

this unlinkItem "NVGoggles";
this unlinkItem "NVGoggles_OPFOR";
this unlinkItem "NVGoggles_INDEP";

This code is not working at removing NVG from all OPFOR units

this unassignItem "NVGoggles";

this removeItem "NVGoggles";

(nor is when I put in "NVGoggles_Opfor" )

I am using units from Middle East Conflict Mod (but they should still be considered Opfor , correct?)

Do you mean removing NVGs from all or any OPFOR units?

[tmp95 16]

I would like to remove NVG for all Opfor (for missions I'm building). Or even if I can just do in unit specific would be fine (within a units INIT).

[jshock 513]

Well, JonyBIGood gave the code for every unit above:

{
if (side _x == east) then {

_x unassignItem "NVGoggles_OPFOR";
_x removeItem "NVGoggles_OPFOR";


};
} foreach allunits;  

You could also use the one line command of:

{
if (side _x == east) then {

_x unlinkItem "NVGoggles_OPFOR";


};
} foreach allunits;  

As stated by Beerkan and Kaylina. Placing these codes in your init.sqf should solve your issue.

[tmp95 16]

On further review - This does appear to be related to Middle East Conflict units - As CSAT units DO have their NVG removed! Huh. Wonder how to remove off MEC units.

You will need to find the classname list from that mod and look for the NVGs that they use. (Usually found in the mod folder, in your A3 directory or PW6 directory respectively, as a pdf or txt file). That particular mod has a lot of required mods however and could be pulling the NVG class from anywhere.

@Jshock. Thanks! That is it. I've asked on the MEC thread for some help on how to remove!

[thefinn 3]

Hrm... my guys still have NVG's... love to know why. I even cut and paste this in... has something changed ?

this unassignItem "NVGoggles"; this removeItem "NVGoggles";

Me too... gonna go check the feedback tracker, this worked last week!

Confused myself there...

NVGoggles for BLUFOR

NVGoggles_OPFOR for OPFOR

NVGoggles_INDEP for IND

EDIT: After a bit of testing, this only works on blufor units. OPFOR and IND both still have NVGs on.

They do have different classnames for each NV goggle by side (don't ask me why...).

Blufor = "NVGoggles"

Opfor = "NVGoggles_OPFOR"

Independent = "NVGoggles_INDEP"

[Tavish 41]

Yeah, just realised my mistake

[killzone_kid 1331]

Have you checked BIKI example? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/unassignItem

[thefinn 3]

Found that, thanks dude!

Also using your example on the wiki for making units do automatic weapons fire ;)
