Would this be possible?

Would it be possible to make a...I'm not sure of the terminology...you know those wearable strobe lights that soldiers wear, that are only visible using NVGs so you can easily identify allies in darkness? I think that would add a nice immersion into co-op missions.

Yes, they were present in ArmA 2 OA. I believe they have been added via the IR Grenades in the 1.08 patch to ArmA 3. All you need is a script to attach it to yourself.

Hmm could be interesting...once I check them out ingame I might have a play to see what I can do :)

Perhaps not the most informative thread title?

How about those IR reflective strips or whatever the correct terminology for them? Are they technically possible?

From memory it can be done but they're not very effective, as there's no IR lights in game for it to reflect off you just have glowing white strips that look kinda meh.

You could do it the cheeky way with the new IR grenades and scripting..

Example:

meh = "B_IRStrobe" createVehicle [0,0,0]; meh attachTo[player,[0,0,0],"leftshoulder"];

would I add this in each players init field for a coop mission?

Would this be something you would consider sharing?
