Slide doesn't lock back when magazine is empty, and doesn't slide back on last shot

[GSP167 1]

Hello.

I'm fairly new to modding, I recently managed to convert Arma 2's Glock 17 to Arma 3 and everything appears to be working fine except that, as said in the title, the slide will not lock back when the magazine is empty, and also it will not slide back on the last magazine round.

Here's the video of what it does:

I'm sure the problem is either caused by something in my model.cfg or config.cpp files.

Use the IsEmpty or IsEmptyNoReload animation source in the model.cfg

IIRC, IsEmpty will lock the slide back when the magazine is totally expended or during a reload when the magazine is withdrawn (prior to inserting a new one) but IsEmptyNoReload will only lock it back when the magazine is expended and will snap forward again when a new one is inserted.

Hey, thanks a lot it worked! ;)
