Avoiding AGM dependency and Helmet visor

[SGT Fuller 856]

Hey guys i have two questions. First how would i go about having AGM lines in my config but avoid it being a dependency? basically is there a way for it to check for AGM and if it isnt there then it doesnt worry about it so you wont get a error saying AGM is needed.

2nd Question: I have a helmet that i want to give an option to lift the visor up and down..how would i go about this?

Thanks in advance.

Two ways that I'm thinking:

First is to check if they have a specific addon from AGM enabled via this:

Second, and I think it will work (not 100% sure though), is to check to see if certain classes are nil or not i.e.:

if (!isNil "Some_AGM_Classname") then {...};

AGM_Present = if ("agm_core" IN activatedAddons) then {true} else {false};

Where would I input the code at? Script or config

If you are inserting AGM properties in config, for example

AGM_FastRoping = 0;
AGM_FastRoping_Positions[] = {};

for a helicopter or similar, you can do so freely without any dependencies. Any extra config properties you add which are not used by the game itself are ignored by the game. You can have a "fullerpj_thing = 123" and the game will not care, unless you actually read it and do something with the values.

AGM_Present = if ("agm_core" IN activatedAddons) then {true} else {false};

What is the if/Else for? the "in" already returns bool so (unless there's some arma weirdness here) the following would be equivalent:

AGM_Present = ("agm_core" in activatedAddons);
