[RELEASE] AutoNVG

[davidoss 550]

 

HI.

Maybe someone can find this usable.

This script adds/removes NVG's at all units besides players according to day/night cycle.

ACE3 compatible.

Hi,

 

cool release! One small thing though, NVGoggles_tna_F is a "BluFor" item if I'm not mistaken. At least worn by BluFor NATO Tanoa units.

 

Thanks!

[davidoss 550]

Well its not very important  i added it to guer because there are many NVGs on blufor and NVGoggles_tna_F is green colour.

Anyway anyone can easily change this behaviour on wish

[davidoss 550]

Updated to triggers instead loop

[M1ke_SK 230]

Suggestion: I see a lot of duplicate code. You can use switch for only array NVG instead of whole code of selecting and assigning. :) 

[HazJ 1288]

Had a very quick look, wasn't really attention though lol but am I missing something or? Why not just add the NV in first place? Don't players/AI self control their NVG?

[Janez 507]

Sure, but some might find it odd for units to have NVGs mounted on their helmets or clipping trough caps, hats and whatnot during daytime. It also adds weight. I suppose it's useful for more realistic looking type scenarios. :)

[davidoss 550]

Of course you right. You cant see any soldier keeping his NVG on helmet during daytime combat. Its optic an expensive stuff and not durable.

@M1ke_SK: I tried to keep as possible side selected assign for NVGs
