Can't we put vehicle weapons in Infantry?

[Enforcer249 0]

I remember I make put GAU-8 into Infantry unit and have some fun sometimes in ARMA 2.

So I just wonder how about play some fun in ARMA 3, putting script in player unit; player addMagazine "1000Rnd_Gatling_30mm_Plane_CAS_01_F"; player addWeapon "Gatling_30mm_Plane_CAS_01_F";

 

And... It doesn't work.

Can't switch weapon. I can't find it.

Is there something to add? It works in A2 but A3 didn't. How could this happen using almost same game engine?

 

Does anybody know how to make it work?

Adding vehicle weapons to infantry was disabled in the last patch 😭

It was used to exploit in multiplayer and destroy public servers, so it was disabled.

You can thank the idiots for that who's only purpose is to destroy the fun for others.

Out of interest, do you know how the command now determines if a weapon is intended for vehicles?

I only skimmed over it, I think it was something with turret

"type" parameter

If you want to make infantry config variant of GAU then you can change type to 1
