Applying NVG Settings to all units of side

[Blitzen88 16]

I know this is a heavily discussed issue but I can't piece it together despite searching and trying for several hours.  Im trying to setup a script which will remove or add NVG goggles to each side based upon how the script is called via init.  The idea is to setup an easy and fast way to quickly configure NVG settings for each side.

 

This is what I have but I cant get it to work:

 

/*==========================================================================================
				Arma III AI NightVision Settings
===========================================================================================*/
//	1) East NVG Setting - "True" to Add NVGs for all East Units, "False" to Remove NVGs for all East Units
//	2) West NVG Setting - "True" to Add NVGs for all West Units, "False" to Remove NVGs for all West Units
//	3) Independent NVG Setting - "True" to Add NVGs for all Independent Units, "False" to Remove NVGs for all Independent Units
//	4) IR Laser Setting - "True" to enable IR Lasers for all units equipped with NVGs, "False" to disable IR Lasers for all units with NVGs
//	5) Amount of time (in seconds) that will pass before the script loops
		
_EastNVG = _this select 0;
_WestNVG = _this select 1;
_AAFNVG = _this select 2;
_IRLaser = _this select 3;
_Time = _this select 4;

if (_EastNVG) then {
		{
			if ((side _x) == East) then {			
			_x linkitem "NV_Goggles_Opfor";			
			_x action ["nvGoggles", _x];			
			_x EnableIRLasers _LaserSetting;			
			};			
		} forEach allUnits;
	} else {
		{
			if ((side _x) == East) then {			
			_x unlinkItem hmd _x;			
			_x EnableIRLasers False;
			};		
		} forEach allUnits;
	};

Systemchat "AI NightVision Settings Loaded";
sleep _time;
[] execvm Script.sqf

 

My goal is do something like that for each side (East, West, Indep).  If the input from init is "True" then the unit is given NVGs and they can operate their IR laser.  If the setting is set to "False" then the NVGs are removed and their IR laser is turned off.  The script is not complete but I cant get it to work for one side so I havent attempted to make it work for all the other sides.

I got it to work if anyone wants to check it out.
