PIP scopes: how to make discrete magnification stick?

[tpw 2313]

Hi all

 

I've been playing around with a config to add CBA PIP functionality to the default Arma3 scopes such as the MRCO, ERCO etc. Just because I can, I want to extend the scope functionality so a scope may offer different magnification levels.  I've got 3 classes of scopes:

 

1 - Fixed magnification. PIP works great, and scope zeroing works and is remembered

2 - Variable magnification (eg 1x --> 6x). Scopes can be zoomed in/out with numpad +/-,  and the zoom sticks and  is remembered. Zeroing works and is remembered

 the next time the scope is used

3 - Discrete  magnification (eg 1x, 2x, 4x, 6x). Scope's magnification can be incremented/decremented with numpad +/-, but the magnification doesn't stick. The next time the scope is used it will use the default magnification. Zeroing is fine.

 

So I've looked at plenty of other scope configs in which the discrete zoom is remembered, and can't for the life of me figure out why mine doesn't work. If anyone could cast an eye over my sample config I'd be very grateful!

 

Cheers
