AN/PEQ-25 Weapon Mounted Laser Designator

Description
Early Development Warning
While nearly feature complete, this mod is still in very early development - I haven't even tested it in multiplayer yet. Expect many bugs and/or gamebreaking issues until more testing is done.

Introduction
The AN/PEQ-25 Weapon Mounted Laser Designator is a near-future (fictional) successor to the AN/PEQ-15 IR laser pointer. The AN/PEQ-25 adds a secondary emitter capable of designating targets for aircraft equipped with laser guided munitions.

Usage
- Equip the AN/PEQ-25 via arsenal or another method
- Select the weapon on which the designator is mounted
- Arm the designator via either the included CBA keybind (default: Alt + L) or ACE interaction equipment menu
- To fire the laser, hold the key which you use to toggle your laser pointer (Common > Headlights On/Off)
- While firing, the IR laser and a UI indicator will blink rapidly

NOTE: While armed, the designator and IR laser are momentary (will only fire while holding down the laser key) and linked. Once disarmed, normal IR laser operation is resumed.

Maximum Designator range: 5000m

Even with the key held down, the laser will only be active while your weapon is raised or deployed. Imagine a pressure switch on the weapon which your character will release when obviously not aiming at anything.

Compatibility
No known incompatibilities (again, not thoroughly tested). The designator is mountable on all weapons which can use the vanilla IR laser pointer, including mod weapons, no compatibility patch needed.

Any side should be able to use the item and the script will spawn the correct side laser target.

Todo: (in no particular order)
ACE Laser Codes
Multiplayer Testing
Expand functionality to other IR laser units

Here is a descritpion of the mod: You press Alt+L and the game says "AN/PEQ-25 could not be armed" :). The mod does basically nothing so have fun with 0.4 megabytes less storage on your PC :))))

Ive been using this mod fine for awhile but suddenly whenever i turn it on it says "The AN/PEQ-25 cannot be armed" any idea what is wrong

do see one issue though. cant seem to activate the Designator laser, despite the laser being.. .on? .. tryna fire a Pike 40mm out of a m203 rifle from base game as a test, but cant seem to get it to arm, keeps telling me " the AnPEQ-25 could not be armed.

now.. is this just because im tryna use it with a M203? or the fact im running ace and im forgetting to do something..?

Well this is sex.

@[UMA]AlexMason That would likely mean a new model, which I'm not interested in spending time on. If someone would like to contribute one I'm open to it though.

Is it possible to make a variant of ANPEQ on the top of the rail?

@lyndell The beam is just the built in IR laser. The designator will have a 5 km max range due to limitations in the scripting engine. Nothing I can do about either of those things.

@J-Money That's what the overhaul is for, just being careful how I do it so server/mission admins can decide if they want to allow that.
