I'm also having this issue. For some reason activating the ITN on vehicles hard-stucks that to weapons. Even if I get rid of the laser device it stays on.

The IR ILLUM effect stays on once it's activated on the rubber boat. Even if you switch laser modes, the beam remains stuck on

@OAK which effect persisted? Did the IR AIM's laser beam stay on even when turned off or the mode changed to a mode without an aiming laser? Or was it the ILLUM beam (which is actually a flashlight, according to the game engine) that couldn't be turned off via the power button or mode changing?

@GhostJB
Additional scenario I used for testing was turning on the IR laser on the rubber boat. After that, I could not turn off the IR laser again.

@GhostJB
As far as I have tested, it is = IR AIM, ILLUM, Flash IR, IR DUAL.

@OAK which effect was permanently on? Was it the laser beam, the illuminator, or a flashlight?

Do you know about a bug when turning on the laser while inside a vehicle? Recently, I was on a boat and left the laser turned on. After getting back on land, I couldn't turn it off anymore — it stayed on for the rest of the game. I had to leave and rejoin the server to fix it.

@T.Justin you may have accidentally set the "auto-on" feature at some point. Open the device interface (tap default key F4) then hold right-click over the activation/power button, drag you cursor down to the "X" icon, and release. This should turn off the auto activation feature.

Hi does anyone know how to fix the issue where my laser activates automatically after every movement

Got it, thanks

@simpel it moves the start-point for lasers attached to weapons with that attribute forwards (towards the muzzle/away from the player) by that value of meters. Its purpose is to push the start of the laser outside of the over-sized geometry LOD of some weapons (notably the vanilla belt-fed machineguns) so that the laser will be visible. (In arma, if a laser generated with the drawLaser command begins inside of a geometry object, the engine will assume its end-point to be the same as the start-point, and you won't get a beam, just the dot.)

What is the purpose of the gjb_itn_beltFedFix variable and how do I use it?

Pistol lights only work some of the time, and by some of the time, I mean in Ace arsenal. When I try to use pistol lights from MPP, or Tier 1 Weapons, they don't work except in Ace arsenal. The vanilla pistol light works fine but modded pistol lights don't work.

GhostJB HI! When I press F4 (default button) I have an error - can't find some image! Can you fix it please?

could you add a simple error check for guns without lasers?

Got it, I I'll try to fix this issue and inform you if I'll ever do this this.

@DimiDerevo that's a known issue which I caught very late, and the fix has been involved enough that I never was able to package it and push it as an update. Wish I had better to say about it, but I haven't had much space in my life for Arma these past few years

Hi there, love your mod, but I found an issue. Controls are not aligned properly when interface size is not set to "small" or when using non-standard aspect ratio, 21:9 in my case.

Understood, I'll look into that, thanks

@Kill3rCat best way is probably to have a hidden rail attachment that is always equipped with the IZLID "weapon". ITN only looks at the side attachments for if and where it should generate a laser beam

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to make a compat for the IZLID for this mod. Part of the problem is that it is not an attachment, it is simply its own weapon item. Tried adding an entry in CfgITNCompat but it seemed to have no effect.

When entering buildings the laser goes into the rifle, anyone know a fix?

Is there any way to increase the default power of IR beams at IR AIM HI mode?

All functions do work but the beams are so weak that I can't see from air vechile(such as helicopters).

I used ITN with Avalon compat.

And a little suggestion/request. SPS Weapons V2 has some really cool shit. Would love to see a compat for that.

Could you make it so the settings for the devices are saved with the weapon when dropping it. Reason is, TSP Animate has a QuickDraw function, which works by the main weapon being slung, which basically attaches is to the player, which removes it from the weapon slot. Everytime you sling, you have to reapply the settings for your device. Would be very nice, if that worked.

I got a question I’m having trouble turning the laser on and the flashlight it’s like they don’t work, can someone please post their settings for me

Can you add a bikey for MP use?

How do i change the option back to clicking buttons on the peq itself rather than clicking on a gui menu

How do i change the dot thickness/size on the modes like IR AIM LO/HI ?

Can you please add a keybind that is only for "Temporary Activate Device" as in as long as the keybind is pressed the device is active, but it never works as a toggle?

Does anyone know of a way to make the IR lasers brighter? don't care if it also affects the vis HI and Low. Need the IR HI to be bright enough so people can see it.

I have a bug, I'm using a laser from the rhs mod, but when I activate the laser, its focus is facing my back, I'm aiming north but the laser is projected at my back

whats name of a canting weapon mod you's using in your video::???

Can you add an option to use vanilla lights function, some modded flashlights don't work with ITN and it'd be nice to have a backup

Hi! Can you make the visible and ir laser brighter? We need it a lot! Please! Thanks...

Brighter flashlights for AI too?

@watchclockgit If you aren't also running ACE, yes. Laser beams are more visible during high humidity, and the base game humidity index is simply a yes or no based on whether it is raining or not.

is it normal for the laser beams to only be really visible when its raining?

There is a new canting sys for rifles and pistols in Animate - Rewrite. If you have enough time, please consider adding support for it, thank you

plan on adding for support for jca weapons?

@GhostJB
Ok, thanks

@HBAOplus unfortunately I don't think a fix for this is practical. HATG says it works by creating a collision box around the player which blocks line of sight, and that box is what is blocking things like lasers and (I'm guessing) other physics objects. This is similar to why ACE's trenches sometimes block lasers when you don't expect it, and why ITN has to treat LMG's differently that other weapons.

Due to how Arma generates lasers with scripts, I think the only solution would require spawning a second laser outside of the box but in-line with the first laser, which would be roughly twice as resource intensive as just the one laser, along with some other details to clean things up and look pretty.

ITN's laser may be blocked by Hide Among The Grass - HATG when its hiding mechnism activated. Same goes to ACE's grenade thrown.

Hi Ghost, do you have a guide for creating compat files for ITN? I'd love to get some native support going for some of my mods

Is it possible to make AI also use the illuminators and new flashlights?

The lasers getting screwed if we use it while in a vehicle is a massive game breaking bug, had a bad day during an op when we used ir illuminator to shine light for boat driver to see then got off the boat and turned off the illuminator but for whatever reason there was a massive light still on like full a brightness flashlight with the diffused ir flashlight radius even when device was in off position

I also notice that when ITN activated on player, when boarding AI controled Helicopters, it will fly straight up (raise) all the way instead of moving forward. Same issue happened on Advanced Vault System.
"but since Arma3 2.10 that 'arrow' is considered to be a collision volume item, So AI heli pilot will try to avoid been impact with the item. "

Will you please adding "skipWhenMissingDependencies = 1;" to all the compat patches and placed them to the main mod addons folder?

@GhostJB the nvg filters are not working, will there be a fix?

Hey @GhostJB do you have any plans down the line to make a compat for the BWMod?
