Auto Weapon Lower

Auto Weapon Lower (AWL) is a simple quality-of-life mod that automatically lowers your current weapon based on a configurable set of conditions.

One of my biggest pet peeves with Arma is that your character defaults to holding his weapon raised and pointed. Not only is this unrealistic, it increases the potential for friendly fire and affects stamina conservation (especially with ACE).

You can change the settings of AWL in the addon options under "Auto Weapon Lower". There are a number of configurable "checks" that you can enable or disable at your preference. Enabling a check means that particular condition will block AWL from activating. For example, enabling the check for "Leaning" means your weapon will not lower if you are currently leaning. Disabling a check means AWL will not even consider that condition.

Additional features include:
- enable or disable the entire mod with one setting or keybind
- default and additional shooting delay for lowering weapon
- restore weapon state after accessing gear and using medical (vanilla and ACE)
- automatically enable/disable check for weapon flashlight/laser during the daytime
- speed up weapon lower/raise animations

All settings automatically apply once you change them; no need to restart the mission!

This mod is clientside, no need to install on the server.

If you encounter a bug or unintended behavior, please make a comment about it below or feel free to make a new Steam discussion!

In the future, I would like to replace Arma's clunky weapon lowering with a new animation (gesture), similar to Squad's implementation. This new gesture will be less pronounced as well as being quicker to switch to and from.
