Cool tks for this mod!

@Nolzie Yea that makes sense, thanks, I'll see if I'll be able to pull that off.

pretty common in modern militaries to set up ambushes on insurgents and etc when they trip an IR flare or even more common is a tree-mounted device usually visible from up to 50m or so away where it starts flashing an IR strobe when someone trips the tripwire. this means someone with NVGs can observe an entire area rigged with such tripwires and focus fire in a specific direction

@Nolzie That's an interesting idea but it seems that Arma's IR flares are visible to the naked eye (I always assumed that they aren't, kinda like IR grenades).

Could you please elaborate on the use scenario for IR flares that you have in mind? 🤔

@Dunecat One thing, if I could suggest, perhaps an IR tripflare? Not sure if its possible or not.

@Smudge Unfortunately no, not straight out of the box at least. I was a bit disappointed by it myself. The descent rate is hardcoded in "F_20mm_Red" ammo config, so you'll need to either change that config or update the flare spawning script in the mod to slower the descent.

@hairysquatch Huh I didn't know about that mod, gonna try them together, thanks my man!

Can you control the rate of descent?

This with the brighter flare mod makes this very fun

Thanks Nolzie, glad you liked it!

Yea, it's strange that BI stopped literally few config lines away from having the thing in vanilla game. Guess they weren't okay with scripted functionality.

This is actually something that I expected would be included with all the bells and whistles of Arma 3 vanilla because they've added all this other stuff e.g. cyalume lights, flare and smoke modules but no tripwires? Really good to see someone took the initiative in this one and coded it together. Thanks for making it.

np :)

@AveryTheKitty Thank you, that's a great find! I'll change the model to that one asap.

there is an actual unused tripflare model btw "\A3\Weapons_F\Explosives\Flare_tripwire.p3d"

Yes, it does create a dependency so everyone will have to download it.

Haven't tried it, but it sounds dope! Question: if I use this on a mission will it require players to download this in order to play, or does it not create a dependency?

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

pretty cool~
