It'd be cool if this would disable when you're either exhausted or your upper body is injured, so you revert to slower.

This mod is, far too buggy to use... Rifle often disappears and gets replaced with a generic invisible "Rifle" item
Or you get forced to pull out the wrong thing

Also the mod adds an invisible object that hovers infront of the player, which, messes with a few other mods, namely Liberation, since, the ability to build a FOB is completely taken away by this invisible object infront of players

it forces me to hold the binoculars instead of swapping back to my primary weapon

There is a bug about GGE_Swap that says "addMagazineCargoGlobal, GGE, File gge.swap/functions/gge_swap/init.sqf" so im wondering why im having this issues. i never get this issue before until now.

есть хорошая альтернатива моду? ибо пропадает винтовка, призрак)

Unfortunately the swap doesn'(t work as well as it used to, for some reason.
Now all the wepaons seem to clip within the player's core, instead of sticking to the chest, that's a shame :S

Idk if it's a conflict with one opf our mods, but I miss this mod; it was great

When you have no primary weapon in your inventory, when holstering your weapon through ACE a "ghost" gun appears in your primary weapon slot... not sure how that works but would be nice if anyone pointed me to a hotfix or something to get rid of this

BUG when Binos are on my kit. it will keep trying to switch between primary and Binos swiftly
Reticuli Aug 26, 2023 @ 3:55pm 
@ Hize Yep, even if you just change weapons back to the primary it will switch the binoculars. I thought it was just an issue where if you changed to binoculars it wouldn't change back without you putting them in your pack, but it's worse than that. You must keep the binoculars in your pack at all times except when you use them, which makes the range portion of the Compass & Range mod sort of useless with this GGE mod.
Hize ツ Aug 14, 2023 @ 12:58pm 
A bug will occur when binoculars are present. If present, it will pick up the binoculars after swapping weapons for primary weapons.
Reticuli Aug 13, 2023 @ 9:16pm 
I figured it out! It's the Captives/Surrender ACE stuff. GGE assumes you've surrendered if you have the No Weapon selection.

@General Ghost Delta I have no idea what you're talking about. Ctrl A or D will change which side the weapon is on. All this mod does is speed up weapon changing and slightly change the animation.
Reticuli Aug 13, 2023 @ 8:09pm 
Wow, this mod conflicts with ACE, preventing AI infantry from responding to you until you draw a weapon. You can just sling your rifle and run around taking everyone captive. Broken. Tragic, because it's otherwise been the greatest weapon swap mod. Fast. Efficient. Makes switching to the pistol actually worthwhile rather than reloading.
Axel09 Aug 12, 2023 @ 2:39pm 
I still don't understand how to change the side of the weapon
Reticuli Aug 10, 2023 @ 12:04am 
This is the mod causing the helo ascent bug?! Been trying to track the cause down. I also am getting a slight freeze and reloading of some missions at the very beginning after the first frame shows up -- I finally narrowed that down to this mod. I am having some new crashes, but I'm not sure what's causing it. This mod is the only one that doubles the speed of weapons swapping and does so without major, overt bugs. Just these subtle, random issues.

Same issue as batman, my rifle appears inside the players body, any idea how to fix?
Tenebrum Jul 26, 2023 @ 5:36am 
The weapon appears in the player's body, nothing to do with the photo..
benji.ksr Jul 4, 2023 @ 8:07pm 
Inconsistent weapon position.
Vagrant Apr 6, 2023 @ 4:57pm 
I really enjoy this mod, but for some reason it was causing my helicopters and AI pilots to ascend to the heavens. Took me several hours of removing mods to figure out which one was the culprit. I'm not sure why that is, though I suspect it may have something to do with how the weapon attaches, and how the object might be detected 'beneath the helicopter'.
Recursos Humanos Mar 24, 2023 @ 9:36pm 
any chance to fix this mod and put all your other mods together? A single modpack?
Hague Mar 24, 2023 @ 12:32pm 
Any chance of this being updated and fixed? it kinda works yet not really I would love if it did so would lots of people.
R3tro- Mar 23, 2023 @ 9:54pm 
society if this mod worked tho
Bax Feb 6, 2023 @ 9:42pm 
This weapon swap / weapon slinging mod works and is ACTIVELY developed add of right now (2023): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2925047716

Are you aware of the issue where when trying to switch from any weapon to primary weapon, the binocs will always be switched to?
If not, well, when trying to switch to my primary weapon from any weapon slot, it will always switch me to my binocs.
KANE Jan 25, 2023 @ 10:39am 
What outfit is that?
Megabyte_Giga⚝ Jan 16, 2023 @ 4:57am 
The weapon entered my character model. What's the matter?
Bax Dec 31, 2022 @ 9:52pm 
I so much want this to work. Please someone out there... (imagine sad face).
Miroslav69 Dec 16, 2022 @ 2:35pm 
You don't know why, when I have all the mods from GGE, he's still looking at the gun on his back? :D
Bax Dec 13, 2022 @ 6:07am 
Same here, it penetrates the body or when using the alternative positioning it flies in front of the body.
Devokeyous Keyshawn Hamilton Dec 10, 2022 @ 5:53pm 
Rifle gets stuck inside of torso instead of hanging on the front.
dersworden Nov 5, 2022 @ 10:56am 
there is a small problem, I ask for help. I don't know how to tilt the weapon to be more tactful, I also can't start walking with a weapon on the edge. Please help me what to click on to do this. And so the mod is good and I'm not watching about the problem with disappearing weapons yet
pvt TOAST Nov 3, 2022 @ 9:51am 
if you read the "Primary weapon disappears into the void" above in popular discussions, Sergeant Hades gave a thorough explanation as to why the mod accidentally deletes the primary weapon. I wouldn't know how to fix this. The only things I can (barely) mod is cfgAmmo and cfgMagazines for ballistics and behavior. Someone with strong understanding on game mechanics would have to fix this. It doesn't look like it would be easy...perhaps someone with animation modding knowlege? Instead of using an invisible rifle (prob ItemCore) perhaps a command where the current rifle is copied OR perhaps a straight "attach your_rifle to chest in this orientation" animation command?
ooFrosty Nov 1, 2022 @ 3:51pm 
Tested 11/1/2022
Still buggy
1. Primary weapon may disappear permanently
2. When swapping back to primary while reloading secondary weapon, magazines disappear
Gaba Oct 19, 2022 @ 12:28pm 
pvt TOAST did go through with it?
pvt TOAST Oct 15, 2022 @ 2:39am 
primary weapon dissapearing, especially in multiplayer still. In the pinned discussions since march of 2021. I think its safe to say we can copy this mod and fix it.
Zak Bagans Sep 24, 2022 @ 12:26am 
So this mod causes issues with how the AI-Heli Transport works. It's not a huge issue but for anyone using support modules or Zeus it's a huge issue.
KoR Aug 24, 2022 @ 8:40am 
I too spent time understanding why the AI ​​in helicopters did not want to pass the waypoints and it is this mod that is the pity
ShieldMaiden17 Aug 21, 2022 @ 4:45pm 
I don't know if this issue has been reported as of yet but I spent hours trying to figure out what mod was fucking up my insertion via helicopters. finally i figured it out it was GGE:core and Swap weapons. what a shame because putting your weapon on your back makes little to no sense in a combat situation.
Reticuli Aug 2, 2022 @ 11:58am 
Besides not liking you switching to binoculars, putting your weapon on your shoulder also becomes an issue. I'm trying to also figure out if Double Weapon is causing a conflict. Still, this is the fastest weapon swap mod I've found yet and finally gives utility to swapping to pistol rather than reloading the rifle.
SirDutch Jul 30, 2022 @ 8:56am 
Weapon disappears sometimes drops to the ground, other than that I'm loving it. Can't wait for it to be fixed completey
resa Jul 29, 2022 @ 11:58pm 
will this ever be fixed
Lucinion Jul 27, 2022 @ 10:11pm 
this mod causes the Titan MPRL (AA) to not lock on
Reticuli Jun 28, 2022 @ 9:38pm 
The bug seems to have something to do with having anything in your binoculars/laser-rangefinder slot. It will keep swapping from primary weapon to the binoc slot, and you either have to trick it somehow buy quickly raising the primary weapon when it attempts to put it back on your shoulder, or you have to drop the binoc slot item. If you lose your weapon and show just empty hands gripping nothing because of the binoc slot bug or you've switched between ACE Arsenal and regular Arsenal and primary weapon has disappeared, which is also a bug apparently with it, then there's a good chance your gun is on the ground next to you.
Gidz_ZA Jun 19, 2022 @ 10:39am 
bugged - casues weapon to disappear!
Reticuli Jun 18, 2022 @ 1:21am 
This seems to cause your weapon to go MIA sometimes when you swap. It is very fast when it works properly, though.
强制吃屎 Jun 13, 2022 @ 8:28am 
I hope the author tries to directly use "the original bird helicopter side seat weapon switch action".


It seems that the game itself has such a switching weapon animation, such as switching sub-weapon animation while shooting in a helicopter

Please be sure to check out my comments!!!!

希望笔者尝试直接使用“原鸟直升机侧座武器开关动作”。



似乎游戏本身就有这样的切换武器动画,比如在直升机上射击时切换副武器动画
Nero Jun 11, 2022 @ 1:45pm 
there is a bug that when you do the tactical swap the game will eat your weapon
RBDR Jun 11, 2022 @ 9:48am 
Rifle does not disappear for me, instead it's like the model's position is INSIDE the player soldier's model. You can kind of see it when you bend at certain angles with third person view. Also sometimes it will automatically switch to binocs and refuse to switch back to the rifle.
Karami May 31, 2022 @ 2:33pm 
Great mod but definetly cannot recommend until the mod will be updated since the mod currently has a lot of issues
Kim Bong-un May 22, 2022 @ 7:08pm 
this is such a great mod, pls fix <3
Sergeant Hades May 21, 2022 @ 3:16pm 
I can't recommend this mod in it's current state until a fix is found unless you don't plan on fighting aircraft or know that your missions/modsets won't break the mod. It may have been broken due to Arma updates. I reported it to the Discord, so hopefully the mod makers are able to fix it :D

Issue #1: Primary weapon disappearing.

This issue is a result of the container that holds your primary weapon being deleted. The mod works by moving your rifle to a container in front of your character.

The container can disappears due to garbage cleaning scripts or conflicts with other mods that deletes it. Dynamic Recon Ops and Antistasi both are capable of breaking this mod.

Issue #2: Launchers refusing to lock on properly

This is something that I had just discovered recently. It seems that the container itself is being viewed as an obstacle, so some (if not all launchers) will refuse to lock onto anything. Needs to be confirmed though.
