Heavy Weapons Framework

Description
This mod was a part of the Solar Auxilia mod for a while, but due to popular request I have made it into a completely standalone system.

So what does this mod do?
This mod adds specific animations to any weapon added to the CBA options or in the weapons config aswell, the main idea behind the mod is to restrict player movement with heavy weapons yet keep some mobility. When using a heavy weapon the player will be put into a special moveset, when in this custom moveset you can simply exit it by crouching or sprinting. You can fire the weapon whilst crouched, but they recoil will be near unmanageable. TLDR, stand still or mount/bipod your weapon to retain accuracy. It also makes ops alot more cinematic. You can also restrict heavy weapon usage when players are prone. You can also disable everything that was mentioned in addon settings.

Mod supports AI as well now.
I made it easy for players to add a weapon that is not supported by this system by default, you can adjust the array in addon settings. For modders out there, if you want your weapon to be compatible with the system without players adding it manually, add this line to your config, its simple as:
WBK_UseHeavyWeaponFramework = true;

This mod by default support these weapons:
  • Vanilla heavy MMG: Navid and SPMG
  • Solar Auxilia Rotary cannons
  • Weapon Research and Security MMG
  • NIArms minigun
  • OPTRE HMG: Etilka + variants
  • Z6 from Legion Studios, JLTS, and IDA

Known *issues*
  • System does not support any custom skeletons.

I am planning to fix those problems, as well as add stuff that people will request.

Thats all, hope you'll like it. If you want to use any of the animations from this mod in your project, or If you have questions, suggestions, bug reports or want to check out what i am working on now - please join my discord - https://discord.gg/UJfDvdyr7w

does this also add a handicap to enemy AI with heavy weapons? otherwise they have advantage

Is anyone else having an issue where his character does not switch from standing the heavy weapon firing position to secondary until you crouch?

Hey @WebKnight, By any chance do you allow to redistribute this mod within a single unit (semi milsim unit) mod?

@Webknight my friend

Any change to make that "first shot", while weapon still up, not happen?
It wasn't like this before the last update

@Quest4Cash, If ya haven't figured it out already, its from Legion Studios Mod.

I can't seem to get the hang of adding weapons to the mod. I do as instructed: I find the name, I put it in, try to use the weapon and it doesn't change anything. Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
