Whitelisting:
For (dedicated) server owners that run servers with CfgRemoteExec whitelisting enabled,
whitelist the following functions:
- SAN_fnc_ToggleHeadlamp
- SAN_fnc_sendJIPinfo


Scripting:
To toggle the headlamp by script, use: _unit call SAN_fnc_ToggleHeadlamp_local; It takes a local argument _unit and has a global effect.

To add new helmets, execute the following statements in a script (e.g. init.sqf):
SAN_Headlamp_Helmets append ["MyHelmet"];
SAN_Headlamp_ColorCompatibleLamps append ["MyHelmet"];

note: If you don't want to allow lamp color switching, don't execute the second statement.
