Modules:

• None

Steps to reproduce:

• Start a night mission
• Equip a MX Rifle with the "IR Laser Pointer" attachment and add some NVG to the unit
• Turn on Night Vision and the Laser
• Press the (default) 2 key to switch fire mode
• Laser is now turned off

That's different to the default behavior of the F key. And it just doesn't make sense. 😄

I tried doing:

//Save the flashlight/IR settings:
_flashlightOn = _unit isFlashlightOn _weapon;
_irLaserOn = _unit isIRLaserOn _weapon;

do the "switchWeapon" action

//Reset the flashlight/IR:
if (_flashlightOn) then {
    _unit action ["GunLightOn", _unit];
};
if (_irLaserOn) then {
    _unit action ["IRLaserOn", _unit];
};

Unfortunaitly, the "IRLaserOn" action always resets firing mode to singleshot (at least for mx)
There is a bug report from a few weeks ago about this, that I think we'll need: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=22954

Backlog, because not fixable atm.

Closing due to age, inactivity or already solved. May be re-opened if the issue is still present, even better just open a new up-to-date Issue.
