Thanks for you quick correction and update.

Thanks for the confirmation. I switched to using gunnerView instead due to this issue https://feedback.bistudio.com/T176847 which I discovered while making head-cued turrets https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2680118205

Hi thanks for your work. However I agree with CY3ER MISFIT, your script is not working on some 3CB (Land Rover), RHS (SOCOM vehicles) and CUP vehicles.
The laser is spawned but look to be stopped in the chamber, maybe due to the fact there is 3D inside the barrel which is blocking the signal. Plus sometimes (with smaller caliber) the laser beem is larger than the barrel itself.
To make it more efficient, and avoid issue, could you correct your script by spawning the laser at GunEnd (instead of GunBeg memory) and use the inverted vector gunend to gunbeg to obtain the correct laser direction.
With this solution as GunEnd is 99% of the time set at the end of the gun barrel, it avoids 3D issue with laser spawning but blocked in the chamber.
Thanks in advance and have nice christmas holidays !

Should already work for all standard turrets and pilot cameras. Let me know if you find a vehicle that doesn't work.

Is there a plan for compatibility with the big mod groups (RHS, CUP, FIRWIL, 3CB) ?

All clients need it. Server technically wouldn't care.

Client side or server side?

Ah, yeah that's due to depending on the base game turret animation updates. Not much improvement possible without redoing in a more complicated method.

Mod's pretty solid. There's still some stuttering but i can live with it, the problem is that sometimes it ends up misaligned from the center when aiming a little more than a few hundred meters away.
