Leaflets – Arma 3

Propaganda leaflets are a new feature introduced in Arma 3 Laws of War DLC (1.76)

⚠

Configuration may change before final release!

Mission Usage

Leaflets are a special weapon which can be fired both by a player or AI.

myDrone addMagazine "1Rnd_Leaflets_West_F";
myDrone addWeapon "Bomb_Leaflets";

Following magazine types are currently available, one for each side:

1Rnd_Leaflets_West_F
1Rnd_Leaflets_East_F
1Rnd_Leaflets_Guer_F
1Rnd_Leaflets_Civ_F

To let AI drop the leaflets, simply fire the weapon:

myDrone fire "Bomb_Leaflets";

Custom Leaflets

Leaflet visuals are tied to specific magazine type. They are defined in global Config.cpp, but can be overriden in Description.ext:

class CfgLeaflets
{
	class West // Configuration for 1Rnd_Leaflets_West_F
	{
		text = "Text of the leaflet"; // Text shown when previewing the leaflet full-screen. Ideally should be localized, so even player who cannot read the image can get the information
		texture = "myLeaflet_ca.paa"; // Leaflet texture shown when previewing the leaflet full-screen
		model = "myLeaflet.p3d"; // In-flight model. Generic white leaflet is used when not defined.
	}
};

Leaflet Preview

Once a leaflet falls on the ground, it can be inspected using hold action. It will bring up full-screen leaflet preview witrh ability to show localized text of the leaflet.

The inspect action cannot be currently added by script, but it's planned to have such option availabl for the final Laws of War DLC release.
