The Commonwealth update added a new feature that allows players to take photographs.

Usage

The view through the seeker

1. Add the Model PH-324 Camera (SPEX_K35_PH324) through the Arma 3 Arsenal.

2. Add at least one 35mm 36Rnd Super-XX Film Roll (SPEX_36rnd_Super_XX_Film) through the Arma 3 Arsenal.

3. In game, press B to bring up the camera.

4. Look through the seeker by pressing Right Mouse Button and press Left Mouse Button to take a photograph.

Color correction can be applied by pressing Left CTRL + Right Mouse Button

Enable Screenshot Creation

By default, the camera will not create an actual screenshot. To enable this, go to

Pause Menu >> Addon Options >> Spearhead 1944 >> Camera creates a screenshot

and tick the box. Now, each time a photograph is taken with the camera, a screenshot is saved in <ProfileFolder>/screenshots/SPEX_Film/

Event

Every time a photograph is taken, the scripted event SPEX_System_Infantry_Camera_Photograph_TakenEvent is triggered. Scenario creators or modders can subscribe to that event with

[ missionNamespace, "SPEX_System_Infantry_Camera_Photograph_TakenEvent", _code ] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler;

The following arguments are passed to the code.

params ["_player", "_photoGraphedObjects"]

  • _player: Object - The unit who took a photograph
  • _photoGraphedObjects: Array of Objects - All objects in the view of the player when the photograph was taken
