Arma 3: Leaflets

Propaganda leaflets are a new feature introduced in Arma 3 Laws of War DLC (Arma 3 v1.76)

Mission Usage

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

To add leaflets to an Utility Drone, use pylons settings in Eden Editor:

Alternatively, you can add them by script:

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

Several leaflet types exist apart from West, see the table below.

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 overridden 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. Should ideally be localised, 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. Optional; When undefined, generic white leaflet is used
    };
};

Leaflet Classes

Leaflet Preview

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