There is already a scripting command for checking if a weapon is lowered.
isWeaponLowered = weaponLowered player;
return value = boolean
would be nice to have a scirpting feature that forces the player but most important the AI, to lower or raise his weapon even when he is walking. This command should be aplyable independent from their current behaviour mode.
_unit lowerweapon true / false;
_Unit raiseweapon true/false;
those commands could be very usefull for Mission- and Modmakers.
The only way a ai-unit will walk around with a lowered weapon at the moment is when he is set to careless or relax mode.
But this will also effect the units abillity to walk in formation and its spotting Beahviour.
In aware mode their are only walk around with raised weapons (besides running/jogging) wich looks realy unrealistic and could be changed with that new command. (try to walk or run a few kilometers with your rife raised all the time, its impossible)
You can actually already control weapon with WeaponOnBack and WeaponInHand actions:

Thanks for the fast answer!!! Never expected the feedback tracker would be this efficient.
However the disricption says:
Change is persistent with player,
---> but AI units will change back to suit their current behaviour mode <-----.
---> AI generally keep their rifles safe unless moving or targeting.<-------
and these are the problem I would like have to resolved with the new scripting Commands.
Maybe I'm wasn't realy emphazising what I wanted from this request, so my apologies and I will try to narrow down the specifics in the description.
