Customizable bindings
Several mission controls use Arma 3 Custom Controls. If a listed default does not work, open Arma 3 Controls, select Custom Controls and check these entries:
- User Action 5 — ANPR; default Numpad Divide
- User Action 7 — Police backup; default J and used with Shift
- User Action 8 — Actions menu; default 2 and used with Shift
- User Action 9 — Red Gull; default K
- User Action 10 — Interaction; default Left Windows
- User Action 11 — Dispute system; default Home
Changing one of these User Actions changes the corresponding mission hotkey. Standard ArmA controls such as Get Over and Night Vision also follow your personal ArmA key bindings.
Troubleshooting
- Interaction not working — bind User Action 10 manually in Custom Controls.
- Actions menu not opening — make sure you are on foot, conscious, unrestrained and not already performing an action.
- Storage not opening — unlock the vehicle or confirm that you own it and are close enough.
- Emergency controls not working — confirm you are in the correct faction vehicle and, where required, are the driver.
- Medic request unavailable — wait for the incapacitated request timer to allow another request.
