Magazines taken from RHS Pouch slot(s) remain inanimate

[DegmanDMAN]

Magazines with animations (on example depleting bullets and moving spring) will not be animated when taken from RHS pouch slots. Magazine animations will work again if they're dropped on the ground and then loaded into the rifle. Possibly engine limitation?

Tested with:

• USMC Grenadier
• M4A1 (M203)
• 30Rnd P-MAG Gen 3
• Pouch Preset: PC Gen III [UBGL]

First depleted magazine (animation works correctly)

Second depleted magazine (taken from pouch preset slot - magazine animations not working):

Note the screenshots are from World editor, but the issue was discovered in Arma Reforger stable version with only RHS mods running. Someone verify?

I managed to eliminate this issue for my pouches by introducing a script component which reactivates the magazines when character is taking them from RHS pouch slot(s) into a weapon. I will share it here with you. Consider yourself authorized to incorporate it into RHS mods and do whatever changes you see fit.

Use:

1. Create a new script component file using the script below
2. Add the new component to all RHS pouch prefabs that use initial slot(s) in RHS_EquipmentStorageComponent

Variable/Function names (change to your liking):

Vars
CROMIL_RHSPouchStorage
CROMIL_WatchedRHSPouchSlots

Functions
CROMIL_RHSPouchOnMagazineDetached
CROMIL_RHSPouchMagazineWake
CROMIL_IsAuthoritative

	protected ref array<InventoryStorageSlot> CROMIL_WatchedRHSPouchSlots;

	override void OnPostInit(IEntity owner)

			InventoryStorageSlot slot = CROMIL_RHSPouchStorage.GetSlot(i);
			if (!slot)
				continue;

			CROMIL_WatchedRHSPouchSlots.Insert(slot);
			slot.GetDetachedEntityInvoker().Insert(CROMIL_RHSPouchOnMagazineDetached);
		}

I think this is related to a vanilla bug. Not sure if to be fixed or wait til fixed in game, thanks for the script anyway.
