Description:
When distances are too long for voice communication* and as a quick alternative to radio communication* at short range, we are proud to release the Tactical Hand Signals. The THS provides, in a MilSim vision, some simples an clear hand signals you can use in any situation. All these animations were made by ourselves to be as clear and natural as possible.
* when using TFAR or ACRE2
Features:
- Tap shoulder action to informe your mates without a word
- 8 original animations based on real hand signals, designed to accomodate gameplay as well as aesthetics
- Customisable key bindings to fit your keyboard configuration
Installation:
To install the Tactical Hand Signals you should use modfolders to keep it seperate from the official game content to prevent issues.
With Arma 3 you can use different ways to set up your modfolders to use custom content you have downloaded.
Please visit the
Arma 3 Mod install instructions page for more information about using custom mods and addons in Arma 3.
Included files:
crp_tactical_hand_signals.pbo
Usage:
When THS is enabled, the keys that have been assigned using the CBA system will trigger hand signal animations. You can disable THS by pressing the "enable/disable THS" key.
By default, THS actions are bound to the 1-9 keys, so enabling THS will override the AI command controls. Just disable THS if you need to command AI.
Default controls :
- P : enable/disable THS
- 1 : tap shoulder
- 2 : stop
- 3 : get cover
- 4 : forward
- 5 : rally up
- 6 : engage
- 7 : point
- 8 : hold
- 9 : warning
All key bindings can be customized from the CBA key binding menu, which you can find in configure > controls > configure addon.
If you use ALT for Freelook, you will have to bind each key twice in the binding menu. This is because of how the CBA key bindings system handles ALT, CTRL and SHIFT.

Future plans:
Emperias is already working on two more animations

Is it possible to make an aircraft carrier hand signals mod? I know there are a ton of hand signals that you would have to add in.
This is something like Ace3's hand signals,but there's more of them!
actually, ace uses our animiations
Possible to change default key bindings? I'm thinking it should be somewhere in the .pbo? Maybe like in the XEH_preClientInit.sqf
