How to find the NVG/Heatfilter code in arma 2

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Hey guys,
Basically here's my question:
I would like to find the code in arma 2 that applies an nvg filter to scopes and the code that applies the heatvision filter to scopes for both the l85 and as50 thermal. I am familiar with how you could use cheatengine to scan for increasing/decreasing values to find where your health is in memory etc etc. But how can I search for where the vision filter is in memory? I know this has been done since there are weapons in dayZ Namalsk that are nvg compatible and are not nvg compatible in Arma 2 (for example the vss), which must mean the filter has been ported over.


Thanks

Ok so noone replied to me but I figured this out. If you know how to work with multi-level pointers the offsets are:

0xDA8208] + 0x13A8] + 4] + 0xC16] <---------------- NVG
0xDA8208] + 0x13A8] + 4] + 0xC18] <---------------- Thermals

What do you do with this? Write a hexadecimal (in Visual Studio the type is DWORD) 0x1 into the address of 0xC16 to get NVGs. If you do this and click N you have nightvision.
For thermals you write a hexadecimal 0x1 into the address of 0xC18. When you do this the thermals will blink on and off. Just set up an infinite while loop with a break statement so you can toggle the thermals on and off.

The offmode for both is 0x0. And that's how its done.

If you have no idea what to do with multilevel pointers or what dark magic I am talking about look up FLEEP's hacking tutorials on youtube.
