1. Config Values

1.1 Barrel Switching

class CfgWeapons {
    class MyMG {
        ace_overheating_mrbs = 3000; //Mean Rounds Between Stoppages (this will be scaled based on the barrel temp)
        ace_overheating_slowdownFactor = 1; //Slowdown Factor (this will be scaled based on the barrel temp)
        ace_overheating_allowSwapBarrel = 1; // 1 to enable barrel swap. 0 to disable. Meant for machine guns where you can easily swap the barrel without dismantling the whole weapon.
        ace_overheating_dispersion = 0.75; //Dispersion Factor (this will be scaled based on the barrel temp)
    };
};

1.2 Custom jam types

class CfgWeapons {
    class Pistol_Base_F;
    class MyRevolver : Pistol_Base_F {
        ace_overheating_jamTypesAllowed = ["Fire","Dud"]; //Allowed and default values are ["Eject", "Extract", "Feed", "Fire", "Dud"]. In the example here a revolver does not eject, extract, or feed on each shot to those values are removed.
    };

1.3 Custom jam clearing animation

class CfgWeapons {
    class MyMG {
        ACE_clearJamAction = "GestureReloadMX"; // Custom jam clearing action. Default uses reload animation, use an empty string to undefine
    };
};

1.4 Cook Off

class CfgWeapons {
    class Rifle_Long_Base_F ;

    class MySniper : Rifle_Long_Base_F {
        ace_overheating_closedBolt = 1; // Closed bolt, can cook off from barrel heat.
    };

    class MyMG : Rifle_Long_Base_F {
        ace_overheating_closedBolt = 0; // Open bolt, can only cook off on failure to fire type jams.
    };
};
