## Community notes

1. From Arma 3 1.14 

```sqf
hint str ([player] call BIS_fnc_unitAddon) // same as unitAddons (typeOf player)
```

1. To return the addon that a weapon belongs to, use [BIS_fnc_weaponAddon](../functions/BIS_fnc_weaponAddon.md) instead. E.g. 

```sqf
(primaryWeapon player call BIS_fnc_weaponAddon); // return: "A3_Weapons_F_Rifles_Khaybar"
```
