MobileSupplies by [UTUM]Patxitron

My mobile supplies ArmA III script.

Description:

With this script you can make any vehicle acting like a mobile repair, resupply and rearm device to any other vehilcle (air and land) and also enables it to be a teleport target. It is possible that this script will work also for sea vehicles, but I've not tested it.

Features:

• Can be any vehicle (only land vehicles tested)
• Repairs, rearms and refuels any vehicle (only air and land vehicles tested)
• Can be a teleport target
• The vehicles assigned to this script can respawn when destroyed

Installation:

This script does not require mods nor add-ons. Just copy the ptxtrn folder into your mission and append the following lines in the description.ext file:

class CfgFunctions
{
	#include "ptxtrn\cfgfunctions.hpp"
};
class Params
{
	#include "ptxtrn\params.hpp"
};

Usage:

In the mission editor for each vehicle you want to be a supplies vehicle you must to give it a name and add the following sentence to the init field:

0 = ["west", this] call ptxtrn_fnc_supplies;

This will add the vehicle to the Blufor set of supplies vehicles. You can change the "west" option to "east", "civ" or "guer" to add to another side instead.

If you want the supplies vehicle to be a teletransport target, tou must add an object that can trigger the teleport action and add the following sentence to its init field:

0 = ["west", this] call ptxtrn_fnc_init_teleport;

As said before you can change the "west" option to "east", "civ" or "guer".

In the attached test mission, near the respawn point, you can find a heli and a Cheetah that are supplies vehicles for the west side. There is also a NATO flag pole wich is the teleport activator.

In another point of the map you can find a Hunter that is also a west side supplies vehicle and another NATO flag as teleport point.

Walk to the nearest NATO flag and you can see in the action menu three teleport actions in red, one for each vehicle.

There are also several vehicles that are not supplies vehicles to try the resupply, repair and refuel operations with them. The have reduced health, fuel and ammunition. Drive one of them to a supplies vehicle and when you are near and facing it, stop, and then you can select the action "Resupply and repair" in green.

Both vehicles (the supplies and the target) must be stopped (less that 3km/h) and landed (in case of air vehicles).

Any supplies vehicle can repair an resuply any vehicle of any side. But on the map, only the supplies vehicles of your own side are displayed (if the corresponding parameter is enabled).

If you enable the teleport, Full vehicles can be teleported: get in as driver, drive it to the teleport point and activate the option.

Parameters

When in mission player slots assigning you can adjunst several parameters of this script.

• Support vehicle deserted respawn delay (minutes): Delay to consider a supplies vehicle deserted and respawn it in its position at mission start. Set it to 0 to disable this functionality (Not working yet).
• Support vehicle destroyed respawn delay (seconds): Dalay to respawn a supplies vehicle after is has been destroyed. Set to 0 to no respawn at all. It respawns near the position is was restroyed.
• Ammobox included in support vehicle: Here you can select the type of ammobox to include in all supplies vehicles. Options are NONE, ARSENAL, VIRTUAL AMMOBOX SYSTEM and BOTH. In order to use the VIRTUAL AMMOBOX SYSTEM you must include it in yout mission (it is included in the example mission).
• Support vehicle marker shown in map: Set it to yes if you want a permament mark in the map for your supplies vehicles. Those marks are only visible for players of the same side of the vehicle's one.

Known problems

The deserted respawn does not work at tins moment.
