Need help with limiting heal script usage.

[A-SUICIDAL 11]

I am using a heal script in my coop mission, but I am trying to make it so players start with 3 "Med Kits" and when they run out I want to make it so they can get more from a field hospital(or other medical related object or vehicle). I cannot use Norrin's revive script in this mission because it conflicts with a few of other scripts that I created. In Norrin's revive, there is the ability to take bandages and med packs from a field hospital. I tried examining the way Norrin did it, but it's a little over my head and my attempts to create a way to do it have not been working out at all, so I figured I'd ask for help here. The purpose of limiting the 'Med Kits" is so I have a reason to keep the 2 playable medics in my mission. If I can't limit the "Med Kits", then there is no reason for me to keep the medics or the field hospitals that they can deploy - in the mission -and I really want to keep the medics and their field hospitals. My mission creation is done, this is the last nail I need to get tapped in. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Keep track of a variable and reduce it everytime they use a "heal".

Might learn something about the script or scripting in general in the process. It takes time, but its worth it in the end.

I think Celery had a really nice self heal script that included limited uses you could just drop into your mission. Yup, here it is: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=106204

Thank you so much guys. I'm going try it right now.

-----------------

I just tried it, it works great. I'm trying to addAction to a field tent now to "Take bandages", no more than 3, but I'm having a little trouble with it, but I should get it figured out soon.
