Vehicle Repair - Via Support Vehicles

[zeotrope 24]

Hi All,

Was wondering how the new support vehicles work in regards to related configs etc. What commands etc.

I have re-skinned the CHEETAH (A Panther with a bucket) and would like to use this vehicle as support....so that I can pull up along side a damaged asset, hope into the damaged vehicle and have it auto repair.

Where do I start? Has anybody had a go at this ?

I believe a custom unit config where you define that the vehicle is a service provider you can archive simple result. If you look at BI stock support truck configs they have certain code lines that enable service options:

transportFuel = 3000;

transportRepair = 200000000;

supplyRadius = 6.8;

transportAmmo = 2000;

attendant = true;

just include these lines in your cfgvehicles config like BI example below to enable these features

class CfgVehicles {

class Car; // External class reference

class Car_F : Car {

class HitPoints; // External class reference

};

class Truck_F : Car_F {

effect = "ExhaustEffectHEMTT";

Thank you John. Works great.

Just a fast question, as I could not find a class cfg file does this means I have to open and create a new one called vechicles.cfg? Did not see a execVM in there so it made me wonder on where and how to make it.

Thanks in advance...
