Fulton Recovery is a mod to enable a fulton recovery like in MGSV for units and vehicles.

Download: Fulton Recovery

Steam: Fulton Recovery

How the addon works

1. At missionstart sleep 3 secons and Check all units/vehicles if anybody has the special variable assigned mdhFulton

2a. if variable not assigned, add fulton actionmenu entry to all units/vehicles

2b. if variable is assigned, add fulton actionmenu entry only to units with assigned variable

3. sleep 5 seconds and start check from beginning

What happens to the fulton recovered unit/vehicle

the unit/vehicle gets lifted to 4.000 meter and then deleted

How to use it:

Variant A: only load the addon and play -> all units/vehicles have fulton action

Variant B: set the special variable ( this setVariable [ "mdhFulton" , ["actionTitle"] ] ) to any unit/vehicle -> specific units will have fulton action

Features

- Attach Fulton Recovery device to units and vehicles

- ability to enable Fulton Recovery only for specific units

- now MP-compatible

- added parachute for other players which get fulton recovered

Known issues

- dead units don't get correct attached to the parachute, i think it's an engine related problem

To activate Fulton Recovery to some specific units only, put the following into the initfield of the units:

this setVariable [ "mdhFulton" , [] ]

or

this setVariable [ "mdhFulton" , ["actionTitle"] ]

or

this setVariable [ "mdhFulton" , ["actionTitle",5] ]

or

this setVariable [ "mdhFulton" , ["actionTitle",5,"setThisVarTrueWhenFulton"] ]

Sik! If you can be bothered a script version would be sweet for MP reasons, when the MP version is done

@[FOXHOUND] Azza my first thought was a script version, but for usability reasons i decided to release it as addon. when i have implemented the mp-compatibility i will post the script version in the startpost ;)

Edit -> mp-compatibility added and new version released :)

Da habe ich mal eine frage , in welchem Szenario soll man dies nutzen ?

Verstehe den genauern sinn darin nicht ?
