Notes on the Xeno's Vehicle Rearm script for n00bs like me

Note 1: it works properly only if there is no more vehicles in the trigger. Problem is, that even a simple helipad portable light "PortableHelipadLight_01_red_F"  IS a vehicle. Which means that if it was placed in the trigger, it will be listed in "thislist" variable, and [thislist select 0] in the activation script will do zilch, because your vehicle would not be in first position - hence script will not work for you. So be sure that there is nothing else in the trigger that had been placed by you.

 

Note 2: code

_type = typeOf _object;
_object vehicleChat format ["Servicing %1... Please stand by...", _type];

will give you name of the vehicle in the form of class name, which is like "B_Heli_Light_01_armed_F" and not very informative. But you can do better. Just make it look like:

_type = typeOf _object;
_type_name = getText(configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _type >> "displayName");
_object vehicleChat format ["Servicing %1... Please stand by...", _type_name];

and you will have nice "AH-9 Pawnee" name instead.

 

Note 3: you can safely remove code

while {(fuel _object) < 0.99} do {
	_object setFuel ((fuel _object + 0.1) min 1);
	sleep 0.01;
};

And leave just 

_object setFuel 1;

All that it is doing just the slowing the movement of a fuel indicator to it's 100% position. Leave it only if you want it for "immersion" sake, and then tweak sleep and step parameters as you like.
