[HELP] Reliable vehicle rearming (from vanilla and mod vehicles)

Recommended Posts

EDITED on Oct 13th, 2022:


Folks, here is the best solution I have developed to rearm ground vehicles (works fine with nautical too but not really reliable with air vehicles, mainly from RHS, CUP, etc), so feel free to check the code and point fixes, changes, improvements. 

 

THY_VO_functions.hpp

Spoiler

class THY_VO_functions 
{
	tag = "THY"; 
	
	class rearming
	{
		file = "rearming";
		
		class VO_parameters
		{
			preInit = 1;
		};
		
		class VO_globalFunctions
		{
			preInit = 1;
		};

		class VO_coreGrd
		{ 
			preInit = 1;
		};
	};
};

		VO_grdServiceRange = 20;      // in meters, the area around the station that identifies the ground vehicle to be serviced. Default: 20.
		VO_grdCooldown = 5;          // in seconds, time among each available ground services. Default: 10.

Was it @Grumpy Old Man that had a script for (re)loading pylons?

 

No, I am not using GOM script here.

Hello thy. I have a very simple script that refuse rearms repairs vehicle. Its in a trigger area. If any vehicle player or AI enters the trigger. I have place a large fuel tank a repair pod and ammo crates in this area. Yes vehicles can use them but the code in the trigger areas works the best. AI units will move to the trigger area if low in resources most of the time. AI behavior for rearming refueling and repairing is still very sketchy at times. But it works during a  mission. If you want I can drop the code for you. It meets all my needs for mission design.

Oi, @avibird 1 @avibird 1 , I hope your code can bring ideas or, at least, help those who are looking for a simpler solution. Yes, please.

@thy_

hey here is the simple code it gets the job done!!!!. I am sure there is a more sophisticated and sexy way to do this put it checks off all the needs I need in a mission. a way for AI units and players to repair refuel and rearm.

 

call{{_x setDamage 0} Foreach thislist;}; call{{_x  setFuel 1} Foreach thislist;}; call{{_x setVehicleAmmo 1} Foreach thislist;hint "you are are in the Auto services sector.Your Vehicle will be Restored. Your can still take damage and will use up Ammo and fuel in the sector."}  

 

place a trigger down pick your size of the trigger areas and shape

 

Type none

activation any player

activation type present

repeatable

server only

condition call (this)

interval .05

on activation  please code above in box

 

trigger timer

timer type timeout

timer valves 1 1 1

trigger effects  SFX debug this give a beeping noise when in the trigger area.

 

I am using messing around in the editor  

AVIBIRD PC stop by anytime.
