Change GlobalFuelConsumptionScale default to x1

[Trip Hazzard 0]

As per the title I'm trying to work out how to change the default for GlobalFuelConsumptionScale default to x1 rather than x8

 

I've identified the protected static float s_fGlobalFuelConsumptionScale = 8 in class SCR_FuelConsumptionComponent : ScriptGameComponent where the default value is currently set.

 

I've also identified method SetGlobalFuelConsumptionScale(float globalFuelConsumptionScale, int playerThatChangedValue = -1) that is used to change the GlobalFuelConsumptionScale attribute.

 

What I can't work out is how best to change the default value?

 

Is it best to override the current default or call the SetGlobalFuelConsumptionScale() method somewhere to change the default when a game is started?

 

If the former, do I need to replicate the entire SCR_FuelConsumptionComponent class in my override class or can I just override the attribute  

protected static float s_fGlobalFuelConsumptionScale = 1 ;

If the latter, where would be best to call the method so that it resets the default value on when a new game starts?

UPDATE : I worked out one method at least. I'm not sure if this is the 'best' way to do it, but it seems to work...

 

I watched the second Arma Reforger Modding Bootcamp video and that just happened to provide me with exactly what I needed to accomplish the task. I threw together this wee little script based on that bootcamp and it appears to do exactly what I wanted, setting the default fuel consumption to 1x rather than the normal default of 8x. It hasn't been tested much beyond a hasty check on a local listen server. I will test it more thoroughly on a dedicated server as soon as I can arrange for a restart.

modded class ArmaReforgerScripted
{
	override event void OnWorldPostProcess(World world)
	{
		super.OnWorldPostProcess(world);
		SCR_FuelConsumptionComponent.SetGlobalFuelConsumptionScale(1);
	}
}
