Airfield Resupply

[callaway 0]

So, how is this done as in Evo and other mods. I'd like to have the airfield be a "resupply" point and auto repair/rearm/refuel vehicles without getting 1 meter from trucks. I'm not sure how they've done it, but I have a few ideas. Thanks for any help you can provide.

How about you just unpbo the evo mission, and have a look at the code yourself :)

Speeder, thanks for your suggestion, I've done that, but as anyone who has looked at an evo map knows, it's a TON of stuff. I'm having trouble deciphering most of it. I thought maybe there was a script used to do this that was adopted by them.

Refuel and repair are really easy triggers; however, rearm is a totally different nut to crack.

Don't know about Evolution, but here is the script used in Domination. Remove the includes, any references to ACE and mando stuff, it might work. Calls to XfVehicleChat can be easily replaced with a normal vehicleChat, you don't loose that much from the script I guess. If not it should at least get you going with the more advanced stuff (turret problems):

   _object action ["engineOff", _object];

Edit: Oh, this is for Arma1 Domination 3.70. You might be better off downloading Domination for Arma2 and look for x_scripts\x_reload.sqf.

Thanks, great stuff! Maybe I can get something working for others to easily use.
