IV. Scripts

Please read the full document carefully.

1) Main scripts disablement:
If you want to use all COMBAT! addons without scripts, write in a global place:
- "CBT_NoScripts = true"

If you want to use HMMWVs without scripts, write on a global place:
- "CBT_HMMWV_NoScripts = true"

To play the CBT addons without smoke and light effects, write in a global place:
- "CBT_NoSmoke = true"

To reduce smoke effects in all CBT addons, write this line in global place:
- "CBT_LowSmoke = true"

Remember: these settings are global, they affect all CBT addons.


2) Number and emblems predefinition:
Initially, all emblems and number appearance is randomized, corresponding to HMMWV type. If you want to predefine the appearance of emblems and/or numbers, you have to put some lines into init field in editor. Appearance script is highly elastic, so it is possible to place all types of emblems and numbers on almost all HMMWVs, limitations will be noted below.

Main number/emblems predefinition line, first syntax:

[<name>, "<div>", "<chevron>", "<num>"] exec "\CBT_HMMWV\fx\CBT_HMMWV_UN.sqs"

Description:
- <name> - represents the name of unit to engage the script on. If you use init line of the specified HMMWV to alter it's appearance, you may write "this" instead of proper name.

Definable group, use first syntax
"normal"       - defined normal
"random"       - randomised markings
"none"         - leaves the space empty

- [<num>] - defines the vehicle number, if you've chosen the definable number type. 
{ a11, a12, a13, a14, a21, a22, a23, a24, a31, a32, a33, a34 }.
{ b11, b12, b13, b14, b21, b22, b23, b24, b31, b32, b33, b34 }.
{ c11, c12, c13, c14, c21, c22, c23, c24, c31, c32, c33, c34 }.
{ d11, d12, d13, d14, d21, d22, d23, d24, d31, d32, d33, d34 }.
You may also write here a path to a file of your choice (must be in .paa format!), but you cannot use it in MP.

- <chevron> - defines a type of chevron to be placed in emblem field on DESERT HMMWVs:
"none"   - erases emblem from HMMWV
"alpha" - Alpha
"bravo" - Bravo
"char" - Charlie 
"delta" - Delta
You may also write here a path to a file of your choice (must be in .paa format!), but you cannot use it in MP.

- <div> - defines a type of division markings to be placed in division markings field on HMMWV:
"none"   - leaves the space empty
"2481i" 
"1a3cav5"
"247cav"
"1a16i"
"3i221"
"1i22i"
"1a14ada"

You may also write here a path to a file of your choice (must be in .paa format!), but you cannot use it in MP.

Example of main number/emblems predefinition line:

[this, "normal", "2418i", "delta","a22"] exec "\CBT_HMMWV\fx\CBT_UN.sqs"
This will make HMMWV appear with A-22 vehicle number, Delta chevron, and 24-18-I division markings.

KFOR Markings:

I have also included for the NATO variants, KFOR style markings:
Place this in the init line:

 this setObjectTexture [2,"\CBT_HMMWV\mark\kfor.paa"]

Here is a list I have included, some are real and some are fictional. I provided ones with first initial for each island.

kfor.paa, efor.paa, ifor.paa, nfor.paa, mfor.paa, tfor.paa


Multi Player:

If you want to use COMBAT! Addons  in multiplayer (especially on client-servers), put a Game Logic on the map and name it "serverChk" or use the "Network Services" of the Chain of Command Mod.


M1121 TOW HMMWVs Notes:

The TOW HMMWV's use MCAR Beta 2 release.  There are known MP issues with this version, so HMMWVs will be updated once a new version of MCAR is released.
