------------------------------

GLOBAL CONTROLS
------------------------------

Disabling all scripts may be helpfull for troubleshooting or when using RHS addons with mods 
which affect other addons globally.

To disable all scripts in all RHS addons, cast this line in global place:

RHS_NoScripts = true

Disabling or reducing smoke effects by 50% may be helpfull on less powerfull computers.

To disable smoke effects in all RHS addons, cast this line in global place:

RHS_SmokeOff = true

To reduce smoke effects in all RHS addons, cast this line in global place:

RHS_LowSmoke = true

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


--------------------------------
LOCAL CONTROLS
--------------------------------

There are a couple scripted features that are controlable in this addon and can be
initiated by using the following handles in the mission.

Cargo Script - transporting soldiers on hull

The Cargo Script works to simulate transporting soldiers on hull. While the original 
ingame OFP soldier engine has been not programmed for this task, the script decides 
for the soldier to jump off the vehicle when dangerous situation ecountered, as well 
as it takes care for the main gun barrel not to collide with the transported soldier 
models (by fixing it's position).

The Algorithm's work is based on a state of the driver and gunner. Shortly, the script 
constantly probes, if the driver drives with his hatch closed and if the gunner is 
present in the vehicle. Transporting the soldiers on the hull is possible only when at 
least one of the two following conditions is true:

[driver's hatch is open] or [there is no gunner]

When the gunner disembarks the tank, the main gun is automatically centered (same as 
when driver's hatch is open), to prevent main barrel from clipping with soldier's models. 
If the soldier transport conditions are not fulfilled, nearby soldiers's "Ride in T-72" 
action becomes locked. If the soldier transport conditions are discovered not to be 
fulfilled during ride (eg. when driver closes his hatch) or when the tank fires - 
soldiers are ejected from tank.

Hint: You may transport soldiers only, when a driver's hatch is opened or there is no 
gunner. If the soldier squad is already sitting on the vehicle, and you want the gunner 
and driver to get in that vehicle, do it in the following order: firstly order the driver to 
get in and open hatch, then order the gunner to get in.

Hint: To order the driver to open the hatch, commander has to announce "SAFE" status.

It is possible to disable the cargo script for troubleshooting, or when it occures there is
 a critical bug found in the cargo script. Simply cast this line in global place:

RHS_NoCargoScripts = true

This will, however, lock the cargo transport feature completely. Remember: this setting is 
global, it affects all RHS addons.
