Small Scripts from the KP Gaming Community for ArmA 3

Small Scripts for ArmA 3 from KP

KP Fuel Consumption Script

File: kp_fuel_consumption.sqf

This script handles the fuel consumption of vehicles, so that refueling will be necessary more often. It also checks if the vehicle is standing with running engine, driving in normal speed or max speed. With this script you'll have the need to refuel the vehicle during an evening session with a suitable setup by default (full configurable). So no more "never ending" fuel available due to the normal ArmA 3 fuel consumption mechanic.

KP Distance Monitor Script

File: kp_distancemonitor.sqf

Adds actions to the player to start/stop/reset travelled map distance measuring. It will be shown as hint and you can configure the interval of the measuring. It works with a loop which you can leave via script command or debug console: kp_distance_run = false;

KP Load Loadouts to Cargo Script

File: kp_load_loadout_cargo.sqf

Ability to load items from saved or predefined loadouts to a vehicle cargo. This functionality is available in the vicinity of objects which you've defined per classname in the script or via this setVariable ["KP_loadout_cargo_object",1]; in an objects init line in the editor. To end the script on a client you've to run KP_loadout_cargo_run = false; on the clients machine.

KP Random Wreckspawn Script

File: kp_wreckspawn.sqf

Place random wrecks on the roads of the map. You don't need to place anything in the editor or something. This script will place in a free configurable mininum and maximum distance random wrecks on the roads. Also with a adjustable chance to spawn more wrecks in the direct vicinity of the last spawned wreck, so it'll also create random roadblocks.

kp-a3-scripts's Issues

kp_distancemonitor

Hello again
I originally requested you create this script and am very happy that was fuilfilled. However I neglected to properly check if it worked for its intended role correctly. Since the script was originally intended to work for a soldier walking (or running) in a straight line and measure that distance, the player walking backwards or sideways should not be included in the measurement.

May I request the script only measures forward movement please?

Wreck Spawning not in corners of maps ( Circle / Rect )

Hey,
just a little mistake in the script while fetching all roads.

If you want to get all roads from the center you will need a other size based on the diagonal of a quad.
_roadsArray = _center nearRoads (_size/2);

should be
_roadsArray = _center nearRoads (_size / (sqrt 2));

Will fix the problem, that the corners of a map are empty of wrecks.

With friendly regards,
LtJulius

kp_distancemonitor - Possible to only show 100m marks?

Excellent small script working like a charm! User case for my community would be to use it with compass bearings in hard terrain. Would it be possible to only show updates at every hundred meters traveled?
