Title: TransBox - Ammobox Transport System - (ACCEPTED)
Post by: dr. seltsam on 18 Sep 2007, 18:47:59

At first i want to say a hello to the OFPEC-Team, because this is my first post.  :)

Here i have a script set, that enables players to load/unload ammoboxes from vehicles of their choice. It was made because in MP we often see that awful ammobug happening from vehicles that were stuffed full with weapons and ammo.  >:(

I packed them into 2 example missions (small and addon-free) on desert island. Mapmakers can look at them there, and easy copy and paste the TransBox folder into their missions. A readme file with detailed information is included also.

There are 2 versions of TransBox:


TransBox Light: supports 1 box / 1 vehicle
TransBox Deluxe: supports up to 6 boxes / many vehicles


TransBox does not really load a box, it only fakes it by hiding the boxes 100m under ground at their original place. As a mapmaker their is no need to stuff vehicles full with ammo anymore, these scripts will give you more and better flexibility.

Well, i didn�t find any similar script in your download section. If you find it usefull and quality good enough, maybe it can make its way into the editor depot. I took extra care of making TransBox none laggy and working under multiplayer. I would like to hear your opinion about it, and will answer questions about TransBox here.   :cool2: :cool2:

Welcome Seltsam  :)
I will check your script later for both ArmA and OFP, as more than problably it will be also valid for ArmA.

EDIT:
Tested, it works quite well, good work. The resource has been accepted.

I made the update for TransBox several months ago, but forgot to submit it...   :whistle:

Well, here is the actual version: TransBox   Ver. 0.942

Changelog:
1. changed the script start timing to avoid problems with slower computers
2. reduced the displayed text messages, they now appear only if you are within 80m to the load/unload action
3. increased the possible number of boxes to 8

If you have questions, suggestions or need help to include TransBox into your mission, you can contact me here, or send me a message to the email adress which you will find in the readme file.
