Global Mobilization Boltcutter
Global Mobilization introduces Bolt Cutters. These work straight out of the box and do not need any special enabling.
With these Bolt Cutters you are able to:
- Cut holes into fences
- Cut down barbed wire
- Cut the power of indiviual lights (editor placed ones, only)
- Sabotage a utility box to turn off multiple lights in a radius (works with map placed and editor placed items)
Modding
The Bolt Cutters are easy to integrate into your mods.
User Action
To tag any of your objects with the "Prepare Bolt Cutter" user action, you'll want to add a user action for that:
class UserActions
{
class gm_useBoltcutters
{
displayName = "$STR_DN_GM_BOLTCUTTER_PREPARE";
displayNameDefault = "<img image='\gm\gm_weapons\gm_items\data\ui\holdaction_boltcutter_ca.paa' size='2.5' />";
priority = 10;
radius = 2.5;
position = "";
showWindow = 0;
hideOnUse = 1;
onlyForPlayer = 1;
shortcut = "";
condition = "alive this and !(this getVariable ['gm_noBoltCutting', false]) and ('gm_boltcutter' in items player)";
statement = "[this] call gm_boltcutter_fnc_addAction;";
};
};
Alternatively you can do this same interaction via addAction to any object you like:
Config Parameters
The exact behaviour of the bolt-cutting event is controlled by specific config parameters inside the object that has your user action activated (For example the fence being cut).

| "light" | This indivudal object's lights will be disabled |
| "code" | Executes the given code on the client where the boltcutter was used |
| "" | Destroys the object |
gm_boltcutAction = powerbox;
gm_replaceObject
- Type

gm_replaceObject = "myDestroyedFenceObject";
gm_fenceCutAnimationSource

gm_boltcut_code

Scripting
A scripted eventhandler and object variables are also available to further control the bolt cutters.
gm_boltCutterUsed
The Scripted Eventhandler gm_boltCutterUsed is available. It will trigger every time a user applies the bolt cutters.
[missionNamespace, "gm_boltCutterUsed", { player sidechat "I am breaking in!" }] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler;
Two arguments are processed by this eventhandler.[_object, _actionType]
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| OBJECT | the object that was interacted with |
| STRING | The action type of this interaction (see gm_boltcutAction for action types) |
gm_noBoltCutting
If you wish to disable the bolt cutters on a specific object, you can simply set the gm_noBoltCutting variable to true on that object:
MyPowerBox setVariable ["gm_noBoltCutting", true];
gm_boltcutAction
Overwrites the config-specified gm_boltcutAction value.
MyPowerBox setVariable ["gm_boltcutAction", "code"];
See Global_Mobilization_Boltcutter#gm_boltcutAction for possible values.
gm_fenceCutAnimationSource
Overwrites the config-specified gm_fenceCutAnimationSource value.
MyPowerBox setVariable ["gm_fenceCutAnimationSource", "door_1"];
gm_replaceObject
Overwrites the config-specified gm_replaceObject value.
MyPowerBox setVariable ["gm_replaceObject", "land_gm_euro_toy_dinosaur_01"];
gm_boltcut_code
Overwrites the config-specified gm_boltcut_code segment that will be executed when a bolt cutter is used.
MyPowerBox setVariable ["gm_boltcut_code", "player sidechat 'I am breaking in!'"];
