First Aid – Arma 2

Note: this page is a work-in-progress! More info to follow as soon as possible.

DO NOT USE THE FA MODULE WITH THE AIS it is redundant and can cause problems.

First Aid is set of 3 modules:

• First Aid: Simulation (Alternative Injury Simulation)
• First Aid: Battlefield Clearance (Battlefield Clearance)
• First Aid: Action (First Aid)

First Aid: Simulation (Alternative Injury Simulation)

• adds agony state - unit is incapacitated to some degree (no commanding, no actions, limited movement) - but can move slowly on ground and even shoot
• simulates bleeding (if healed by other unit, bleeding is healed first - so, partially healed unit will stay in agony, but is not going to die)
• adds action to take out units in agony from vehicle
• uses "handleDamage" EH - using this AIS receives from engine damage that is going to be applied to object, after evaluation of conditions, wanted damage is returned back to engine
• You must synchronize (default F5 in editor) this module with every playable unit and A.I. unit you want using this feature.

First Aid: Action (First Aid)

• adds new first aid action, animations and logic
• this module is launched automatically by AIS module
• in theory (after some additional tuning) it can be used without AIS
• You must synchronize this module with every playable unit and A.I. unit you want using this feature.

The Bug is Reported thus in the Dedicated Server RPT file

" File ca\modules\functions\systems\fn_enableSystem.sqf, line 23 Error in expression <_timesActivated / 25);

"wetDistortion" ppEffectEnable true; "wetDistortion" ppE>

 Error position: <ppEffectEnable true;

"wetDistortion" ppE>

 Error Missing ;"

It is believed to be this bit of code 2 cutRsc ["SplashCopyright", "PLAIN"]; sleep 4;

private ["_effectPower"]; _effectPower = 0.1 + (_timesActivated / 25);

"wetDistortion" ppEffectEnable true; "wetDistortion" ppEffectAdjust [0.5, 0, 0, 4.1, 3.7, 2.5, 1.85, 0.0051, 0.0051, 0.0051, 0.0051, 0.5, 0.3, 10, 6.0]; "wetDistortion" ppEffectCommit 0;"

First Aid: Battlefield Clearance (Battlefield Clearance)

• adds actions and logic for dragging and carrying of units in agony (AIS) and units that cannot stand (even without AIS)
• uses setPos for moving dragged (planned conversion to attachTo - still there is problem: dragged must copy terrain slope)
• uses attachTo for snapping carried to carrier
• You must synchronize this module with every playable unit and A.I. unit you want using this feature.

Fixed (1.03): healing scripts running twice if FA module used together with AIS.
