ⓘ

The command can also be used on vehicles (and drones), and it will get applied to the effectiveCommander of the vehicle. In addition, if the effectiveCommander has a trait, it will get applied to the entire vehicle (for example, the vehicle can become harder to spot due to low camouflageCoef)

Abilities:

• Boolean engineer - Ability to partially repair vehicles with toolkit, equivalent to engineer = 1; in CfgVehicles
• Boolean explosiveSpecialist - Ability to defuse mines with toolkit, equivalent to canDeactivateMines = 1; in CfgVehicles
• Boolean medic - Ability to treat self and others with medikit, equivalent to attendant = 1; in CfgVehicles
• Boolean UAVHacker - Ability to hack enemy and friendly drones, equivalent to uavHacker = 1; in CfgVehicles

Modifiers:

• Number audibleCoef - A lower value means the unit is harder to hear
• Number camouflageCoef - A lower value means the unit is harder to spot
• Number loadCoef - Equipment weight multiplier affecting fatigue and stamina

The higher the value for the loadCoef the less stamina a unit has. Negative values will dramatically increase the stamina actually to a point where it extends the stamina bar.

The explosiveSpecialist trait can defuse mines (i.e. satchel charges), whilst the engineer trait alone cannot.
