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 (AIS - 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

First Aid: Action (FA - 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

First Aid: Battlefield Clearance (BC - 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

Settup

Use synchronize (default F5 in editor)

• synchronize AIS with group leader
• synchronize BC with group leader

• You can use AIS allso on enemy AI groups

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