Intel Framework

Summary

The intel system allows the ability to create objects that allows a player to interact in order to receive intel. The player can interact by "Downloading", "Picking Up" or by receiving intel from an NPC as part of a conversation. Each type of intel, when interacted with, triggers global events that are then broadcast to other players and the server allowing customer event handlers to be executed on demand.

Configuration

Intel Drop Types

Used to identify accurately objects that players can pick up objects to receive intel.
intelDropTypes[] = {<object_classnames>};

Intel Download Types

Used to identify accurately objects that players can initiate downloads to receive intel.
intelDownloadTypes[] = {<object_classnames>};

Mission Configuration Example

class CfgMission {
	intelDropTypes[] = {"Land_Suitcase_F"};
	intelDownloadTypes[] = {
		"Land_Laptop_F","Land_Laptop_unfolded_F","Land_Laptop_device_F","Land_SatellitePhone_F"
		,"Land_DataTerminal_01_F","Land_Device_assembled_F","Land_Device_disassembled_F"
		,"O_UAV_02_F","O_UAV_02_CAS_F"
		,"B_UAV_02_F","B_UAV_02_CAS_F"
		,"I_UAV_02_F","I_UAV_02_CAS_F"
	};
};

Code

Create Intel

MPSF_fnc_createIntel
Description
When an Object is passed to the function, depending on the object type configured in CfgMission, it will be turned into a piece of intel that can interacted with by the player to either download or pick up the intel. When a position or marker is passed, a piece of Intel is spawned and can be picked up by the player. When intel is a download, the player will begin a sequence that connects them to the intel. Depending on their proximity to the object will determine the rate at which the intel is downloaded. If intel is a pick up, the object will be deleted after the event has triggered a global pick up.
Syntax
[<object:object/string:marker/array:position>,<array:arguments>,<number:size>] call MPSF_fnc_createIntel
Parameters
1 - <variable> Object - object to add intel functionality String - marker name of where to spawn a dropped intel Array - position [x,y,z] of where to spawn a dropped intel
2 - <array> : Arguments that are to be passed when the events are triggered
3 - <number> (optional) : time to pick up (min 5) or download size in KB (min 1024)
Example
[position player,["Task1"]] call MPSF_fnc_createIntel;
