During Gameplay

The action will only be available if players meet the following conditions,

• The players is currently driving/piloting the vehicle.
• The vehicle is an aircraft.
• The vehicle is moving below 5 km/h
• The player is within 25 meters of an object which is synchronized to the module.

When opening the Master Arm menu the vehicle's engine will be turned off.

Players can alter the following through the option on the left,

• Components
  • This allows players to enable/disable components on the aircraft.
• Camouflage
  • This allows players to change the color and livery of their aircraft.
• Loadout
  • This allows players to change the weapons and pylons on their aircraft.

Along the bottom of the menu players can select buttons to rearm, refuel, and repair their aircraft.

NOTE: Teamswitching to different pilots does not work with the module in the editor. You need to be the Player and not a Playable unit.

Scripting

Alternatively to setting the module attributes, following variables can be set on objects to make them recognizable by the system:

• Fuel - vehicle setVariable ["vn_master_arm_supplyFuel", true];
• Ammo - vehicle setVariable ["vn_master_arm_supplyAmmo", true];
• Repair - vehicle setVariable ["vn_master_arm_supplyRepair", true];

Setting the variable to `true` forces the object to be recognized as that supply type, setting it to `false` will force it to be not recognized as that supply type, even if it's an ammo/fuel/repair truck etc. This has `local` effect.
