		+	==== Scripting ====
		+
		+	Alternatively to setting the module attributes, following variables can be set on objects to make them recognizable by the system:
		+	* Fuel - <code>vehicle setVariable ["vn_master_arm_supplyFuel", true];</code>
		+	* Ammo - <code>vehicle setVariable ["vn_master_arm_supplyAmmo", true];</code>
		+	* Repair - <code>vehicle setVariable ["vn_master_arm_supplyRepair", true];</code>
		+
		+	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.
