Dependencies: none.
Vehicles Overhauling (VO) is a free Arma 3 script that provides a system of repairing, refueling, and rearming vehicles by proximity and with any asset of your choice. Also, the services are divided by doctrine: Ground, Air, and Nautical. Each doctrine and even service is easily turned Off or On, according to the editor's needs. If needed, the editor can allow repairing just for ground vehicles while unavailable for air ones, for example. Triggering or code via Eden Editor is needless. VO is configured through only one file, prioritizing implementation simplicity and quick change management that the mission editor might want.
What to expect from VO script
- Set what vehicle type has automatic access to ground, air, or nautical services (rearm, repair, refuel);
- Set what service each station (asset) will provide: repair, refuel, or rearm or all of them (full service);
- Every object/asset on Eden Editor can be traceable as a station automatically, it's up to the mission-editor;
- Once configured which assets are stations, on Eden you just drag and drop the asset and the script will track them;
- All repair, refueling, and rearming of Arma 3 and its DLCs and CDLCs assets are already tracked;
- All repair, refueling, and rearming of RHS and CUP assets are already tracked as well;
- 100% compatible with CBA+ACE.
- No code or triggers are needed on Eden Editor;
- Just one file to set your mission easily: fn_VO_management.sqf;
- A parking-helper system for planes/jets, no matter where or what is the plane station (including carriers);
- Script working as gold on hosted and dedicated servers;

Global rules
- Every object/asset on Eden can be a service provider (service station);
- The vehicle that need a service ("target-vehicle" for better understanding here) must be within the station's range of action;
- At least one player must be close (or inside) to the target-vehicle, except drones if the mission-editor authorized through fn_VO_parameters.sqf;
- The target-vehicle must not be completely destroyed;
- To provide the service, the station must not be destroyed or under water or flying (supply containers) or even moving (supply vehicles);
- Each station can provide only the services that it allowed to;
- The service will be provide just for one player at a time;
- AI won't be able to replace a human player to start one or more services.
Repairing service rules:
- The target-vehicle must have some damage;
- The target-vehicle engine must be off.
Refueling service rules:
- The target-vehicle must have had some fuel consumption;
- The target-vehicle engine must be off.
Rearming service rules:
- The target-vehicle must have on-board weaponry;
- Rearming will be done just for spawned magazines (empties or not) with the target-vehicle, so the Editor should pay attention if they’ll set ammo limitation in the vehicle attributes;
- The target-vehicle must have spent some ammunition.
Ground vehicles rules:
- To get a service, the target-vehicle must be a land vehicle, including drones;
- The target-vehicle must have its speed at zero or very close to it.
Air vehicles rules:
- To get a service, the target-vehicle must be an air vehicle, including drones;
- The target-vehicle must be touching the ground;
- The target-vehicle must be completely stopped;
- If the target-vehicle is a plane, a parking helper will run automatically.
Nautical vehicles rules:
- To get a service, the target-vehicle must be a nautical vehicle, including drones;
- The target-vehicle cannot be submerged, even submarines;
- The target-vehicle must have its speed at zero or very close to it.
