fn_gearHandle:

Like the zeus used to have to do in the gearStart, the zeus needs to define some gear in the fn_gearHandle (as seen here).

fn_gearBox:

The zeus can put down one for three boxes:

• A box with the 'SAVE loadout for rearm'-action (which saves the contents of your containers + launcher), 4 basic loadout actions (autorifleman, engineer, medic & rifleman) derived from the gear defined in the fn_gearHandle (and yes, loading medic or engineer actually sets you as one), and both arsenals (as seen here).
• A box with the 'REARM'-action, which loads up the saved loadout, without resetting your radio or radiobackpack (as seen here).
• A box with the 'REARM'-action, and both arsenals (not necessary, just there in case there will be a scenario in which it will).

// START USAGE:
[0, player] spawn ZO_fnc_gearBox;

// REARM USAGE:
[1, player] spawn ZO_fnc_gearBox;

// REARM-PLUS USAGE:
[2, player] spawn ZO_fnc_gearBox;

Removed

• AI unconsciousness.
• Unnecessary STUI restrictions removed.

[Version 5] - 2018-01-20

Changed

• Removed all the non-vanilla modules and setup all the addon settings. Besides loading them into the scenario, they are also forced via the cba_settings.sqf file in the mission folder. (I haven't tested if this fixes any issues, neither have I tested if this at all works. Curious to hear what the result is.)
• Changed some settings from what we previously had in our ace settings (because I thought it might make sense):
  • Cookoff is still on, but it only takes 50% of the time it did before.
  • Anyone can repair a vehicle to a certain amount with a toolkit, only near a repair vehicle/facility, you can bring it to full with a kit (no need for engineers anymore).
  • Increased map gestures range slightly.

[Version 4] - 2017-10-27

Changed

• Small update to fix fn_handleRespawn.

Added

• The wave respawn system. (By default, players will respawn after 20 minutes, or with the next wave (when body bagged). The platoonleader can - just like the toggle grass - call for a respawnwave, which will respawn all bagged players.)
• fn_standardLoadouts, which will spawn a ammobox with a get standard loadouts addaction on it. The box will be spawned around whoever calls it (yes, it also works with zeus). It adds 30 standard loadouts to your Arsenal saved loadouts. Note: Local execute, else it will spawn a box for every single person!

Removed

• ACE gforce. (no more going unconscious as jetpilot.)
• fn_sandstorm and all accompanying files. (makes the templates 500KB instead of 3000KB.)

[Version 2] - 2017-09-03

Changed

• Disabled ACE hearing.

Removed

• ACEX modules to remove that from @ZEUSOPS.

[Version 1 Hotfix] - 2017-07-21

Changed

• The ZO_fnc_gearStart now also gives a radio, bodybag, and earplugs.

Fixed

• ZO_fnc_dynamicGroupsMarkers are fixed, and now have Whiskey in it.

[Version 1] - 2017-07-20

Added

• A new function ZO_fnc_restrictedGear
• Templates for Lythium and Fallujah.

Fixed

• A bug where the zeus can't get back in after leaving.

The function ZO_fnc_restrictedGear allows you to check who all has a specific item. If you'd like to check who all has a GPS, you run the following command in the debug console with local exec:

"ItemGPS" spawn ZO_fnc_restrictedGear;

Note that running it with global exec, everyone will see who has the specific item. Also note that the item is caps sensitive.
