RotorOps PERKS - Points and rewards script (featuring Fatcow FARPs!)

[Grimm]

Perks is a standalone script that enables a points and rewards system. You can use this script on its own or together with CTLD and/or RotorOps. There is no configuration necessary, and it works with single player or multiplayer.

Why a points system? This was developed to incentivize teamwork in multiplayer support roles, and to enhance single player experiences with more control over the battlefield.

How to earn points

You can earn points from actions you take directly, like kills, or indirectly like kills from troops you drop. These are broken down into the points categories below. See the script for the actual number of points per action.

Direct

• Kill infantry
• Kill vehicles
• Kill helicopters
• Kill planes
• Kill tanks
• Kill ships
• CTLD rearm vehicles
• CTLD unpack crates

Indirect

• Dropped troops kill infantry
• Dropped troops kill vehicles
• Dropped troops kill tanks

CAS Bonus

When you kill enemy troops or vehicles near your friendly ground units, you earn a hefty CAS bonus for supporting the war on the ground.

How to use Perks

Spend points on Perks by using the 'ROTOROPS PERKS' F10 menu. Perks can either be activated at your current position, or at a position that you mark on the map.

Fatcow FARP

Request an AI CH-47 Chinook that will land at your designated position and deploy a working FARP for refuel or rearm!

• Available at your current position
• Available at your mark on the map. Name the mark 'fatcow'

To use this, a CH-47 must be placed on the map, set as late-activated, with a group name of 'FAT COW'. Also support statics must be placed on the map in order to be teleported to the new FARP location. See the RotorOps Perks demo missions for details.

Instant Strike

Request a cruise missle strike at a designated location. Right now this is essentially a demo for the perks system, and will likely be removed or modified in the future to be more realistic.

-- Available at your mark on the map. Name the mark 'strike'

Perk Options

The script is desinged to be easy to create your own perks for your use or to easily modify their attributes, such as:

• Cooldown time
• Max uses per player
• Max uses per mission
• Points cost

A quick update as we head into the CH-47 release.  The PERKS script has been in use on the "ROTOROPS OFFICIAL" server for the past several months.  

From day one of CH-47 release, the script will support 'player fatcow' perk, which will allow anyone flying the Chinook to land and deploy a working FARP for their teamates (no points required).

You can checkout the functionality on the ROTOROPS OFFICIAL server with the Mi-8 or UH-60 right now.

I don't suppose there would be any interest in this script being re-written in the MOOSE API. I'm not coder myself but I'm trying to keep to one API for my scripting.
