Variables

It is possible to set variables on units and vehicles to mark them for a specific side or overrule the general settings.

It is important that the variables are set for the server, as all calculation and checking is done on it, that is why the synchronisation flag (third option of setVariable) is set to true in the examples.

arsr_receptionAllowed

Boolean

Sets the player unit as sound data receiver. Enables the player to see the markers on map regarding the sound ranging. Only player units are supported, no AI units or vehicles. Default this variable is regarded as false.

player setVariable ["arsr_receptionAllowed", true, true];

arsr_enabled

Boolean

Variable on a listening vehicle to enable or disable its active listening capabillity. If not set, it is assumed the vehicle is listening and the variable value is true.

_listener setVariable ["arsr_enabled", false, true];

arsr_listenerCalcDelay

Positive Number or 0

Variable on a listening vehicle to overrule the "Addon Options" value for the "Time to calculate for listener" setting.

_listener setVariable ["arsr_listenerCalcDelay", 0, true];

arsr_listenerAccuracy

Positive Number or 0

Variable on a listening vehicle to overrule the "Addon Options" value for the "Listener accuracy" setting.

_listener setVariable ["arsr_listenerAccuracy", 0, true];

arsr_listenerMaxDistance

Number
