Description:
Advanced Interaction Mod is a script package that is designed to add an extra level of interaction with the game world around you in your mission, specificly interaction with civilians. It allows you to Talk, Arrest and Search Civilians as well as search cars or buildings. The main reason I made this is because I wanted to learn sqf scripting and wanted to add something new to some missions I made for my community.

I release this with the hope to get some productive feedback on everything. The AddOn is far from completed and things will most likely chance a lot. I've only just started to learn some more about programming and scripting on a decent level, so things will be improved upon. So for the time being, I hope to get some feedback on current performance, how the gameplay with it and what can be improved. Also feel free to give me any ideas for additional features to add. And again, right now it's all very simple and unfinished.


Installation:
As we always recommend use modfolders to seperate the custom content from the official game content to prevent problems. For different ways to set up your modfolders and use them please visit our FAQ.

When you are using the Steam version you can find a Steam mod installation and activation FAQ here.


Included files:
gbl_advanced_interaction.pbo
gbl_ammobox.pbo
gbl_field_rations.pbo
gbl_functions.pbo
gbl_items.pbo


Usage:

Media:

Known issues:
Stance System not working correctly


Notes:
The left windows key has been changed and instead you now have to assign a key yourself in your controls (useraction 19). Details are available in the documentation.
AIM is required on both the client and server.
It should be ACE compatible, however it has not been tested without ACE!


Future plans:
- Improve search functionality (buildings and persons)
- Overhaul all dialogs in AIM
- Improve effects for FRM
