Armor System

Description

STATUS: STABLE!
Adds a unique Armor System to ArmA 3

Why?
We were quite inspired by the Health/Armor system present in 'Half Life: Our Benefactors' made by Webknight. We teamed up with Webknight to make something like it but in a way that would make it be useful and fun outside of just the Half-Life mod for those seeking a vanilla PLUS medical system.

Before we continue... Please be advised to NOT load this mod together with 'Half Life: Our Benefactors', just use their system in that case. [ATM, will change in the future!]

fun idea, maybe?
Commander Kibbins 18 Aug @ 6:52am 
Would it be possible to add an armor whitelist array into the CBA options that include certain AI classes to use the armor system? So that certain AI units can be a bit heavier armored than the rest but would keep the standard units from being bullet sponges. Doing it this way instead of using the Zeus modules allows it to be done naturally on more automated missions, if that makes any sense

oh didn't know that, I thought HP Only mode had a different method besides the base game's damage system, because zeus heal modules dont work or the Regen field from Equipment plus also doesnt work. Character HP stays 100 in Zeus, but it changes on HUD
Phenosi  [author] 18 Aug @ 3:24am 
Most likely because there is some kind of soft compat built into anomalies mod or something of the sort, armor system at the end of the day just re-enables base-game damage so that will be the 'most-compatible' of those two.
Sugar Man ♠ 18 Aug @ 2:23am 
some mods are working with armor+hp mode but not with the HP only system. For example Diwako's Anomalies mod, anomalies hurt my character when I check from the Zeus my character's HP reduces but doesnt change on HP bar. Default Armor + Health works but not the only HP mod
Phenosi  [author] 19 Jul @ 12:24pm 
@Kuro it can all be configured! go and check out the CBA addon Options.
BeezyL5565  [author] 19 Jul @ 10:57am 
just make a mod that overwrites the weight
HICON 19 Jul @ 8:00am 
Am I allowed to take this and modify the Plate weight and Armor values as long as I credit?
Kuro 11 Jul @ 10:59am 
@Phenosi ah i see, also, does the system give the armor bar to all ai units including enemy or does it only give it to the player or can ai having the armor be configured to be off?
BeezyL5565  [author] 30 Jun @ 9:23pm 
we dont change any armor values. this is simply a magical number that prevents unit from taking damage
