Description
HEMTT w/ Deployable AN/MPQ-105 Radar

Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck w/ Deployable AN/MPQ-105 Radar

Part of a bigger mod I'm working on, but I believe the workshop needs it. Enjoy.
Comes in Sand and Olive variants.

Fits perfectly in combination with HEMTT - Deployable Defender!

This composition has no crew, it's empty. However, here's one with the UAV Operator inside!

HOW TO USE:
STEP 1. - Get out of the damn vehicle. Deploy the AN/MPQ-105 Radar.
STEP 2. - Once deployed, hack it and use it at will. Meanwhile all HEMTT seats are removed until you deactivate the Radar. This is to prevent the misuse of the composition and taking advantage of it.
STEP 3.1. - When you're done using it, deactivate it and all seats will then be unlocked.
STEP 3.2. - When you need to use it, activate it again. HEMTT seats are locked again, Radar is ready to use, but you need to hack it again.

HOW TO REPAIR:
STEP 1. Park the repair vehicle near the deployed Radar.
STEP 2. Take control of the Radar and point to the truck. Interact with it to repair it.

Description:
A composition which enhances the already lacking vanilla content, this one in particular makes use of HEMTT in combination with AN/MPQ-105 Radar trailer. We all know that towing vehicles in vanilla ArmA 3 is not possible, so I added 3 user actions that add the ability to drive the HEMTT where you need to and deploy the AN/MPQ-105 Radar.

You only need to deploy the Radar once, then there's nothing more you can do with that user action. After that, there's only deactivate and activate user actions.

The composition consists of vanilla assets, uses the vehicle's init field to execute scripts. No need for any special attention when placing this composition in either editor or Zeus. Simple place and use.

Works flawlessly in singleplayer and missions in general, however... for multiplayer purposes you must include " zeusCompositionScriptLevel = 2; " in the description file of the dedicated server... or you can use the following mod: Enable Composition Scripts (do read what's it about).

Known "issues":
- Don't even bother using the action "Deploy AN/MPQ-105 Radar" once you have used it, because there is no need to use it again and it doesn't do anything.
- Don't even think about deploying the Radar with someone inside the HEMTT because it will explode and you can say goodbye to your vehicle.
- When the vehicle is destroyed, you can still interact with the wreckage and use the user actions, but they won't do anything.

Feel free to use the code in the vehicle itself. It belongs to all of us. Get creative and share with us Your creations!

I don't do any requests, please don't bother asking.

Greetings everyone!

For future subscribers of this composition, I will be releasing this as a standalone mod. A combination of both Radar and SAM variants. I will think about adding CSAT and AAF/LDF variants too.

Cheers folks. Merry Christmas!

@Shaun - Because you can't tow it. It doesn't work like that. Everything you need to know is located in the description.

@JODY-13F - I am aware of that, but I don't know if this particular radar can be used for such activities. From my observation, it always sticked to detecting air assets. But never used it in scenarios where radar would detect artillery fire. Hmm...

@DrunKeN Counter battery radar is used to detect artillery so it can be fired on by friendly artillery or takin out some other way

It also might help out to press LeftCtrl + R to activate the actual Radar when taking control of it yourself. :)

@JODY-13F - The Radars work just like any other.

When you first deploy it, you need to hack it in order to assign it to NATO, then it becomes autonomous and from there on out, helps in detecting and targeting hostile air assets for any nearby SAMs.

Anything connected to the "grid" (data transmission and communication in between different UAVs, drones and such autonomous vehicles) helps each other out.

As for the counter battery, what do you mean by that? :)

do these radars actually work and have function other than looks? would be great to be able to set up counter battery radar
