Description: This script adds inspection and customization options to a helicopter. Inspection allows you to check the condition of different parts of the chopper and fuel level. Customization allows you to add and remove items such as mirrors, cameras, winch, etc. This script also adds actions for opening and closing the inspection panels and heavy helicopter's rear ramp.
Usage: To use the new features, simply walk to the chopper and use the new actions. Some inspection actions are behind panels which you have to open first. To check hydraulics you must sit in pilot position.

Installation

- Unzip the file into your mission folder (scripts should automatically be in scripts\OSMO_interaction\)
- Initiate the script for all choppers in the init.sqf

init.sqf (Note this is just an example, adding all AIR objects to run the script)

_choppers = allMissionObjects "Air";
{ _x execVM "scripts\OSMO_interaction\OSMO_interaction_init.sqf" } forEach _choppers;

Wow really nice, hope you can get damage inspection to work in MP, but I wonder what we will be able to do once we have found it out to repair it (guess you might add it so that once we find a fault, it will then repair it for us using an animation for a certain amount of time)

I'm working on a service script, where service men will walk to the chopper and fix it and refuel it (with animations). Will release it within a few weeks.

Edit: I've released the script: Helicopter Service

Thanks! Try this one as well Multiplayer Slingload by _neo_. That script allows you to put down a rope from the bottom of your chopper to sling load different boxes and stuff from the ground.

Hi! Sorry for replying so late. I see you got it working in the other thread here: Helicopter Interaction Question. Just added link here for reference in case others are struggling with same problem.
