Repairing Blackfish

[Brock5992 12]

I have an issue whenever I try to repair my blackfish it tells me that I am "too far away" even though I have gotten right up to and even crawled under just to see if there was a sweet spot.  I recall having the same issue with the V-22 on Arma 2.  Is this just a bug?

Just investigated it a bit further. It's telling you it's too far away. My guess is the radius for the repair range is too small. This is located in ExileClient_Action_repairVehicle_condition.sqf (In the client files).

Quick fix solution

To change this extract the exile_client PBO copy all the code from ExileClient_action_repairVehicle_condition.sqf  add it to your mission file under fixes/repairFix.sqf (or wherever you want to put it for that matter).

Then edit this section of your new file:

if ((_vehicle distance player) > 5) then 
    {
        throw "You are too far away!";
    };

You'd want to increase 5 as this is the distance allowed.

Next you'll want to edit your config.cpp in your mission file to overwrite the client file.

class CfgExileCustomCode 
{
     ExileClient_action_repairVehicle_condition = "fixes\repairFix.sqf";
};

Hypothetically increasing the distance should stop the issue until it's fixed by the big dogs. I don't have blackfish on my server, so I'm not going to test it. However, this is going to increase the repair distance on all of your vehicles, not just the blackfish. Ideally you'd want to create a specific exception for the blackfish since that's the only vehicle it's for.
