Summary

Ambeint Bus Network for Arma Reforger

This version of the mod currently only works for game master and conflict out of the box, but can be manually added to any game mode.

Description

Adds a working bus network to your map without any setup. At game start the mod scans every entity on the terrain, finds all the bus shelters, and builds a route between them automatically. If your map has bus shelters, it *should* just work.

Buses spawn near players and drive the full route, stopping at each shelter in turn. When they reach the end of the line they turn around and come back. Buses won't pop out of existence if a player is standing nearby, and any bus that gets stuck will be cleaned up on its own.

There are some limitations worth mentioning, busses sometimes spawn in multiples (just like real life). Also, the AI struggles with some corners so expect to see some 30 point turns and accidents.

Big thanks to Kuka for his bus mod, without him I wouldn't have made this!

---For Mission/Mod Developers---

Attach ABN_BusNetworkManager to your GameMode entity, add a wheeled vehicle prefab to BusPrefabs and a driver prefab to DriverPrefabs, and you're done. All the spawn distances, radii and other settings are adjustable in the component attributes if you want to tune things.

Stop discovery picks up blue, green and any other colour variants of the bus shelter without needing any extra work on your end. If you want to add more bus shelter prefabs to your world, these will be picked up and work also.

If you're running it on a new terrain and want to check what got found:

Set LogLevel to 3
Load your mission
Check the server/console log for discovered stops, each one prints its position at startup
Drop LogLevel back to 1 once you're happy

---Future Plans---
Maybe add civilan passengers randomly getting on/off busses or waiting at bus stops.
