WASP Base Repair System Reference

WASP Base-Repair System Reference

Source-verified 2026-06-21 against master 0139a346. Paths relative to Missions/[55-2hc]warfarev2_073v48co.chernarus/ unless noted. Arma 2 OA 1.64.

The WASP/baserep/ subtree is a client-side, commander-only base-repair feature layered on top of stock Warfare BE. When the player's group is the commander team, looking at a friendly base structure with the cursor shows a live damage HUD; if the structure is damaged and within range, a "Repair" scroll action appears. Activating it plays a medic animation and slowly heals the building, draining that side's supply by 15 every tick. Spotters get a read-only variant that shows enemy building health at range. This page documents the four-file subtree end to end. The broader WASP additions are mapped in WASP overlay; this is the dedicated baserep reference.

The subtree is bootstrapped from one wiring line: Client/Init/Init_Client.sqf:589 runs [] execVM "WASP\baserep\init.sqf";. Because it executes from per-player client init, it never runs on the dedicated server or a headless client — base repair is entirely a player-local UI/loop feature, and authority concerns follow from that (see Locality below).

Files And Wiring

File	Role	Entry / status
WASP/baserep/init.sqf	Bootstrap. #include "data.sqf"; then #include "viem.sqf" (WASP/baserep/init.sqf:1-2).	Live — execVM from Client/Init/Init_Client.sqf:649.
WASP/baserep/data.sqf	Defines the global baseb table: building class → display name, interaction distance, repair-rate % (WASP/baserep/data.sqf:1-13).	Data include (compiled inline by init.sqf:1).
WASP/baserep/viem.sqf	The main waitUntil loop: Spotter enemy-building inspect, plus commander cursorTarget health HUD and add/remove of the Repair action (WASP/baserep/viem.sqf:13-75).	Loop (included by init.sqf:2).
WASP/baserep/repair.sqf	The action handler: supply gate, medic animation, supply drain, per-tick HP increment (WASP/baserep/repair.sqf:1-37).	Attached as a player scroll action by viem.sqf:52.

The baseb Building-Class Table

WASP/baserep/data.sqf:1-13 builds the global array baseb. Each row is [class, name, dis, %] where dis is the interaction distance in metres and % is the per-tick repair rate added to the building's health percentage. Every building uses the same 10 m range; the rate is what varies. Names are pulled via localize from the stringtable (English values verified in stringtable.xml:4907-4946).

Building class (isKindOf match)	Display name (key)	Dist	Repair rate %	data.sqf line
Base_WarfareBBarracks	Barracks (RB_Barracks)	10	3	WASP/baserep/data.sqf:3
Base_WarfareBLightFactory	Light Factory (RB_Light_Factory)	10	2	WASP/baserep/data.sqf:4
Base_WarfareBHeavyFactory	Heavy Factory (RB_Heavy_Factory)	10	1	WASP/baserep/data.sqf:5
Base_WarfareBUAVterminal	Command Center (RB_Command_Center)	10	1	WASP/baserep/data.sqf:6
Base_WarfareBAircraftFactory	Aircraft factory (RB_Aircraft_factory)	10	0.5	WASP/baserep/data.sqf:7
BASE_WarfareBAntiAirRadar	AAR (RB_Air_Defense_Radar)	10	1.5	WASP/baserep/data.sqf:8
BASE_WarfareBArtilleryRadar	Artillery Radar (RB_Artillery_Radar)	10	1.5	WASP/baserep/data.sqf:9
Warfare_HQ_base_unfolded	Headquarters (RB_Headquarters)	10	0.5	WASP/baserep/data.sqf:10
BASE_WarfareBFieldhHospital	Field Hospital (RB_Field_Hospital)	10	3	WASP/baserep/data.sqf:11
Base_WarfareBVehicleServicePoint	Service Point (RB_Service_Point)	10	2	WASP/baserep/data.sqf:12

Higher-value strategic assets (Aircraft factory, HQ) repair slowest at 0.5%/tick; Barracks and Field Hospital are fastest at 3%/tick. Matching is by isKindOf (viem.sqf:21,39), so subclasses of these base classes are also covered. The Base_ / BASE_ casing in the class strings is preserved exactly as written; isKindOf class-name matching is case-insensitive in the engine, so the mixed casing does not break matching.

Commander HUD + Action Loop (viem.sqf)

viem.sqf is one unscheduled-spawned waitUntil loop (WASP/baserep/viem.sqf:13) that body-returns false implicitly, so it runs forever with a sleep 3 throttle inside the commander branch (viem.sqf:73). State is held in script-local and a small set of shared globals.

Concern	Detail	Source
Per-player action handle	Init clears any stale action: if WASP_BaseRepair_Action >= 0, removeAction it, then reset to -1. Marty's note: the old global rep could point at a stale addAction ID after respawn.	WASP/baserep/viem.sqf:4-9
Legacy global cleared	rep = Nil; left cleared "for compatibility with old scripts that may still check the global."	WASP/baserep/viem.sqf:10-11
Spotter inspect (read-only)	If WFBE_SK_V_Type == "Spotter", cursorTarget that is an enemy baseb building within 1000 m shows a hintSilent "State" readout of remaining health.	WASP/baserep/viem.sqf:16-30
Commander gate	_isCommander is set true only when commanderTeam is non-null and commanderTeam == group player. The entire repair branch is inside if (_isCommander).	WASP/baserep/viem.sqf:33-34
Friendly-side gate	Repair branch requires cursorTarget non-null and side group player == side _obj.	WASP/baserep/viem.sqf:37
Health HUD	_dam = (1 - getDammage _obj)*100 (remaining health %). hintSilent shows building name + "State" + colored %; color is green > 67, yellow > 37, else red.	WASP/baserep/viem.sqf:40-45
Add Repair action	When _dis < dist, _dam < 100 (i.e. damaged), and no action yet, it sets shared globals obj/objnum, flips repairprocess = "yes", adds the action via STR_WASP_actions_brepair → WASP\baserep\repair.sqf, and stores the handle in WASP_BaseRepair_Action.	WASP/baserep/viem.sqf:49-54
Remove (out of range / full)	If out of range OR _dam == 100 and an action exists, removeAction and reset the handle to -1.	WASP/baserep/viem.sqf:55-59
In-progress cleanup	When repairprocess != "no", the loop only checks distance to the stored obj; walking out of range removes the action and resets repairprocess = "no".	WASP/baserep/viem.sqf:63-72

The action label uses key STR_WASP_actions_brepair → English "Repair" (stringtable.xml:4899-4902); the "State" label is RB_state → "State" (stringtable.xml:4903-4906).

The Repair Tick (repair.sqf)

repair.sqf is the addAction handler. It reads the shared globals obj and objnum set by viem.sqf to know which building and which baseb row to use.

Step	Behavior	Source
Supply snapshot	sleep 1, then _currentSupply = (sideJoined) Call GetSideSupply;. sideJoined is the player's side, set at Client/Init/Init_Client.sqf:5.	WASP/baserep/repair.sqf:5-7
Supply gate	Only proceeds if _currentSupply > 5; otherwise it hints the no-supply message and exits.	WASP/baserep/repair.sqf:8,31-33
Repair passes	Outer loop for "_j" from 0 to 1 (two passes); each pass plays AinvPknlMstpSlayWrflDnon_medic then runs the inner tick loop for "_i" from 0 to 6 (7 ticks).	WASP/baserep/repair.sqf:9-14
Per-tick HUD	Recomputes _dam, re-colors green/yellow/red, hintSilents building name + State %.	WASP/baserep/repair.sqf:16-22
Supply drain	Each tick calls [sideJoined, -15, "Factory being repaired...", false] Call ChangeSideSupply; — a flat -15 supply per tick.	WASP/baserep/repair.sqf:24
HP increment	_dam = _dam + (baseb select objnum select 3) adds that building's repair-rate %, then obj setDamage (1 - _dam/100) writes the new damage. sleep 1 between ticks.	WASP/baserep/repair.sqf:25-28
End	After both passes, repairprocess = "no" re-arms the viem.sqf add/remove logic.	WASP/baserep/repair.sqf:36

Total work per activation: 2 passes × 7 ticks = up to 14 ticks, each spending 15 supply (up to 210 supply) and adding the building's rate % to health. At 1 s per tick plus the per-pass animation, one activation runs roughly 15-16 seconds.

2026-06-24 PR #63 Repair Anti-Spam Branch Addendum

Open draft PR #63 / origin/claude/trello-repair-antispam@9ba13a662263346c7fc6754912eec8274348ce7b is branch-only repair anti-spam evidence, not current stable behavior. A fetch-before-commit recheck found current master had advanced to origin/master@4a163bb65fb46b94916e28f0305774a6d526cd54; GitHub PR #63 mergeability was then mergeable=null / unknown, while the PR base SHA and local merge-base remained f8a76de349da6f8b871d079c828436c10afb221c. Local origin/master...origin/claude/trello-repair-antispam counts are now 95 1. The base-relative diff is still eight maintained-root files / +82 / -12, clean under git diff --check, and all changed paths stay in source Chernarus plus maintained Vanilla Takistan.

Branch change	Evidence	Scope / caveat
Base-repair re-entry guard	Both maintained-root branch copies of WASP/baserep/repair.sqf add WASP_BaseRepair_Running at :5-6, remove the stored WASP_BaseRepair_Action at :8-10, and clear the guard on early/final exits at :35,:45,:51. Current master has no WASP_BaseRepair_Running hits; it still relies on repairprocess and action cleanup in repair.sqf:23,36 plus viem.sqf:1,6-9,35,48,51,53,58,66,69-70.	Same-client action-spam mitigation only. It does not move supply drains or building setDamage server-side, and it does not resolve the shared obj / objnum target globals or stale supply snapshot debts below.
Vehicle repair local flag	Both maintained-root branch copies of Client_SupportRepair.sqf add wfbe_veh_repairing at :10-11, clear it on failure/success/final cleanup at :77-78,:93, and keep the existing repair apply at setDammage 0 (:83 on branch, :77 on current master).	The flag is written with public flag false, so treat it as a client-local/per-vehicle guard for the initiating client until runtime smoke proves any broader locality expectation.
Service menu skip while repairing	Both maintained-root branch copies of GUI_Menu_Service.sqf make _martyServiceGetPrice return 0 for REPAIR when wfbe_veh_repairing is set (:60), which prevents the single/batch/full-service repair spawns that only enqueue positive-price actions. Current master still spawns SupportRepair from service actions without the flag at GUI_Menu_Service.sqf:183,221,501 in both roots.	This prevents repeat repair selection while the local flag is active. It is not a general service affordability guard, stale-context fix, or server-owned economy repair. See Service menu affordability guards.
Player feedback string	Both branch roots add STR_WF_INFO_Repair_Veh_InProgress at stringtable.xml:912. Current master has no matching key in maintained roots.	Localized hint support for repeated repair attempts; verify all languages/package output before release wording.

Promotion gate: rebase or deliberately recheck against post-B751b master, then smoke source Chernarus plus maintained Vanilla. For base repair, as commander, damage a friendly base structure, start Repair, attempt repeated activation/clicks while in progress, walk out of range, exhaust/no-supply and fully repaired cases, and verify the guard/action clears without duplicate loops, double supply drain or RPT errors. For vehicle repair, start single Repair, batch service and full service, repeat clicks while repairing, and verify out-of-support/dead/airborne/final-success paths clear the flag while rearm/refuel/heal remain unchanged. Do not describe PR #63 as server-authority closure or current stable behavior until that later evidence exists.

Known Issues And Hardening Notes

Issue	Detail	Source
Supply snapshot not rechecked	_currentSupply is captured once at the start (:7). The drain at :24 spends -15/tick unconditionally without re-reading supply, and the only early-out (:23) requires both _dam == 100 AND the stale _currentSupply == 0. Repair can continue past the side's actual available supply.	WASP/baserep/repair.sqf:7,23,24
Shared-global target state	The selected building and row index live in plain globals obj/objnum (viem.sqf:50), consumed by repair.sqf:16,20,25,27. Two overlapping repair flows can stomp each other's target. Convert to action arguments or player-local variables before making the feature more prominent.	WASP/baserep/viem.sqf:50; WASP/baserep/repair.sqf:16,20,25,27
Missing localization key	The no-supply branch localizes RB_have_no_suppluys_for_rep (repair.sqf:31), but no such key exists in stringtable.xml. The player would see the raw key string instead of a translated message.	WASP/baserep/repair.sqf:31
Undefined _i in no-supply text	The no-supply hint text uses (baseb select _i) select 1 (repair.sqf:31), but _i is the inner-loop counter and is not in scope at that point — this branch is outside the for "_i" loop.	WASP/baserep/repair.sqf:31
Client-side authority	The whole flow runs on the commander's client (setDamage and ChangeSideSupply from the player). ChangeSideSupply publishes a wfbe_supply_temp_%1 request to the server (Common/Functions/Common_ChangeSideSupply.sqf:28-30), but the building setDamage is client-local. Treat as authority-light legacy code; route building HP and supply ledger server-side if hardened.	WASP/baserep/repair.sqf:24,27

Do not confuse this with the stock Server_HandleBuildingRepair.sqf path: WASP base repair is the live client-side chain from Init_Client.sqf:649, whereas the stock server handler had no active source caller during the construction audit (see WASP overlay).
