DORDER_DROIDREPAIR

Overview

Availability

 Requires backport.dorder.js.

This isn't a standard feature of the JS API, however it's a constant used by the game engine so it's recognised by Warzone from at least 3.1 Beta 1 onwards.

Example

if (!isVTOL(damagedDroidObject)) orderDroidObj(myRepairDroid,DORDER_DROIDREPAIR,damagedDroidObject);

Notes

A droid's current order can be determined from it's .order property, and it's health from the .health property. For more infomration see Droid object.

The repair droid will travel to the damaged droid to repair it.

If you want a repair droid to repair a VTOL, move the VTOL (using DORDER_MOVE) to the repair droid, wait until it lands (triggering eventDroidIdle()) and only then tell the repair droid to repair it. It's much better to send VTOLs for repair at a rearming pad (DORDER_REARM) because they'll also get their weapons restocked.

Be careful when repairing hovercraft - your repair droid might not be able to reach the damaged hovercraft if its on a lake.
