The terminal is a computer capable of locating things (resources, mission objectives, ect.) there are a few commands on the terminal (exit, cls, ping, query, list.) the most important commands are query, ping and list.
Locating.
The sole purpose of the terminal is to locate items such as medkits, tool refills and mission objectives (HSU, PID.) To locate an item you need the item id which you can get by typing list (list medi, ect.) When it's done you get all of the id's of the items (example. medipack_123.) after this you use the command ''query'' to locate which zone it's in (example. query medipack_123.) once this is done you get the zone that the item you are looking for is in, if it is in the same zone as you, you can use the command ''ping'' (example. ping medipack_123.) This can be used on pretty much everything in the game from boxes, resources, doors and other terminals.
Almost every item including doors, boxes, cabinets and terminal, has their id printed somewhere on them.
How to find Resource Packs
To find resources in a specific zone use the following command depending on which one you want:
- For ammo: LIST AMMO ZONE_NUMBER (EX: LIST AMMO ZONE_30)
- For medkits: LIST MEDI ZONE_NUMBER (EX: LIST MEDI ZONE_46)
- For tool kits: LIST TOOL ZONE_NUMBER (EX: LIST TOOL ZONE_97)
Doing this correctly will list how many of each resource type is in the zone and will show up for example as AMMOPACK_304, MEDIPACK_249, or TOOL_REFILL_496 depending on what you searched for. Each zone may contain none or as many as 3-4 of a specific resource.
Querying
You may QUERY a specific resource pack to determine how many uses it has to determine if it's worth the risk to venture into specific areas for supplies.
The following command to Query would be: Query AMMOPACK_304.
When done correctly the query will list what zone the item is and how many uses it has and will show up as: AMMUNITION PACK - CAPACITY: 80%, indicating the ammo pack has 4 uses.
Pinging a Resource Pack
Pinging command allows players to quickly find items within the same zone the player is currently located in. They can be narrowed down to their EXACT location with the Zone and Area Letter, on top of that they will give an audible pinging sound to all team mates and the closer you are to the item, the louder the ping becomes enabling players to pinpoint their location in the room it is held in.
The command to ping an item (requires the player to be in the same ZONE where the item is held or else the pinging will not work): PING RESOURCE_XXX (EX: PING AMMOPACK_304)
When done correctly it will show up as something like: AMMOPACK_304 - LOCATION: ZONE 30 - AREA B. This information gives the exact location where something is location, saving a lot of time than searching randomly.
