MAN HX 10x10 Hooklift (SURVIVAL)

Description
A capable and modular offroad truck for all of your land-based logistics needs.

Comes equip with a functional hooklift that allows the operator to load and unload a variety of modules to completely change the purpose of your MAN HX. From a simple flatbed for carrying up to 370,000 Kg of cargo (about 8.5 small grid large cargo containers of stone) to an air defense module that can be deployed to defend your bases from enemy attacks. And it can accomplish that change in less than a minute without ever leaving the driver's seat.

In addition, the HX also has a trailer hitch to further enhance its capabilities, even while carrying a hooklift module. Once a trailer is connected, the operator can raise/lower the trailer legs from the cabin (see Toolbar #3).

Both the hooklift connector and trailer hitch are integrated into the HX's conveyor system. This means you can expand the fuel capacity of the truck on the fly or access cargo on the module/trailer from the truck's underside connector or the side mounted cargo containers (assuming that cargo can fit through small conveyor ports).

Powered by an efficient hydrogen/electric hybrid drivetrain that, so long as it has ice, will keep the HX moving. The drivetrain itself is made up of 7 hydrogen engines that will automatically start up to recharge the 2 batteries AND power the 10 5x5 wheels. The engines are fed by 4 O2/H2 generators that can keep all engines going as well as keep the airtight cabin pressurized, ensuring safe operations where there is no atmosphere. A large port for one of the O2/H2 generators can be accessed on the driver's side behind the 2nd wheel for refilling personal H2 and O2 tanks.

Hooklift Operating Instructions
=============================
1. Reverse towards the front of the hooklift module. Use the rear view camera (Toolbar #1 - slot 6) to help align to the center of the module. Make sure the truck is straight with the module to reduce risk of damage and clang.
2. Unlock the hooklift arm (Toolbar #4 - slot 9). A broadcast controller message will appear in chat to tell you whether the arm is locked/unlocked.
3. Turn on the secondary hinge (Toolbar #4 - slot 1) then the primary hinge (Toolbar #4 - slot 3). Turn off the primary hinge once the rotor on the hooklift arm is level with the rotor part on the module (the rear view camera can also help with this).
4. Slowly reverse towards the module until the rotor part is inside the hooklift rotor. Then attach the module to the hooklift (Toolbar #4 - slot 6).
5. Reverse the primary hinge (Toolbar #4 - slot 4) and turn it back on. Once the primary arm is fully retracted, reverse the secondary hinge (Toolbar #4 - slot 2).
6. Once the secondary arm is fully retracted, turn off both hinges then lock both the arm and module to the truck (Toolbar #4 - slot 9). You have now loaded a hooklift module onto your MAN HX.

To unload the hooklift, follow these steps in reverse.

For a smoother experience, do not engage the parking brake.

When loading extremely heavy loads, deploy the outriggers by:
1. Unlock the outriggers (Toolbar #3 - slot 7).
2. Reverse the hinges (Toolbar #3 - slot 8).
3. Once the hinges are extended, extend the pistons (Toolbar #3 - slot 9).

Known Issues
=============================
-The broadcast controller will spam the Unlocked message while operating the hooklift arm near its retracted position.
