Mission Highlights

How It Works

-- Module loaded by gameplay_discover.loadDiscovers()
local D = {}
D.pageInfo = { ... }
D.experiences = arrayConcat(freeroamExperiences, missions)
return D

Each forklift/log loader experience:

1. Disables traffic
2. Starts freeroam on the appropriate level
3. Loads a prefab containing pre-positioned vehicles
4. Finds vehicles by internal name from the prefab
5. Puts the player in the designated vehicle
6. Sets up task list with hydraulic/control instructions

Key Behaviors

• Prefab vehicles are found by iterating scenetree.findClassObjects("BeamNGVehicle") and matching getInternalName()
• All experiences use commands.setGameCamera() after vehicle entry
• The rockslide experience uses onVehicleSwitched hook for task progression
• All Italian quarry missions reference the new quarry area added in 0.38
• Localization keys follow ui.experiences.discover_038.* pattern
