# Economy Usage Guide
The economy server addon owns Arma-world service behavior for fuel, medical,
and repair interactions. It does not own money state. Money mutations go
through extension-backed bank and organization hot state before the world
effect is applied.
## Dependencies
- `forge_server_common` for logging, formatting, and player lookup.
- `forge_server_bank` for personal medical billing.
- `forge_server_org` for organization-funded services and medical fallback
debt.
- `forge_client_actor` and `forge_client_notifications` for targeted client
responses.
## Fuel
Fuel is organization-funded.
When refueling stops, `fnc_initFEconomyStore.sqf` calculates the fuel delta and
cost, charges the player's organization through `OrgStore chargeCheckout`, and
syncs the organization patch to online members. If organization funds cannot
cover the refuel, the vehicle is rolled back to the fuel level it had when the
session started.
Garage UI refuel requests use the server `RefuelService` event. The fuel store
calculates missing fuel from the vehicle config `fuelCapacity`, charges the
player's organization, and fills the vehicle only after the organization charge
succeeds.
## Repair
Repair is organization-funded.
Use the repair service event:
```sqf
[QEGVAR(economy,RepairService), [_target, _unit, _cost]] call CBA_fnc_serverEvent;
```
`_cost` is optional. Passing `-1` uses the configured service repair cost.
The target is only repaired after the organization charge succeeds.
The client garage UI forwards selected nearby vehicle repair requests through
the same event.
## Rearm
Rearm is organization-funded.
Use the rearm service event:
```sqf
[QEGVAR(economy,RearmService), [_target, _unit, _cost]] call CBA_fnc_serverEvent;
```
`_cost` is optional. Passing `-1` uses the configured service rearm cost.
The target is only rearmed after the organization charge succeeds.
`setVehicleAmmo` has global effects, but the ammo is only added to local
turrets, so the service broadcasts the ammo reset after billing succeeds.
The client garage UI forwards selected nearby vehicle rearm requests through
the same event.
## Medical
Medical is player-funded first.
When a heal is requested, `fnc_initMEconomyStore.sqf` uses this billing order:
1. Charge the player's bank balance when it can cover the medical fee.
2. Otherwise charge the player's cash when it can cover the fee.
3. If neither personal balance can cover the fee, charge organization funds.
4. When organization funds cover the fallback charge, record the same amount as
debt on the player's organization credit line.
The heal only completes after one of those charges succeeds. If personal
billing is unavailable, the heal does not fall back to organization funds
because the server cannot verify that the player is unable to cover the fee.
## Medical Debt Repayment
Medical fallback debt uses the existing organization credit-line repayment
flow. The organization treasury is reduced when the service is rendered, and
the player's credit-line `amount_due` increases by the medical fee. When the
player repays through the bank credit-line repayment action, player bank funds
are moved back into the organization treasury.
## Hot-Cache Boundary
The economy addon should stay server-authoritative for world effects such as
vehicle fuel, vehicle repair, healing, respawn placement, and death inventory
movement. Bank and organization balances should continue to mutate through the
extension-backed hot-cache services.
