Usage

This function will give the in-game Chemical Watch Item (ChemicalDetector_01_watch_F) functionality which can be used alongside the Contamination Gas & Respirator Effects functions.

It will play Gieger sounds via UI sound channel along with increasing the numerical value the closer you get to the center of the provider marker(s).

Called from initPlayerLocal.sqf

Example:

[["MyMarker"], true] call MFUNC(chemicalDetector);
