force rotary wings to land (and minor refactoring) #57

Closed b-mayr-1984 closed 4 months ago

When merged players can not only stop rotary wing drones but also take them out by hacking or destruction. (The later would be difficult if the drone is to high up to see.)

Ground based drones (or other AIs) are just ignoring the land command. So no special handling is required for them.

Apart from this feature there are some minor typos fixed and removal of compiler warnings in HEMTT.

Tested using hemtt 1.10.2 and Arma3 at

Type: Public
Build: Stable
Version: 2.14.150957

One note for anyone that might test this. It can take surprisingly long until the drone decides to finally land.

Initially it will slowly descent to 30m and hover there for a while
before descending further in order to land.

Just keep this in mind. It has nothing to do with my change but just how Arma handles the land with drones command (a Little Bird actually lands quite fast).

I just realized that this will actually implement #11.
