Feature Request: Supply Drop Reinforcement #221

Open neilzar opened 5 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Just dropping in a crate that then magically gets a parachute can be immersion breaking.

Solution you'd like: People in my community would like to see the Supply Drop module become available in ZEN.

Does the Unload Vehicle Cargo context action suffice for this purpose? https://youtu.be/r1tl-1ym6u0

Or do you still feel we need a waypoint which does not require timing? https://youtu.be/dcMqn25_yTs

I think that the waypoint and context actions are better than nothing, but to set this up it takes time. The same principle applies to the reinforcement module.

I don't typically have the time to babysit the AI to make sure they do want I want them to do. Using a module for this would make it dead-simple and more robust.

I'm thinking that the UI could heavily resemble the reinforcements module but adding a new option that allows the transport vehicle to be disguised as a civilian (like in the ambient flyby module) so in some instances the AI don't shoot it down.

I suppose with the setup style of the reinforcement module it'd be easier to repeat a drop. Should the approach be a custom waypoint type or just use waypointStatements?
