Should ask Horstzy if hes interested he could extract it and turn it into a mod if you wanted, of course ask him first but he has some great skill. ...please..many of us are been waiting for a mod like that. A small drone carriable in the backpack instead of having a dedicated unit for UAV operation is much needed... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If someone is up to assist me I absolutely would consider making it into a mod, but I barely managed to make a sound and image pack lol. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine functions like wildlands, currently you press a button then a drone gets kinda "thrown" into the air, there's no animations or anything, just a drone spawns flying in the air and you instantly take controls of it. There's a recon one, which i made able to drop smoke grenades, the other is a medic which heals players in the area of it, and can revive players, and then there's two different combat style ones. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4064 Posted May 10, 2020 Nice dude! Dont need any special animation, just having a drone in Arma3 that functions like GRW drone with its ability and combined with ETS itself would be cool and fun as hell to play with! Are you able to undelploy the drone in the same fashion like press whatever key to deploy it, it returns back or how does that work? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Currently they have a battery life of like 2 minutes and auto clean up after its all said and done, but I was going to add a scroll menu to "put it away", or delete it. But, since there's interest from people wanting to see the script become a standalone mod I am currently right now taking a look at attaching a faux drone to the players hand, and doing a grenade throw animation along with a small sleep timer to make it seem like the drone got thrown into the air. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4064 Posted May 10, 2020 I dont want to derail the thread here with this new subject, maybe you could release your script you put together on its own thread and we can continue the discussion there that would be ideal, but ETS would definitely compliment the drone, something new and unique and game changing to what everyone us used too that is if folks are interested and have a use for it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely, I was actually worried about derailing your thread a long time ago, but I wanted to keep no reply unreplied, sorry about that lmao. I'll make a new post soon, when I figure out the appropriate forum that is. What would be the best topic for a mod that isn't ready for prime time but is basically a WIP close to being released? I'll make a thread there and post the video demonstration in the OP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But best topic as in a name? Name would be based on what it does, you could name it like Slay's GRW Drone mod or something like it, whatever you think its your work, but then put - WIP on the end of it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
