script [Ombra] Vehicle Drop Script/Function

[Ombra_ita 10]

Does it work in multiplayer?

Yes, MultiPlayer and SinglePlayer.

 

What does this script/function do?

This script requests a standard vehicle (unarmed) airdrop for moving purposes on player position.

If there is enough space on the airdrop plane, it parachutes 2 vehicles.

 

Supported factions and vehicles

BLUFOR NATO (Blackfish NATO Apex Expansion, this place can only fit 1 Hunter or 2 Prowlers as unarmed vehicles)

BLU_F
BLU_T_F

BLU_W_F → 1 Hunter or 2 Prowlers (random)

BLUFOR RHS FACTIONS (cargo comes in a C-130 of RHS USAF mod)
rhs_faction_usarmy_d
rhs_faction_usmc_d
rhs_faction_usarmy_wd
rhs_faction_usmc_wd → 2 Unarmed Humvee

INDEPENDENT (Blackfish NATO Apex Expansion)

IND_F

IND_E_F → 1 Strider

OPFOR CSAT (Y-32 Xi'an Apex Expansion, this plane it only fits one vehicle)

OPF_F

OPF_T_F
OPF_R_F → 1 Qilin (unarmed)

rhs_faction_msv

rhs_faction_vdv → 1 GAZ (unarmed, green)

 

How do I call the script?

[player] execVM "vehicleDrop.sqf";

 

vehicleDrop.sqf
