restore droppod reinforcements logic and superweapon
This specification was automatically generated from a feature request imported into Ares's LaunchPad bugtracker. If you are interested in fleshing out this feature, please update this page.
In TS it was possible to set a flag on a teamtype and have the infantry units in the task force delivered by drop pods. This flag is now used for paradrop reinforcements AFAIK. FS also added a user targetable superweapon that delivered a hard coded taskforce via drop pods. It would be nice to see both of these restored and the superweapon taskfoce being customisable.
- Support not less than Tiberian Sun's features regarding Drop Pods (this does not include the Drop Pod crate bonus)
- This needs to be filled by a supporter/drafter of this specification.
This re-implements the Drop Pod SW (Type=DropPod) known from Firestorm. Firestorm had types E1 and E2 hardcoded, which is not recreated. Thus, don't forget to set the types.
Global tags: [General]DropPodTypes= (list of TechnoTypes): The types to chose from. Each type has an equal chance of being selected. You can add types more than once. Only infantry is supported.
[General]DropPodMinimum= (integer): The minimum number of Drop Pods being generated. Defaults to 0.
[General]DropPodMaximum= (integer): The maximum number of Drop Pods being generated. Defaults to 0.
