Airdrop Supplies for Skirmish

Description
The following is translated by AI:

Compatibility:
This is a part that I have separated from my personal mod.

It is compatible with most mods that do not add or significantly change the doctrine framework.

Since it adds content by including a new file separately, it can still function normally even if you have modified the units file (unless you have changed the doctrine ID).

However, it absolutely cannot coexist with large mods like Hotmod or MACE, as these mods add many new faction doctrines and most likely modify the roster_ files.


What is the effect of this mod?
It adds a free airdrop supply to all doctrines in all periods of the original game.
The effect is equivalent to the supply smoke from the Support Doctrine, but you can choose the drop location just like with an airstrike.

This ability is unlocked at the beginning of the game, costs 0 doctrine points, and has a 6-minute cooldown after use.

The airdropped crates are neutral and will not be attacked by AI. Enjoy the on-demand logistical support.

Finally,
the US faction does not have a macro command for airdrop crates, so the US uses the Soviet ammunition crates. Although I could easily solve this problem by adding a macro command, modifying one more file reduces compatibility. Please understand.


This MOD is fully open-source and licensed for everyone to freely modify.

@MOMO yes i ever saw that in hotmod or MACE. What i've been thinking is airdropping support weapons which cant be towed such as MGs and Mortars. Also, Hotmod/west81 has airdropped paratroopers already

@BroDimm We can also use this code to directly air-drop a vehicle, which is quite simple. However, paratroopers have not been implemented because infantry cannot be neutrally spawned (the game would crash).

@powlinger IIRC, MACE has ability to call in tank drop from supply officer. Maybe can start from there

@Prowlinger Well... if you want to have soldiers parachute in, you would typically need to write a script event. This is usually found in campaigns or levels with a fixed progression (in other words, it modifies the map files to add script events, similar to AI airstrikes in conquest mode). At least for now, I don't have the capability to do this. I've tried to create a similar effect before, but it would cause the game to crash due to desynchronization in multiplayer mode.

Can you also create airdrop airborne? Frustrating they all walk in to the map when ordered. You should be able to drop them where you want and they parachute down :)
