Item Idea: "Supply-Drop"

[SailorMan]

I got this idea from a combination of things, and from Pepsimann. What if there was an item that could only be used in vehicles (A one time use only item, or an item that has a looong respawn time) that was basically a large box (Size of a 4x4x4 baseplate with a large version of the parachute). What it would do is fall to the ground slowly with a parachute on it, and when it lands, the parachute dissapears. Then, to open it, you just shoot it with an item (Or it opens when it hits the ground. There could be different types for this). And what is in this is an ammo pile, medicaequipment with say a + on the model, things like default guns, or a certain amount of items of the host's/admins' choosing through server preferences (This would look like the menu for adding weapons for teams in a TDM). There can even be a smoke emmitting box, or a vehicle drop box. Basically anything, it would be toggle-able.

Another way you can do this (But I dont think it would work that well) is to make it client sided, so that it drops when you hit a certain button.

This would be open to possibilies, like different models (Boxes that could break apart on landing, or a "Tube/canister/whatever you call it" type of object that opens up, like used in WWII) and the things I listed above. I would prefer the traditional wooden crate type of thing.

Another idea for a prop would be a box with a differently colored parachute that, when it hit the ground, would bust pen and a bunch of letters (Fake kill bricks) pop out of it. This would basically be the emitter from the explosion.

An example of one of those "Tube things" I was talking about with an example of items in it-

This could be used for rescue RPs, TDMS, seiges, and anything else you can dream of! Thanks for reading long post!

Now depending on what is dropped, well, instead of being toggable, why not make it manual for something interesting.
Player picks up certain items while holding the pod tool, pod tool takes it out of the inventory and places it in itself, and player drops it anytime they like.

There is a mod for this I believe?

If it drops a jeep, jeep will not go away, no matter what.
Also, it's an event.

It makes me happy to see a bunch of people interested in it. Does anyone know anyone that can help with this?

Cool, and we can do multiple versions to "Appease the many :P"

was it even able to drop vehicles? anyway, i believe that it worked fine, though everything except that guy's back door admin exploit.

[Lugnut]

there was a mod that spawned an invincible jeep, and ANOTHER ENTIRELY SEPERATE mod that dropped only items. the latter had a backdoor admin exploit and got failbinned.

I would love to use these in any war games I may develop.
