Sorry this took longer to get out than I wanted, ran into a few bugs that I needed to kill!
So here is my take on Cre4mpie's Airdrop system that he has posted. Chunks and methods were taken from that for portions of this version, so props to Cre4mpie for all the work he had put forth. I've also stripped some methods from base A3W, so due credit to AgentRev and the other devs there.
So how is this different than Cre4mpie's? Here:
1) Object Spawning has been moved Server Side, so no BE filter nonsense.
2) Airdropped objects are delivered by AI controlled Huron
3) Command Menu code generation is handled automatically, so no tedious config there.
LouD was good enough to do a quick Youtube Vid!Notes:1) To add new crates you need to modify the fn_refillbox on the server scripts to have the matching crateNames.

See This Post <-------
2) The heli and carried objects are not damageable while being transported. You can change this within the script if you want.
3) Money is taken from players' bank accounts
4) There is a 60 second cooldown timer
5) Persistence is active, so if you want to kill that you'll need to comment a couple lines
Install Instructions:So we need to edit a few files to get this addon to work:
1) init.sqf -- Add the following line under 3rd Party Scripts
[] execVM "addons\APOC_Airdrop_Assistance\init.sqf";
2) client\functions\playerActions.sqf Add this to the first block with all of the fn_addManagedAction chunks
[format ["<img image='\a3\Ui_f\data\GUI\Cfg\CommunicationMenu\supplydrop_ca.paa' color='%1'/> <t color='%1'>[</t>Airdrop Menu<t color='%1'>]</t>", "#FF0000"],"addons\APOC_Airdrop_Assistance\APOC_cli_menu.sqf",[], -100, false, false]
3) server\functions\fn_refillbox.sqf Add these two additional cases to have the boxes shown in my config
case "airdrop_DLC_Rifles":
{
_boxItems =
[
// Item type, Item class(es), # of items, # of magazines per weapon
["wep", ["srifle_DMR_03_multicam_F", "srifle_DMR_02_sniper_F", "srifle_DMR_05_hex_F", "srifle_DMR_04_Tan_F"], 2,4],
["itm", ["V_RebreatherB", "V_PlateCarrierIAGL_dgtl", "V_TacVest_camo", "V_PlateCarrierGL_rgr"], RANDOM_BETWEEN(1,8)],
["itm", ["B_Carryall_mcamo", "B_Kitbag_mcamo"], RANDOM_BETWEEN(2,5)],
["itm", ["bipod_01_F_blk", "bipod_02_F_hex"], 3]
];
};
case "airdrop_DLC_LMGs":
{
_boxItems =
[
// Item type, Item class(es), # of items, # of magazines per weapon
["wep", ["MMG_02_black_F", "MMG_01_hex_F"], 2,5],
["itm", ["V_RebreatherB", "V_PlateCarrierIAGL_dgtl", "V_TacVest_camo", "V_PlateCarrierGL_rgr"], RANDOM_BETWEEN(1,8)],
["itm", ["B_Carryall_mcamo", "B_Kitbag_mcamo"], RANDOM_BETWEEN(2,5)],
["itm", ["bipod_01_F_blk", "bipod_02_F_hex"], 2]
];
};
4) server\antihack\filterExecAttempt.sqf Need to add this to the list of "!_whitelisted then..." in the forEach
"APOC_srv_"
That should be all of the things that need changed!
Then you'll just need to drop the APOC_Airdrop_Assistance folder into your addons folder in your mission.
With the V1.25 zip, you can extract that to the root of your mission, and the folder structure will match the instructions above. There will be a warning about overwriting fn_refillbox.sqf and processItems.sqf. This is normal. These two functions have been updated to correct backpack add functionality. Be cautious of fn_refillbox, as it could overwrite any custom mission crates you might have created.
