(EDS) Slay's Expedited Drone System

Description
Intro:
Slay's Expedited Drone System lets the player quickly and efficently launch a drone without the headache of having a soldier set up ready for the job, which becomes a task. This sidesteps all of that, lets the player toss the drone into the sky from their pocket, much like games like Ghost Recon Wildlands. And as a bonus, the player can revive their friendlies using the revive mechanics of the medical drones, fight off enemies with the "placeable" UCAV, defend your perimeter with a Darter armed Super Drone, or perhaps lay down some carpet bombing with the the De-mining Drone (Combat Drone in the menu).
This mod is super lightweight and will work on most missions, and works with vanilla & vanilla revive.



Backstory:
Slay's Expedited Drone System formally known as Slay's Ghost Recon Wildlands Inspired Drones (SGRWD), is a script I made heavily inspired by Ghost Recon Wildlands drones. Remembered for their ability to revive teammates and provide useful information, I recreated this for Arma 3. (No mods, models, or extra mods required)

I did this mod ages ago for a mission I created called "Slay's Ravage". It's been a key component since the start of the mission back in 2016. It felt like a crime to leave it stuck inside there --in a mission unseen by most-- so I'm pulling parts of it out and putting them on workshop as stand-alone mods.


Features:

Player can spawn most drones, uavs, ucavs, and a few custom made ones.

Player can revive friendlies (Using vanilla Arma 3 Revive Mechanics[community.bistudio.com])

Players can use a few custom armed dones, as well as an armed UGV.

Custom Interface with multiple options.





Usage & Controls:

You must bind Custom User Action 16 to open the drone menu now!
Press 6 in game.

Player MUST have a UAV terminal to utilize the mod.

Drones can only be used for 3 minutes max.

ARE YOU GONNA ADD FPV DRONES BRO?
Slay No More  [author] 4 May @ 3:47pm 
The workshop version isn't exactly great for new additions, maybe one day I can release a new list menu version I have which is easier to add things to, I just don't know if the list menu will work outside of the server project it was made for.

In the meantime however, if you wanted to edit what I have coded up and credit me for the original I'm fine with that, maybe one day i can release the better version. I'm currently swamped redoing base building and other things for my 10 year old zombie survival project I'm trying to round off at the time of typing this.

is it alright for us to take a shot at this to try to add more drones?

ever plan to add fpv drones. this mod is awesome already but adding fpvs might make it legendary.

awesome mods, friend!

@Slay No More, Thanks for the reply.

i tried the example from this link:

https://pastebin.com/eF98vE41

but for some reason, the Darters don't even appear in the Eden Editor.

When i place a UAV Operator on the ground and try to assemble the UAV, it gives an error message like:

'bin/config.bin/CfgVehicles/O_UAV_01_F.simulation'

of course, the UAV names change depending on the faction's drone i'm trying to assemble.

i have already accepted your friend request. :)

also, thank you so much for your help.

my idea is to create a mod where the player can use their UAV Terminal to hack enemy drones and take control of them.

This would be especially useful and incredibly fun in Antistasi campaigns. :)

Not familar honestly with the hacking mechanism of Arma but maybe we can look into it, send me a message we can check it out.

hey hi, awesome mod, i'm trying to create a mod that allows the player to use the "Hack Drone" option from far as long as the player can see the Drone itself, i have been playing around with the "O_UAV_01_F"

but i'm kinda lost tbh.

in your mod, for players to hack the drone, they still have to get close to it ?

also, if you have any idea on how i should procced on this mod creation i would for sure credit you when is ready.

thanks. :)

Updated the scripts 3/22/2024.

Also make sure you have a Nato UAV Terminal and Custom User Action 16 bound, I don't think it requires the nato UAV terminal but it might. It's been a long while since I looked into the scripts.
