[LVS] Republic Attack Drone

Description
Description:
This addon contains an experimental unmanned aerial attack drone designed to fit into the Clone Wars era aesthetic under the Galactic Republic. It doubles both as a high altitude surveillance drone and a tactical attack drone. There is an armed and unarmed variant.


Features:
  • General
    • 1 pilot seat to control heading and altitude. 1 gunner seat to control camera and weapons.
    • High zoom camera for surveillance from extreme distances.
    • Modified torpedo launcher to take out heavier ground targets.
    • Experimental white phosphorus cluster bombs to act as an incendiary weapon that causes several fires for a significant amount of time.
    • Slow speed and maneuverability but very strong vertical thrust.
    • Custom sound effects.
    • New feature that teleports users back to the position they originally entered the drone to simulate the fact that this is an unmanned drone.

  • Stats
    • Maximum cruising speed of 46 km/h.
    • 100 health.
    • 500 shield.
    • Increased IFF render distance. Around 250% of the default.

  • Loadout
    • Surveillance camera with very high zoom level to see potential targets and objectives from extreme distances.
    • 20 proton torpedoes with increased damage and splash radius but a longer cooldown between shots.
    • 3 experimental white phosphorus bombs. They fire in a single capsule for 2 seconds before separating into 30 smaller projectiles that cause fires for 20 seconds at rate of 100 damage. If the bomb hits anything before the 2 second arming phase, no fires will be ignited.
    • FLIR camera that highlights players, NPCs, and LVS vehicles in white and all other things are black.

@Tic Just checked. It is fixed thank you.

@Raising Canes Caniac Combo I just pushed another update to address any possible bugs for the teleport features for both variants. Please let me know if there's any further issues or if it's just an addon conflict causing this.

@Tic normally I respawned at 0,0,0 even if the drone was never spawned in might be an addon conflict although I don't know which one

@Raising Canes Caniac Combo It's supposed to function like a drone so if you enter it and exit the drone or it despawns/gets destroyed, then you get teleported back to the point where you first got in the drone. If it's doing something other than that, please let me know.

Cool vehicle but for some reason causes me to respawn at one location only on maps (I assume 0,0,0)

This is pretty unique and cool, nice job.
