Hi,

Assault UAV:
This is a small assault UAV armed with a light MG, its armor plating is very thin so it is easily destroyed, however since it is very small and agile it is very hard to hit.

Bomber UAV:
A light bomber UAV, equipped with a pistol turret and light bombs, press num0 or 0 to drop a bomb. Easily destroyed since the impact detonated bombs are unprotected.

Mine Deployer UAV:
A light bomber UAV, equipped with an SMG turret and anti personnel mines, press num0, 0 or middle mouse button to drop a mine. Easily destroyed since the mines are unprotected.

mainly because of sprite? it's just some dark grey lines ._.

it's very fun to use though; i love all of these floating drone things that people make. they are the best sort of thing. the fact that this is a craft makes it even more fun to control since physics are actually applied to it.

edit: i am more looking forward to bomber UAV.

Actually this is an ACrab luaed to act like a craft, so the same physics are applied to it, and thanks for you kind comments, I'll probably make both planned UAVs, however I don't have the time today.

oh, heh. i don't really know about how lua too much and i saw it in the craft menu and it acted like a craft, so i assumed it was a craft. that's pretty cool though.

I am actually glad you mistook it for a craft since I tried to make is act almost perfectly like a craft, that means I succeeded.

Updated to V1.20:

New sprites by Lizard
Bombs can now be dropped using the middle mouse button (num0 and 0 still work)
Corrected some mistakes in the lua scripts
The game won't crash anymore when the bomber is gibbed (tested 25 times without a single crash)
Added gibs
Made the bombs a bit less powerful
Reduced the Assault UAV's ROF a bit
Made the bullets a bit more visible to make aiming while moving easier
Removed terrain rape

I just re uploaded the file with a fix that should work, please re download.
Edit: this fix also corrects the bomber exploding when shooting and changes a few other things

I love how each bomb is dropped separately and leaves a gap where it was in the bomb bay. It's a nice little effect.

I really like the bomber. Flinging grenades at people from above just never gets old.

You need to verify that the grenades are valid MOs before you access them to avoid the crashes, just checking for nil is not enough. The "MovableMan:ValidMO" function should suffice, but remember that the MO is not reported as valid until the frame after it was added. The game sometimes reports "dead" MOs as valid, so it can be a good idea to also check that an MO's PresetName isn't "Entity".

Thanks, it seems there aren't any crashes left(correct me if I'm wrong), but I'll use this in the future.

edit: btw i'm planning to release 2 more UAVs today.

Thanks, also if a bomb gets hit 2 times or with sufficient impulse while attatched to the bomber it will detonate, destroying the bomber and detonating the other bombs.
