Autonomous Suicide Drones

Description
These drones will fly towards the first enemy they spot then drop out of the sky to deliver your choice of explosive. Can be given waypoints to loiter or patrol around an area which will automatically be broken once a threat is spotted.

For demonstration purposes I have included NATO, CSAT and AAF drones with a different bomb strapped to each, but you can easily swap the payload for different explosives. Simply rename your choice bomb to "bombWest", "bombEast" or "bombInd" depending on the drone you're using.

can you make the drones spawn far away from each other because they just all explode at each other when i place them down so i have to quickly move one away

now i just need to find a way to dynamically and periodically spawn these awesome drones in my escape Ukraine missions

ive figured out how to get around the issue of multiple drones not detonating their payloads. As Monarch pointed out and to expand on his comment, when placing another drone of the same side, the explosive variable name will be automatically named bombEast_1 for example, then placing an additional drone will name it bombEast_2 and so forth. However the init of each drone placed will still refer to bombEast as its assigned explosive, this is incorrect. So what you need to do is adjust the drone init for each time you place a new one of the same type to ensure the name of the bomb correctly matches the name of the actual explosive its attached to.

Nice work! I changed the mines and IED's with vanilla explosives and it works even better. Future war is finally here!

Mod works great; for those that need assistance - in the editor, under composition (f2) find the custom tab that is on the far right of side selection bar (bluefor, redfor, guer, etc). There will be a section called autonomous suicide drones. This is how I tested it:

Open up the map editor, put a fireteam of bluefor guys on the map. Put down the autonomous suicide drones from the custom tab onto the map a little distance away from the bluefor team. Delete the green/blue drones so that only the CSAT red one remains. Give the drone a waypoint (shift-right click) towards the bluefor team. Load up the mission, and give the drone a few seconds to start up. It'll lift up, head towards the marker, spot the team and dive down to blow up.

My drone landed a few off from where the team was, but the shrapnel knocked down 1/4 of my guys.

This seems to work. Thank you!
They are in compositions > custom. They tend to blow up on the ground but when flying they seem to be able to find targets
