Description:

Testing of basic squad/swarm mechanics on small drones, I got some plans for them in the future, but for now have this prototype of a quartet of drones and a larger one that fly around a shared targetPos. Uses Tongue’s unfinished Deepwater Horizon map (which I fixed by changing the skybox in editor). It’s also a very windy night, just sayin.

These drones are destroyable, but they have "shields"; destroy the white bits on them to make them vulnerable to destruction. After trying to test them with the vanilla guns I decided to test explosive weakspots to damage said shields too. The key to their coordination is extensive use of the registry system to have each individual drone communicate with a script that coordinates them.

Drones have AI that will attack you with guns and also rockets if you duck into cover.
