Description:

Simple drone jamming mod inspired by Kyklop’s great electronic warfare mod, turns vanilla/contact DLC radio backpacks into drone jammers, disabled when the wearer is killed or disabled in the action menu.

I made this mainly to spice up Antistasi, as it was too easy to just lob RC-40 after RC-40 into a point. With this, if there is a jammer, they have to be dealt with first before drones can be used. And it also works well for Drongos Drone Tweaks to prevent RC-40HEs from ruining your life.

• Lightweight drone only jamming without extra E-War features.
• Contact/Vanilla radio backpacks act as jammers.
• Toolkit/Medkit sized "Portable jammer" with reduced range, designed to protect againt RC-40 Attacks.
• Killing AI/Player with jammer equipped disables the jammer. (Great for Antistasi)
• Visual Interference as drone approaches jamming source.
• Breaks control link to operate and disables autonomous UAV Waypoint Navigation while "Jammed"
• Player worn backpack jammers can be disabled or enabled from the action menu
• Configurable range via CBA
• Optional: Antistasi Ultimate integration (handles incapacitation differently to vanilla arma)
• Optional: Enemy-only jamming through smart filtering (Blufor jams Red and Green unless allied but NOT Blufor)
• Optional: AI Jammers can auto-activate when the AI is in AWARE/COMBAT/STEALTH
• Optional: RC-40s can detonate when within a certain range of the jammer, making it good against FPV attacks.

• Option to enable/disable killing user stops jamming.
• Option to add jamming action to Comms offroads.
• CBA Settings to add custom backpacks by name.
• Inventory Item that jams drones in a smaller radius but doesnt require sacrificing entire backpack for.

• When player is incapacitated in Antistasi, the backpack is disabled. Dropping and picking it back up allows player to start jamming again.

Let me know if you find any bugs or have any suggestions for improvements.

Special thanks to Kyklop and their Electronic warfare mod for inspiration. If you want more features like explosive and radio jamming, please give them a download.
