Air Dropped Vehicles by VisEntities
Call in vehicles by air using skinned supply signals

Works With
Gear Core, Karuza Custom Vehicles
By default, supply signals call in a cargo plane that drops a standard supply crate. This plugin repurposes that system so specially skinned supply signals instead call in a cargo plane that parachutes a vehicle directly to the drop zone.
When a player throws a configured vehicle signal, a cargo plane is dispatched to the drop location. Instead of a supply crate, the plane drops the chosen vehicle hanging beneath a parachute, descending vertically at a configurable speed. The vehicle detaches just above the ground and lands ready to use, with a preset amount of fuel already in the tank.
Each vehicle type is tied to a unique supply signal skin ID and optional display name, allowing multiple vehicle signals to coexist on the same server. A permission check gates who can deploy these signals, and players without access receive a refund of the signal item.

}Vehicle Drop Settings
Each entry in Vehicle Drops defines one vehicle signal type. Multiple entries can be added for different vehicles.Supply Signal Skin Id-- The Steam Workshop skin ID applied to the supply signal item. This is the primary identifier used to match a thrown signal to a vehicle drop configurationSupply Signal Display Name-- Optional. If set, the thrown signal must also match this display name (case-insensitive) in addition to the skin ID. Use this to differentiate signals that share the same skin. Leave empty to match by skin ID aloneVehicle Prefab Path-- The full prefab path of the vehicle to spawn. See Vehicle Prefab Paths for common pathsDescent Speed-- How fast the vehicle descends during the drop. See Descent Speeds for accepted valuesInitial Fuel Amount-- Amount of low-grade fuel added to the vehicle on spawn. Set to0for no fuel. Has no effect on vehicles without a fuel tankGear Set To Equip On Carrier NPC-- Name of a Gear Core gear set to apply to the dummy NPC carrier during the drop. Leave empty to disable. Requires Gear Core to be loaded

Karuza Customs vehicles
This plugin is compatible with custom vehicles added by Karuza. Simply place the custom vehicle's prefab path in the
Vehicle Prefab Path field and it will spawn and descend like any vanilla vehicle.Descent Speeds
TheDescent Speed field accepts one of five values that control how fast the parachute descends:| Value | Speed |
|---|---|
VerySlow | ~2 m/s - very gentle, long hang time |
Slow | ~5 m/s - leisurely descent |
Normal | ~8 m/s - moderate drop speed |
Fast | ~14 m/s - quick delivery |
VeryFast | ~22 m/s rapid drop, shorter airtime- |
