Summary

Fix for AI Airborne: keeps helicopter insertions and paratroopers away from the player main base in non-Conflict scenarios like Mike's Invade & Annex.

Description

AI Airborne - Invade Base Fix

An add-on fix for the "AI Airborne" mod by streetone, made for non-Conflict scenarios such as Mike's Invade & Annex.
Conflict MOB detection does not exist in these game modes, so this fix treats the player side's world-placed respawn points (e.g. the "HQ" spawn) as the main base and protects the area around it.

Features
- No paratrooper drops, canopy landings or rally points within the base protection radius (default 1000 m)
- Players inside the base radius are never selected as insertion targets
- Landed squads will not chase players who are inside the base (Search & Destroy target filter)
- Helicopter approach is rerouted if its path would cross the base; if no safe path exists, the insertion is postponed
- After the drop, the helicopter is removed early if it flies toward the base
- Player-deployed radio respawns and spawn points of the airborne (enemy) faction are ignored
- No dependency on Invade & Annex itself, so it works in other non-Conflict scenarios too
- Server-side only, dedicated server compatible

Configuration
Created automatically at: $profile:AIPS_MOBFix_IA_Config.json

{
  "BaseProtectRadius": 1000,
  "BlockFlightOverBase": true,
  "DespawnHelicopterNearBase": true,
  "IgnorePlayersInsideBase": true
}

BaseProtectRadius: 100-5000 m (default 1000)
Configuration changes require a server restart.

Notes
- For Conflict scenarios, use "AI Airborne - MOB Fix" instead.
- If an objective area is very close to the base, lower BaseProtectRadius (e.g. 500) so insertions can still reach it.

Requirements
- AI Airborne (streetone)
- SHS Backpacks (required by AI Airborne)
