NR3 TACTICAL REQUESTS

Coordinate air and logistics support between players. Ground troops request
what they need, pilots and drivers see it in a live queue, accept it and get
guided to the location with map markers and waypoints.

----------------------------------------
REQUEST TYPES
----------------------------------------
PICKUP
  A transport helicopter picks you (and your squad) up.
  Optionally choose a drop-off point on the map.

CASUALTY / URGENT (medevac)
  An urgent pickup: shown first and highlighted in red for pilots, and every
  transport pilot of your faction is alerted immediately.

AIR SUPPORT
  An armed helicopter flies to a target area you choose on the map.

SUPPLIES
  A supply truck or helicopter brings supplies to a drop point of your
  choice.

----------------------------------------
HOW TO USE - GROUND TROOPS
----------------------------------------
- Open the Tactical Requests menu: F7 (gamepad: hold LB + D-pad up).
- Choose REQUEST PICKUP, CASUALTY / URGENT, REQUEST AIR SUPPORT or
  REQUEST SUPPLIES. The request is placed at your position.
- Or use the map: open the map, right-click and choose
  "Request air support here" or "Request supplies here".
- While your request is active, right-click on the map to:
  - set or clear a pickup drop-off point,
  - move your air support target or supply drop point.
- You can cancel your request from the menu at any time.

Rules
- One active request per player.
- One request per type per squad (your squadmates are included in a squad
  pickup automatically).
- Requests nobody accepts expire after 15 minutes.

----------------------------------------
HOW TO USE - PILOTS AND DRIVERS
----------------------------------------
Your role is detected automatically from the vehicle you are in:
- Transport pilot: pilot seat of a helicopter with passenger seats.
- Air support pilot: pilot seat of a helicopter with armed weapon pylons,
  or a gunship without passenger seats.
- Supply provider: driver/pilot of a vehicle with supply storage
  (supply trucks, helicopters with a supply crate).
A vehicle can have several roles at once.

- Open the menu (F7) to see the requests you can take, with distance,
  squad size and drop-off information.
- ACCEPT a request to get a map marker and a waypoint, or REJECT it to hide
  it for yourself.
- Transport pilots can take several pickups at once, as long as the squads
  fit in the free passenger seats (up to 4 pickups). The waypoint always
  points at the nearest open stop.
- Each accepted job is listed in the menu with ABORT (and COMPLETE for air
  support and supplies).

When is a request done?
- Pickup: when the requester gets out near the drop-off point, or after a
  flight of at least 100 m.
- Air support: when the pilot presses COMPLETE, or automatically after
  3 minutes on station (within 1 km of the target).
- Supplies: automatically when the vehicle unloads supplies near the drop
  point, or when the driver/pilot presses COMPLETE.

If the pilot dies, disconnects or the helicopter is destroyed, the request
goes back to the queue for another pilot.

----------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS / NOTES

- Must be loaded on the server and on all clients.
- Built for Conflict-style game modes. Supply requests use the game's
  supply system.
