Support modules do not function properly on a dedicated server
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

There are bugs within the support modules causing them to not function properly in a dedicated environment.

Currently the air transport module has an issue where it will arrive when called but when the player who called the support request boards the chopper they are subsequently forcibly kicked out of it again and unable to set the transport destination.

The supply drop module works but there are as many additional parachute crates spawned as there are clients connected to the server. This looks impressive with a handful of players but is obviously unworkable on a large server.

Steps To Reproduce

Place modules and link together with a unit. Run the mission in a dedicated server environment and call the supports.

Additional Information

I assume the air transport bug is a locality issue? The ownership of the chopper is transferred from server to client when the client enters the chopper they have called and thus it loses its way points and the transport system breaks.
