The Modular Deployment System is a sophisticated faction-agnostic framework that replaces the legacy BaseUpgrade system. It provides a flexible, config-driven approach for all factions to deploy military assets anywhere on the map using a modular architecture.
The Modular Deployment System is production-ready with a complete modular architecture supporting complex deployment scenarios.
Scripts/Game/GameMode/Deployments/OVT_DeploymentComponent.cKey Features:
Scripts/Game/GameMode/Deployments/OVT_DeploymentManager.cScripts/Game/GameMode/Deployments/Modules/OVT_BaseDeploymentModule.cDeployments are composed of small, reusable modules:
Purpose: Spawns and manages vehicles
class OVT_VehicleSpawningDeploymentModule : OVT_BaseSpawningDeploymentModule

{
[Attribute()]
float m_fMinimumThreat; // Minimum threat level for activation
[Attribute()]
float m_fMaximumThreat; // Maximum threat level for activation

}
Purpose: Activates deployment based on time of day
class OVT_TimeConditionDeploymentModule : OVT_BaseConditionDeploymentModule

[Attribute()]
int m_iStartHour; // Start hour (0-23)
[Attribute()]
int m_iEndHour; // End hour (0-23)
