Assisting upgrades/stockpile possible?

[REVENGE]

I saw that in SupCom, you can assist units that are being upgraded, or even help assist launchers in stockpiling ammo. Is this possible at all [lua] right now in Spring, or would we need engine changes?

[trepan]

This should be enough:

* Added the ability to set the stockpile percent
 (could only set the stockpile count before this change)

yeah, it is technical possible, but it is more than complicated. Reason are:
*you have to draw and handle the nanoframe by your own
*you have to control the start/stop assist animations by your own
*you have to manage the buildpower by your own

The only hard bit would be the nanospray, you'd need a CEG instead. Calling COB functions is trivially easy. It might be hard to keep the units within radius as well, I'm not sure there's a "close in to x distance" command so you'd have to manually find a point near the target.
