Supply Crates

A Supply Crate is a type of Object in Superfighters Deluxe, which allows the droping of Weapons and Powerups from the sky. This feature was added in PreAlpha 1.6.2.

Use
The main purpose of the Supply Crate is to contain a weapon or powerup which upon breaking (either by hand, bullets, explosion or fire) will drop a weapon, which is usually noted to the player via the illustration on the face of the box. This was added by the developers as a way to better control the frequency and balance to the spawn system. Despite having the developers to add more weapons without having to compensate values individually on the same spawner, it gives players a clear indication of what weapon a user will obtain if they break the crate.

Placement
Users can insert supply crates into a game manually as an object, but they can also create them via Triggers and ScriptAPI. However, Supply Crates can, and are usually used in the SpawnWeaponArea Marker, where crates will spawn just outside the map borders (or underneath the block above the marker's location). Supply Crates that travel a certain minimum distance will deploy a parachute slowing their descent, otherwise they drop to the ground.
