New Bunker Buster CAS Missile: GBU-67-EP 'Paveway XXI'

[blackdragonTOW]

About the pull request

This adds a new missile to CAS which allows it to do -something- when the fight is in caves.

Pros:

• Can be fired into caves.

Cons:

• 2x the points of a Keeper II
• Exact same explosive profile of a Keeper II
• Can only be fired Direct, no Fire Missions.
• Requires a Missile Launcher, which is somewhat uncommon in the 2 by 2 meta that most CAS pilots take, with lasers, minis, or GAUs.
• Firing it outside of caves is a massive points waste as it's worth two Keeper IIs
• Still susceptible to Hivecore coverage.

Explain why it's good for the game

Once the fight moves into caves, CAS pilots have nothing to do unless the IOs have managed to not all get capped in the first 30 minutes. Even then they become a Fulton ferry which can be quite dull. This lets CAS pilots actually show up to LV operations. Additionally, it gives one of the more uncommon weapon types on CAS more reason to exist as it gives capability that the other, more popular weapons do not have.

Testing Photographs and Procedure

Tested via the following test cases:
Outside of Caves:
Keeper II: Fires successfully!
Paveway XXI: Fires successfully!

Inside of Caves:
Keeper II: Does not fire!
Paveway XXI: Fires successfully!

Inside of Caves, and under Hivecore:
Keeper II: Does not fire!
Paveway XXI: Does not fire!

Removed cavebreaker var, unused
Fixed internal name to align with detonate_on name

nevernevernever use spawn()
use a timer instead

So every single other weapon in this .dm functions with this code, I'm just duplicating preexisting code. Overhauling all of the CAS weapons seems beyond the scope of this PR.

spawn(5) replaced with sleep(5)

Removed spawn()

I don't think breaching the CAS barrier will be a good idea at this time. It's sort of "sacred" to a degree and a change like this would be a huge deal even if rare and expensive to do. I'm sorry you put so much time into it for it to end this way 😞
