Supply Drop crates land on dropped items instead of reaching the floor

Summary

Supply Drop crates can stop falling when they encounter dropped items in the world. Instead of continuing down to the floor, the crate appears to treat the loose pickup as a landing surface and remains elevated above the ground.

This causes problems when supply drops repeatedly spawn in the same location. Items left beneath the drop can obstruct the next crate, preventing it from reaching its intended landing position.

Steps to Reproduce

1 Place a Supply Drop Spawner above a flat, solid floor.
2 Configure it to spawn directly above a fixed location.
Start a play session.
3 Drop an inventory item onto the floor beneath the supply drop’s intended landing position.
4 Trigger the Supply Drop Spawner.
5 Observe the crate as it descends toward the dropped item.
6 Repeat with the landing area clear to compare the behavior.

Expected Result

The crate should reach the floor beneath it. Loose inventory pickups should not act as solid platforms that support the crate or prevent it from completing its descent.
The crate should land consistently at the intended location, even when loose items are already present there.

Observed Result

The crate stops on top of dropped items instead of reaching the floor. It remains elevated above the intended landing position, appearing to rest on the pickups.
