Hi Guys, I'm not sure what went wrong, but my paradrop special (both from the tech airport and american paradrop special) doesnt work. The icons are there in game and can be pressed, as well as you can select where to drop the paratroopers. The planes however, never arrive. They don't arrive at all, but the paradrop special refreshes normally. I attached a notepad file with all paradrop related entries. Hoping for your help.

The only thing I edited related to paradrop are the units it drops.

Odd. I can't find anything. Someone should re-chk just in-case.

Try setting Sight= to 5 or some other value higher than 1, but no higher than 11.
(This'll show whether or not the planes even spawn in the first place, and were always shot down)

So I tried it out and still, no success. I tried it out on different maps too, the planes just wouldnt appear on the map. Could the problem be related to any FA2 ini file or any map settings? The only thing I configured yesterday was placing the ini file of FA2 for TX2.02a.

From my post here or ModDB, I hope #Tongue

But no, it's not related to FA2, AFAIK. The only things FA2 can screw up are triggers and terrain, although that's only if TX's FA2 inis were used without fixing ActionRA2.11 or having expand(md)06.mix in the game's folder.

From here, actually! So I guess, I'm out of luck and I probably should try working with a new install. Thanks for the quick answer!

Quick answer? Nah, you just happen to be lucky I'm online. #Tongue

But it's not necessarily an EXE issue, unless it wasn't working before. And, like I said, there could be something I missed.
Either way, I recommend going for XWIS' version if you want a new install. Mind you, it's just the EXEs you want.
You do NOT want it to overwrite the MIXs. Trust me. You won't have any music, cutscenes or campaign mission afterwards.

Does PILOT actually exist?

Pilot= exists, but serves no purpose.

PParatrooper= on the other hand does not exist. Paratrooper= exists, though, but it also serves no purpose.

Under what [Section] are the AmerParaDropInf... lines?

Well, I did another recheck. As I was reviewing the rules for paradrop, i remembered using Ares Logic in some of my rules. Since it was a fresh install, I did not install Ares yet. Proceeded to download and use Ares and viola, it worked. Somewhere in rules, it probably uses Ares logic which probably messed with paradrop.

Figured you had Ares considering your PDPLANE had CrashSpin=, which is an Ares tag...

You used custom Actions and that's how YR reacts on them, so yeah, that tends to happen.
