You're probably sick of hearing about it but is there no way to get a vehicle into a dropship? Tried a few things, e.g. PhysicalSize=1, Pip=, Carryall=yes, IsDropship=yes, but alas, nothing (yes, I have read through everything I could find on the forum). Anyone know? _________________

About using map triggers... Is there any way to make the user able to target the drop location? Maybe getting the drop location to follow a mobile target? Upon deploying it causes a dropship to appear and drop units at its current location?
This is giving me a headache
Also, would like to know, with regards to paradrops; is it possible to turn the default cursor for when a specific unit is selected into the force attack cursor? So if you try to make it move somewhere, it will attack the cell you click instead? _________________
concerning dropships
If you make them controllable by the player (Selectable=yes) you can indeed move them there where you want them. If they are already filled with units (via map triggers,e.g. as reinforcements) you can also unload the dropship where you want.
You just simply can't reload the units back into the dropship.

afaik no. they always search for the nearest free cell. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
Hrmm, interesting. So I know now how to do that BUT... how do you control where the dropship arrives on the map? You can make the dropship appear and be selectable, but you can't choose where it appears. This is rather important since I mean to use it in multiplayer as well as SP.
Script: When[event], create taskforce: DSHP + units, move taskforce to ?? (maybe a building, a beacon, anything placeable by the player), then when DSHP is deployed fly away again. _________________

Afaik, there's no way to make triggers like this on multiplayer maps. But locating an object on the map should be possible though, if it is not placed multiple times... _________________ I just registered for posting in the TO Forums and to prove its awesome-ness! QUICK_EDIT
I really don't think he'll appreciate that, seeing as he's not gay
look up "bugger" in a dictionary or online _________________ Yes, work on MV continues. It is not forgotten. QUICK_EDIT
gdi4a.map has the answer
there several dropships arrive, give the player units and they always enter the map from the same point/direction. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

The idea was it would make him code faster... :/

Sorry LKO, I think you're misinterpreting me, what I want is for a dropship to be called to a point that is definable during gameplay, ie having the user specifically being able to point out the landing location for the dropship.
You mean bug Hyper, right? If not then Hyper has some strange motivation techniques... _________________
sure. Just select the flying dropship and command it to fly to a different location. Then click again on it to unload the units. But this is only possible if you give the DSHP Selectable=yes or else you can't control it.
Then also make sure the dropship reinforcement trigger doesn't has the unload command and just let the dropship fly e.g. to the player conyard and land there. This way the player is free to command it to a different location and finally unload it where he wants
Though as a Superweapon which brings new units via Dropship is not possible.
But you can give the player the dropship bay and check via triggers if it is build. Then if it is build let the dropship reinforcements arrive in a certain time interval and let them land on or next to the dropship bay.
When they are unloaded let the dropships leave the map. Maybe even prevent that a new dropship arrives before the last one left the map, so the player can't abuse them as infantrytransporter. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
Well that works in singleplayer, but I don't know how it would work in multiplayer. I guess I may just have to resign myself to it not working in multi Had some great ideas too. _________________
If a topic appears, you all loose help from me, understand?
Urm, it might be possible to do this, because all the trigger is, is a spawn at cell/waypoint, thus adding this to normal aircraft behavior might work.
And no, im not trying it, busy busy i am lol. QUICK_EDIT
