For the beginning of my map, a unit has to come in via drop pod, i've been able to get the drop pod to drop via triggers, but i don't know how to make it spawn a unit or break down.
If you're doing this all through triggers you just need to create the units. Drop pods are their own unit. So you create that first then a few seconds later you create the unit with a slight offset compared to the drop pod since it might look off a little.
NOOOOO!!! EASY WAY- just add campagin dependencies. Then you will find a nifty trigger called "create drop pod". Its WAY easy. Just create 5 marines or so, then create a drop pod at the same point for "last created unit group".

I did not know of that. The way I heard it was from someone else. That seems way easier.
Thanks for the tip Zelda, was trying to do something similar for my own map, and the campaign trigger library had the perfect drop pod trigger in it :D

Can anyone help me with this?

- Create the drop pod model.
- Wait a little (I think it's 2.7 seconds for MULEs)
- Spawn the unit.
There's no offset. The drop pod lands exactly at the place where you tell it too.
ohh, so they don't come out? it's just creating two different units? well that makes everything much simpler.. Thanks guys.
