para tanks - impossible or not?

[Guest Dan]

can sum1 just clear this up for me? everyone says to make tanks paradrop is either or impossible or the outcome looks weird. yet in one of the soviet missions in the original redalert2 (the one with the world trade centers) u clearly see allied tanks being paradropped, how did that happen???

Only done by map triggers. There's a tutorial at the Editing Source.

ahhh right so u cant have them as like a build option like normal paradrops then?

[Guest Spydr331]

so there is no way to make like a buidable building that you can put units in and then whn you wantthem to come out you can paradrop them somewhee?

 

like a bunker that accepts any ground unit like a hover transport would that would cause those units to be in a paradrop to b dropped off on any part of the board...

 

can that be made or made with triggers?

Err, probably not able to be done. That seems more comples than FA2/RA2 would like.

[Guest Dan]

you just gave me an interesting idea. can u make a building that can hold tanks like a hover transport, i just had sum stupidly high armoured bunker building that can keep sum of ur troops and vehicles safe until u let them out again floating around my head lol

[Guest Spydr331]

my brain is filled with interesting inspiring worthless crap!

There's a problem Dan. Structures cannont hold vehicles. They won't go in or they will just attack it. I doubt your idea would work.

[Guest Dan]

oh well, like i said it was just an idea, doubt id use it in my mod cos i dnt really have a place for it, im tryin to cut bak on all the useless gimmicks ive added lol a good mod shouldnt be about adding loads and loads of stuff, its about adding sumthin effectively for a reason, sumthin new to the game that didnt exist b4

Well, a long time ago I remember a chopper that could be loaded up with different infantry units. Then you could have it paradrop those units at any point on the map. The only problem with this was some bug loop. Basically after so many uses it wouldn't do this no more. Might have been deezire back in the days. Never seen or heard this used for tanks.

ok... look... it is impossible to put sometime into a tank then paradrop it somewhere on the map... the unit or infantry won't enter the building... even if there is like a paradrop plane, it won't happen.. the building will stops the unit or infantry from entering the building... there is a method where you make a paradrop plane/carryall, and a dummy weapon... it will paradrop whenever it attacks... paradropping tanks won't be a problem, but paradropping infantry... you might need to edit it a lot... fenring should know this paradrop plane... but i don't think it is possible to put infantry or units into a building then paradrop it...
