[AudioVisual]AtmosphereEntry=MYPODRING ; an AnimType registered in [Animations]Each drop pod creates this animation once, at the start of its fall. It appears at the high point where the fall begins, on the frame the passenger is placed there, and plays as many times as its animation type’s LoopCount sets. Approach selection covers where that point lies for each of the four approaches. No other part of the game uses the animation.
If the passenger cannot be placed at the start point, the engine tries once more and creates no animation on the second try. A pod placed on that retry falls without the animation.
