Droppod

Makes an infantry-only TeamType arrive by drop pod.

Case-sensitive spelling

INI keys distinguish uppercase and lowercase letters. DropPod is a different setting.

Specification

Applies to: TeamType
File: ai.ini or map file
Section: [<ObjectType ID>]
Value: boolean
When omitted: no

Droppod=yes makes a reinforcement team of infantry arrive by drop pod, landing near its waypoint instead of arriving the ordinary way. Drop pods describes where each member lands and what can destroy it on landing.

[MyDropTeam] ; example TeamType
Droppod=yes
TaskForce=MyInfantryTaskForce ; defined under [TaskForces]

The pods are used only under all of:

the team is delivered by the Reinforcement (team) or Reinforcement (team) at waypoint trigger action;
every member of the team’s TaskForce is an InfantryType.

Teams the AI creates and fills by recruiting never arrive by pod.

The [AudioVisual] animation list is a different key, spelled DropPod with an uppercase second P.
