I would like to replicate the Grav Lift thing in a50 where troops get dropped off to the surface.
I would also like to know how to make dropships that can deploy infantry.

Why not just look at A50's grav lift and any dropships tags if that's what you want to do? I'm all for helping others who can't figure out how something works, but it sounds like you haven't even tried.

Here's a little help.

Troops who were deployed in a50 from the grav lift used an animation for their descent.
You can circumvent this by turning off AI fall damages and just dropping them from the top.

Masterz,I'm not the one who actually wants to know.
I'm asking for someone else.It would take a lot less time to ask someone than to study a scenario file for who knows how long

Custom animation tutorial, can help you with your dropship dillema:

The only thing you would have to do is spawn an encounter, place them in the dropship, then use the custom animation command, and then sleep until needed, and then make them exit.

How do you make them exit?
I don't any scripts that could do that and I have no idea how this works.
(vehicle_unload <unit> <string>)

<unit> is the vehicle's unit, <string> is the seat. Use "" to unload all seats.

What about the magic load thing?
(vehicle_load_magic <unit> <string> <object_list>)

<unit> is the vehicle, <string> is the seat (or ""), <object_list> is the units that get in the vehicle. The object list can be named units or an AI encounter.

I've tried it before but Sapien keeps telling me that (name here) is not a valid object list.

Well, what were you giving it? An AI Encounter?

Yes,I did.

Try this.
(ai_go_to_vehicle <ai> <unit> <string>)
Where <ai> is the encounter, <unit> is the vehicle, and <string> is the seat (or "").

Nope.I thought I only needed to specify the encounter and/or squad name.

you need (ai_actors <ai>) to convert an encounter and/or squad into a object_list. Encounters themselves aren't object_lists.

Sorry,ran out of pastry materials.No cookies for you,even if it works.
