How to add bot drops/cinematics to your map
By Bisen11
In this tutuorial I’ll show you how to make non-stop dropping, drops that trigger when you enter a zone, and beacon drops.
First you’ll want to make the bots your gonna drop and what’s going to drop it. So first go to Object>Soldier>Soldier Presets>GDI Click on CnC_GDI_Minigunner_0 and hit temp
Give the soldier the name GDI_Minigunner_Custom . You can customize the bot however you want just remember to check the box under settings called “UseInnateBehavior” I also suggest putting the “Weapon Rounds” to –1 so your bot has unlimited ammo. After your done hit ok.
Next you will want your script.

Notice how at the bottom few “Create_Real_Object” spots I put the bot we just made as the preset line. Copy the above script and into a .txt file in your mod folder and name it GDI_Troop_Drop .
Next go down to Object>Simple>Dave’s Arrow . Click on Daves arrow and hit Temp. You can name this whatever you want. Go over to the scripts tab. Hit add and scroll down to Test_Cinematic. It will ask you for the control file name and put it as GDI_Troop_Drop.txt .
Then go to Object>Spawner. Click on Spawner and hit Temp. Name it what you want then go to settings and hit pick presets. Find your dave’s arrow and double click it to make it the object of the spawner. Make the spawner however you want. Then just place the spawner wherever you want on the map. I suggest putting it a little below ground other wise people will see the arrow when the drop comes.
How to make the drop activate when someone enters a zone
Follow ALL of the above step EXCEPT under the Spawner settings Check the box that says “StartsDisabled”
Place the spawner on your map and copy down the ID.
Next make a script zone where you want it to activate the drop when a person enters it Object>Script zone>Script zone all. Size the zone however you want it then double click it. Go to the tab Scripts. Hit add and pick GTH_Enable_Spawner_On_Enter For the ID use the one you got from the dave’s arrow. Keep the player type at 2, Change enable to 3 (so that any team can walk through it and activate it).
And that’s all you do for drops that are on there own.
Next I’ll explain how you make Beacons that drop. Follow the above steps except STOP once you have made your GDI_Troop_drop.txt file. Go to Object>Cinematic and click on Cinematic and hit TEMP . Name it what you want (I named mine Beacon_Drop). Go over to scripts and and add Test_Cinematic. Like before, put the control file name as GDI_Troop_drop.txt . Hit ok and next go to Beacon>Ion Cannon . Click on CnC_Beacons_IonCannon and hit Temp (you can do the nuke if you want). Name the beacon what you want. Go under the settings tab. I suggest changing the different Detonate times so it doesn’t take so long for the reinforcements to come. Go all the way down and change the Pre_Detonate Cinematic Obj to the one you just made. And change the two things below it to none.
Next you’re gonna have to change it into Ammo, then a weapon, and then if you want, a powerup.
So go to Munitions>Ammo>Ammo_infintry_weapons . Click on CNC_Ammo_Ioncannonbeacon_player and hit temp. Go to the settings tab and scroll down to Beacon Object. Pick the new beacon you just made. I also suggest changing the FireSoundDefID , this tells it what to say when you set the beacon.
You’ll essentially do the same thing for Munitions>weapon except the thing you need to change is the PrimaryAmmoDefID and the SecondaryAmmoDefID to the ammo you just made. Now that you have made it into a weapon you’re at the stage where you can give the beacon to any soldier you make. If you want to make it into a powerup that you can pick up then you still have two more steps. Go under Object>Powerup>Soldier Powerups>Weapon Powerups . Click on Cnc_Pow_IonCannonBeacon_Player and hit temp. Name it what you want. Go under settings and scroll down to GrantWeaponID and change it to the weapon you just made. Hit ok and all you have to do after that is change it into a spawner. Add it to your map and have fun.
Since dropping 3 people from a chopper probably isn’t the only thing you want to do, I’ll post 2 additional scripts you can use.
This will drop 3 troops from a c130 plane. Just change where I put INSERT SOLDIER HERE to the new soldier preset you made.

This one will drop a Vehicle. Suggest making a new preset for the chopper as well and giving it a Blamo Sheild. I’ll put INSERT CHOPPER HERE for the chopper preset and INSERT TANK HERE for the tank preset.
