You can also just constantly move it there, but IMO that sometimes looks slightly unprofessional(slightly) so what I like to do is have a location around the area the unit should be in, that is larger than it, and then if the unit isn't in the smaller location, but is in the bigger one, I deselect the unit by giving it to another player then back, then I order it back, I usually also add another "just in case" location that simply moves them back if they somehow manage to get past the second location.

The most efficient way is probably a system that uses a single inverted location the exact size of the dropship. If the dropship even moves a single pixel, a trigger would instantly move it back.

NudeRaider -- Symmetry
Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier

NudeRaider shouted: Symmetry I can't tell if it's relevant. You provided literally no context so I was providing an equally generic answer.
