Well as the title says, Dropship Spawn Method i simply just do not know how to do it.
What i'm trying to do:
Players have a Protoss Shuttle, When Unit Drops Out It Takes Away Cash Then Spawns a Unit at the Spawn Zone
Can someone lend me a hand? :dontgetit:

When you think about it its very logical:

Always Center a location 'drop' on the dropship that covers ground only.

Detection Trigger:
Conditions:
Current Player brings a least 1 Marine to 'drop'
Current Player has gathered at least 100 Minerals
Actions:
Execute ai script 'Enter closest dropship' at 'drop'
Create 1 Jim Raynor for Current Player at 'spawn'
Subtract 100 Minerals for Current Player
Preserve

Make a similar trigger when he has not enough minerals which doesn't subtract minerals and doesnt spawn a jim raynor.

This works best with hypertriggers.
To make it more reliable always order the dropship to 'drop' (no need to recenter 'drop' in this case) and surround the drop zone with unwalkable terrain.

It also helps for the trigger only to execute if a switch/death counter is cleared, and set it after executing the ai script (because the trigger can sometimes fire multiple times from my experience). Then have a separate trigger that clears the switch if the player brings 0 units to the drop location.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
