I already knew about the drop-pod style war factory, but what I meant was a true TD style Airstrip :sad2: e.g. the cargo plane swoops down over the airstrip (now possible thanks to the non-VTOL style aircraft) and the unit appears either on or next-to the airstrip :xcahik_:

Well in all honesty - I do believe that there was a line some where that dictated the origin from the units came out. Based what I can see from this - its just a new location coming out. The rest is just graphics. I mean the idea is kewl - needs better building graphics but I'm not hearing the coding possibilities!?

ok, make your version of my chronobay building using only original YR.
You will fail.

DropPodBay and ParaDropBay bay don't support exit path and AI in NPSE.
ChronoBay support AI and exit path.

In ParaDropBay units dropped near building.

In ParaDropBay units dropped near building.

Does the para plane fly over and parachute the units down or does the plane swoop in like TD?

Not a superweapon - just a tag line for a structure. But for YR What you see there is a structure - a gradient blue base image with a chrono animation as the unit production animation. Or atleast thats all I make out of this. Thats a quite simple way to do it in YR.

Now, with that tag line to drop off the units - does that include a hard coded chrono animation? as are they tied together? or does it just pop in the units?

Now I just thought - remember how the dropship landed units? if you increased the speed of the plane and gave it a very short dropoff time - you can simulate a TD Airstrip. It'd still be choppy but now you can take that existing code - if it still is in YR if not then manipulate it from TS.

I think the animation can be used to do that though you'd you need to change the blue square thing to a pad or something

I am sure the blue square is just a placeholder! But hell a modified repairpad should suffice. Make it all spiffy looking.

A side note - you'd be surprised to find out how much TS and FS code is still in RA2 - they did mess up some of it in YR to make room but it's still repairable and top it off - you can port it with some creativity. Sometimes it's as simple as a rules copy and paste.

There is no FS code in RA2/YR :) The RA2/YR engine was based on TS code, not FS code.

No Firestorm at all? Must just used dormant TS code then.

Then how come talk bubble works in it? I'd say the code base either split very early or talk bubble was added to both but the feature never used in RA2.

blue square is building image.

This features (Chrono, Drop and ParaDrop bays) isn't related with any SW at all.

it possible if i try to make the factory working as popup exit like c&c3 by this logic?

When it will be released you will test it.

Of course it is - but it's a crappy image so I figured it was a place holder image for the building.
