I am already aware about how to make Terran Drop Pods appear at rallied points however, but however I have run into a slight issue. Terran drop pods are working just fine for merc units, but they aren't working for custom terran units. Any time I try to set the effect merc ground drop to a custom unit, there is a delay and the unit appears, but the drop pod does not appear at all and there is not any sounds of it dropping. I also wanted to know how to change the terran drop pods to look different. I looked under effects, but did not find any sort of link to any models. What I suspect is that there is an actor I am unaware of at the moment that is behind all this. Another question also is about these links:
Kelmorianmercs. The section where it says Info Charge link and Info Cooldown Link. What do these do and where do I find their sources? How do I create a link like these?
The actor you want is called Barracks Drop Pod. Else Merc Drop Model. You will see they are created by the Create Persistent effect applied by the Train ability.
Links allow the sharing of charges and cooldowns between abilities, weapons and behaviours. They are an arbitrary string used as an ID for identifying what needs to be shared. You also need to set the Location field to determine the extent of the sharing.
Okay. Here is the problem I am having though. Ever time, I try to set up Merc Drop Model for any unit besides the base campaign mercs, the drop pod just does not show up. There is a delay and the trained unit will come out at the rally point, but with no Drop Pod. Good new though is I did get this working with zerg drop pods and they seem to work universally. Where can I set what items can come by drop pod? There surely must be a reason its not appearing for any other unit except campaign base mercs.
Let me try again. I seldom duplicate anything, but rather copy from or parent items. Don't recall duplicating any from the effect tree. Maybe I just need to examine this further.
Okay so I finally found out what was causing this issue and nipped it in the butt.
Each Unit's actor which I am trying to have this drop pod model show up needs this simple event as seen in the picture. I did this and got all of units to drop in with this model properly. Others are bound to run into this issue soon or later, so hopefully this thread my help others in the future.

ModeratorsYou checking you are not duping the effect tree so that the events of the Merc Drop Model are not firing?
Items are units so could be trained to come by drop pod.
