i used the dz tutorial to make a third para drop and it wouldn't work then i IM'ed a few people like fenring and kravvitz and they could figure out why this paradrop wouldn't work so now i need help from the boards

[Kravvitz]

yeah the code looks like the working code that I use.

*shakes head in bewilderment*

[doorag]

does anybody know what i did wrong

[doorag]

theres gotta be something i did wrong but what is it this thing is driving me nuts

[Kravvitz]

I'm still trying to figure it out myself...maybe SpySat=yes in the NAPSIS is causing the problem

[doorag]

nope that didn't fix it

[Psycho]

If u try to change the name "NewParadropSpecial" to "Paradrop2Special" ....... I know its not a solution but try it

[doorag]

that didn't do it either

[Psycho]

In dz's rule i saw dz added SuperWeapon2=NewParadropSpecial to [GADUMMY] which is a placeholder. Special SW (eg. ChronoWarpSpecial) needs placeholder

it just has to be on a building....how can you put it on a building that you can't build?
