Hello everyone,
I am currently very close to finishing my very first Starcraft custom map :)

However, it involves adding drop pods for Zerg and Terran.
I cant seem to get the drop pods working
I'm not sure if i have to use the data editor or the trigger editor, but with the trigger editor i can get a drop pod to land but without a unit inside it.
What i am trying to do is that when a unit is selected from the command card of the building, you get to point and choose where the drop pod will land.
do i need to make a new ability for this? if so please give me very specific details as i have not played around with that tool at all.

Thanks in advance :)

Duplicate the Orbital Command: Calldown MULE abillity.
Change Name, Spawn Unit, Remove the Timed Life (done in effects).
and voila you got the terran version of drop pods.
(also remove energy and add cost example).

To make zerg, just change the MULE drop pod model to the Zerg Campaign drop pod model.
