Terran Dropship Trigger help

[g9gg999]

Greeting, I'm trying to make a spell based off the one Abriko used in his Acathla map. I do have a basic knowledge of Triggers but I have been trying to get this thing to work forever. So far no luck. What I need to do is:

1 A unit casts an ability called "call in back up"
2 when casted, a dropship should spawn onto the map, land near the unit, and deploy a certain number of troops.
3 the dropship should then lift off and fly off the map.

The model I'm using is Abriko's Dropship, and yes I have made a spell called "dropship (land)" based off of crow form for the dropship. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you ahead of time.

(I want to do all of this with Triggers because I don't know or understand Jass scripting stuff)

Well the model doesnt matter. As for your problem. I think that you may use a unit that floats and you wont need any crow form ability. Also about the trigger. Make a space in which wont be able to be seen by player 1 (use Camera bounds). After that Every time the unit casts the ability, create the ship that must also have the Load unload(zeppelin ability) and the units in this space, load them all and then order to unload them in the target point

Wow, I'm in grade 12, and I feel stupid. It's awesome that you were able to write that for me PvSvN, but I can't figure out how to do it in the editor. I found some of those triggers, but I'm fuzzy on others. I'm too busy with school right now to figure it out myself, so could you do me a huge favor and attach something that could help me figure it out easier? Please, I really need to finish this spell! I would greatly appreciate it!

[Arnadath]

PvSvN better use the [ TRIGGER ] ... [ / TRIGGER ] tags
