If i use string in mapscripts.rul like:
Code: [Select]

Thanks.

No, I implemented only option 1 from here: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,4444.msg66265.html#msg66265

Option 2 not.

EDIT: also option 2 was implemented in the meantime.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you want that when a Skyranger (as an example) is sent on a mission, the mapScript would deploy instead an APC (as an example), but if a Lightning or an Avenger is sent instead, then the mapScript places those craft.

If the above is correct, then the answer is no, it's not possible with the regular OXC :)

"craftName" is also not available in OXC, so I assumed he is using OXCE+

...which fork are you using Nord?

Maybe describe your idea a bit more... if I find it worth my time, I will implement that feature for you... :)

Just TFTD craft, which drop a bathyscaphe on subsea missions and lands on terrors.

I'm sure that makes sense to you... but I am a bit lost to be honest.
I would expect a bit more than just one sentence to describe your idea.

Start with a general concept, then go more into detail, and then mention at least one or two examples...
And don't assume I know anything what's only in your head :)

PS: maybe also look at the link I provided earlier and tell us if the second proposed solution from Solarius would solve your issue, or if it is something completely else

Ok. Sorry for bad english.
My idea was to add pre-triton craft, because no flying subs exist, and all projects of them are mostly fiction. So they must be invented in future, maybe after first analysis of alien USO's. But we need something, what could deliver our units on the battlefield. What we can use for it now - bathyscaphe or small submarine, carried by flying boat or by helicopter.
I created bathyscaphe mapblock, etc, but suddenly thinked about terror missions. Fly to them on helicopter and then deploy a bathyscaphe on port site looks... well, stupid.
And yes, second option of Solarius will work.

Or, instead of this, it is possible to create just deployment site, like square on the ground, where units will just "jump down from a board of boat". Will work fine, but not so pretty looking as bathyscaphe. And what is important, will work without OXCE, what means will work on android.
