How to load airtransports?

[AprilForever]

Hi all!

I am trying to figure out how to load air transports. I am making a mod, based off of WaW 1940, and, I cannot seem to figure out how to load them. I also tried in another map, WW2 1941 v3, but I still couldn't figure it out. Here is my code:

</attachment>
    <attachment name="unitAttachment" attachTo="Paratrooper" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.UnitAttachment" type="unitType">
        <option name="movement" value="1"/>
        <option name="attack" value="2"/>
        <option name="defense" value="2"/>
        <option name="transportCost" value="2"/>
        <option name="isAirTransportable" value="true"/>
    </attachment>
    <attachment name="unitAttachment" attachTo="AirTransport" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.UnitAttachment" type="unitType">
        <option name="movement" value="4"/>
        <option name="attack" value="1"/>
        <option name="defense" value="0"/>
        <option name="transportCapacity" value="2"/>
        <option name="isAir" value="true"/>
        <option name="isAirTransport" value="true"/>

Anyways, did I mess the code up? I am new to TripleA modding, but I used to mod Rome Total War all the time back in the 2000's...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, tried the search bar, tried google, nothing useful... Thanks!

Hi @AprilForever

Make sure you have the "paratroopers" tech turned on for each player in "techAttachment".

<attachment name="techAttachment" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TechAttachment" type="player">
<option name="techCost" value="5"/>
<option name="superSub" value="false"/>
<option name="jetPower" value="false"/>
<option name="shipyards" value="false"/>
<option name="aARadar" value="false"/>
<option name="longRangeAir" value="false"/>
<option name="heavyBomber" value="false"/>
<option name="improvedArtillerySupport" value="false"/>
<option name="rocket" value="false"/>
<option name="paratroopers" value="false"/>
<option name="increasedFactoryProduction" value="false"/>
<option name="warBonds" value="false"/>
<option name="mechanizedInfantry" value="false"/>

@AprilForever The other thing you want to look at depending how you want to deal with things is looking in your properties... and playing around with these two settings...

<property name="Paratroopers Can Move During Non Combat" value="true" editable="true">
  <boolean/>
</property>
<property name="Paratroopers Can Attack Deep Into Enemy Territory" value="false" editable="true">
  <boolean/>
</property>
