Dropping

Flag:	Dropping
File(s):	rules(md).ini
Values:	Boolean values: yes or no, true or false, 1 or 0
Default:	no
Applicable to:	Projectiles

Specifies whether or not this projectile falls from an initial height, like a bomb dropped from an airplane.

In Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2, and their expansion packs, setting this flag causes the projectile to detonate immediately upon being fired.

Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations

Through this flag-triggered barrel explosion, the firing coordinates will be forcibly reset to 0,0,0. If you wish to avoid this feature, you can achieve similar effects through the following two methods:

1. Use a projectile with Vertical=yes and set [Projectile]→DetonationAltitude=0.
2. Use a projectile with Ranged=yes and set [Weapon]→ProjectileRange=0.
