###Script Setup

First make sure MIST is loaded, either as an Initialization Script for the mission or the first DO SCRIPT with a time more of 1. Time More means run this actions after X seconds into the mission.

You can also preload troops into AI transports once the CTLD script has been loaded, instead of having the AI enter a pickup zone, using the code below where the parameters are:
* Pilot name of the unit
* number of troops / vehicles to load
* true means load with troops, false means load with vehicles
If you try to load vehicles into anything other than a unit listed in ```ctld.vehicleTransportEnabled```, they won't be able to deploy them.
```lua
function ctld.preLoadTransport("helicargo1", 10,true)
ctld.preLoadTransport("helicargo1", 10,true)

You can also make existing mission editor groups extractable by adding their group name to the ```ctld.extractableGroups``` list

Logistic crates can also be spawned by Player controlled Transport Helicopters as long as there are near a friendly logistic unit listed in ```ctld.logisticUnits```.

##Troop Loading and Unloading
Troops can be loaded and unloaded using the F10 Menu. Troops can only be loaded in a pickup zone but can be dropped anywhere you like. Troops dropped by transports can also be extracted by any transport unit using the radio menu as long as you are close enough.

AI transports will display a message when they Auto load and deploy troops in the field. AI units won't pickup already deployed troops so as not to intefere with players.

The C130 gets an extra radio option for loading and deploying vehicles. By default the C130 can pickup and deploy a HMMWV TOW and HMMWV MG. This can be changed by editing ```ctld.vehiclesForTransport``` .
##Cargo Spawning and Sling Loading
Cargo can be spawned by transport helicopters if they are close enough to a friendly logistics unit using the F10 menu. Everything except the HAWK AA Missile system requires only one crate to build. Crates are always spawned off the nose of the unit that requested them. Sling cargo weight differs drastically depending on what you are sling loading. The Huey will need to have 20% fuel and no armamemnts in able to life a HMMWV TOW crate! The Mi-8 has a higher max lifting weight than a Huey.

Once spawning the crate, to slingload the F6 menu needs to be used to select a cargo of the correct weight. If you've selected the right cargo RED smoke will appear and you can now sling load by hovering over the crate at a height of 15-30 feet or so.

**Note: Once unpacked a crate will not disappear from the field or the F6 Menu but will disappear from the F10 Nearby Crates list. There is currently no way to remove crates due to a DCS Bug AFAIK. This can make picking the right crate tricky but by using the F10 List crates option, you can keep readjusting you position until you are close to the crate you want and then it's trial an error using the F6 menu to pick the right crate for sling loading. **
