 To change what units can be dropped from crates modify the spawnable crates section. An extra parameter, ```cratesRequired = NUMBER``` can be added so you need more than one crate to build a unit. This parameter cannot be used for the HAWK, BUK or KUB system as that is already broken into 3 crates. You can also specify the coalition side so RED and BLUE have different crates to drop. If the parameter is missing the crate will appear for both sides.

-#### Create Extract Zone
+#### Create / Remove Extract Zone
 An extact zone is a zone where troops (not vehicles) can be dropped by transports and used to trigger another action based on the number of troops dropped. The radius of the zone sets how big the extract zone will be.
 
 When troops are dropped, the troops disappear and the number of troops dropped added to the flag number configured by the function. This means you can make a trigger such that 10 troops have to be rescued and dropped at the extract zone, and when this happens you can trigger another action.

-You can also change the name of a unit (unit, not group) to include "hpriority" to make it high priority for the JTAC, or "priority" to set it to be medium priority. JTAC's will prioritize targets within view by first marking hpriority targets, then priority targets, and finally all others. This works seemlessly with the all/vehicle/troop functionality as well. In this way you can have them lase SAMS, then AAA, then armor, or any other order you decide is preferable.

 ### Pickup and Dropoff Zones Setup
 Pickup zones are used by transport aircraft and helicopters to load troops and vehicles. A transport unit must be inside of the radius of the trigger and the right side (RED or BLUE or BOTH) in order to load troops and vehicles.

 ### Real Sling Loading
 
 This uses the inbuilt DCS Sling cargo system and crates. Sling cargo weight differs drastically depending on what you are sling loading. The Huey will need to have 20% fuel and no armaments in order to be able to lift a HMMWV TOW crate! The Mi-8 has a higher max lifting weight than a Huey.
