` the effect doesn't play when the airdrop lands`
Because you run it only when Y is 0. If drop landed it doesnt means Y is zero

Is there a way to define when the airdrop touches ground?

You can check that in SupplyDrop class

So i could use something like if drop.isLootable. But i still am struggling on how to check this. As right now it checks as sson as it drops and obviously that won't work. How do i make it check until it reaches ground?

There's a hook that goes off when it lands, OnSupplyDropLanded.

Looks like any collision with the SupplyDrop can call that hook.

You might need to attach a component to it that watches for its velocity to reach 0.

Zugzwang

I think you would have to to make your own. 

Look at HotAirBalloon.UpdateIsGrounded() for an example of checking for the ground.

i dont understand how to inspect it. i cant see what the function is doing.

Zugzwang

You have to point a decompiler at it to see what's happening on the inside.

do you have any recomendations on a good one?
