Creating a Lightning Storm as a Vehicle Weapon

[chaptmc 0]

I have been having a problem when applying LightningStormSpecial as a vehicle's Primary Weapon. Whenever I click to build the unit, Yuri's Revenge has an internal error. Is there any way to create a weapon for a vehicle that will do create a Lightning Storm when the vehicle attacks w/o it having an interal error?

I tryed the info from the other site and it still didnt work. This time, it caused my Floating disc equipped with the weapon to be created and move, but it couldnt attack.

Can this weapon even be applied to an air unit? I gave the dunnyunit they recommended the weapon as well, so I dunno whats wrong.

 

Is it this code, because I dunno what to put in for the blanks in the code?

 

[WeatherStrikeWH]
CellSpread=
PercentAtMax=
Verses=
AnimList=WEATHER2
InfDeath=5

You make up what goes there. >_>;

Well, I found out why it wouldnt even attack. TibEd somehow deleted some of those scripts, so I had to put them back in again. Still one problem. After trying it again, all this does is the damage. It doesnt display the Lightning Storm. Would anybody know why this may be happening? At least the Floating Disc gets knocked out of the sky after the attack, which is what I wanted,but it wont display the lightning Storm.

Got it working. I wish that that site would have said to use WCCLOUD1 and WCLBOLT1 instead of WEATHER1 and WEATHER2(WEATHER1 and WEATHER2 dont exist as animations, which is where I screwed up and misunderstood). May not display the clouds, but it shoots Lighting down randomly, and then it crashes if hit by the lightning(Which happens 9 times out of 10). Still worthwhile. Thanks for that site though.

Maybe AG should have mentioned that you need to make up [WEATHER1] and [WEATHER2] yourself.

I'd imagine your unit would always die while using this attack if you set suicide=yes to the weapon.

Thanks for that information. It would be better if it crashed every time, rather than 9 times out of 10.

Just a little information from testing. If you want to add thunder and lightning sound to the Weapon WeatherStrike, make a copy of the Sound Weatherstrike, and name the copy something else(It doesnt matter what you name it, as long as the copy of it doesnt have WeatherStrike in it). For some reason, when I used the WeatherStrike Sound (Report=WeatherStrike) on the WeatherStrike Weapon, it turned the WeatherStrike Weapon into Grizzly Tank Shots for some odd reason .

 

Also, I wanted to test the Disc with it immune to damage for one game. I can't believe how more realistic the lightning is from the WeatherStrike Attack than the actual WeatherControlSpecial. From time to time after striking it's target, it randomly strikes elsewhere. The attack is actually wild and actually can miss its target and hit something else. I was attacking an enemy with this, and was attacking a building. It didnt hit any buildings. The attack went straight down an opening, killing all the infantry there. Very satisfied with the results of this and thank you Doctor Destiny and Nmenth for helping me with this.
