[Sleipnir]

I've written a tutorial on how to make a superweapon that has a random effect - eg, it will randomly choose one of several attacks to use on an area. I've written it up as a third level satellite hack for the Infantry general's Internet center, allowing the hackers to hack into the targeting systems of off-map weapons and target them wherever you select.
It covers everything from modifying the internet center to use it, to the superweapon itself and everything associated with it - sounds, radial cursors, and the attacks themselves.

It's a bit(!) long to post here, you can read it Here.

Very nice! And using the BuildVariations thing, I wouldn't have come up with that, very creative!

Now it would be even better if you could hack one of the enemy's actual super weapons (one they have built in-game). So you fire it against themselves, but it only has a certain chance of happening. Think of it this way: there are loads of superweapon-firing utilities around the area around where the map is, but you'd only see a small portion of them in-game (the one the players build), the rest of them is further away off-map. This hack works on a random superweapon in that larger area, so there might just be that small chance it hacks one of the superweapons your opponent built! I only happens though if his weapon is actually charged, and there's still only a small chance it will actually hack that one. But if it DOES pick that one, he loses the weapon for a while because it needs to recharge after YOU fire it! Get the idea?
