While practicing on my INI fiddling, I thought of a cool idea. To replace the carpet bomb Super for the AirForce General. I had an idea inspired by ID4. I am trying to get the super to have the B3(stealthed eventually ^_^) fly in, and about a range of 1000 launch a Tomahawk(It looks cool enough for the purposes)

The Tomahawk streaks in(I purposely increased the speed a good deal) and upon aprroaching the target area airburst(I fiddled with the explode height and dive logic)

Unfortunatly, like I said I'm not good at all with INI coding yet and it's isnt working properly. More then likely I am missing something's in the INI's.

Before I post the code. Let me give you all a quick run down of what I was trying to do. All of the cameo's and animations etc are running off existing things already in ZH. The B3 comes in, launches the tomahawk from a range of 1000.(Fire range= 1000) Tomahawk reaches target, detonates the MOAB detonation and MOAB Gas/flame weapon.

okay..here comes the code.

What's ID4? :rockbrow:

[4hammer]

if you want to know how to give it stealth so just give the B3 the stealth module tag (found in the stealth fighter code and immoman guide)

this code works fine i tested it
if it aint working check the rest of ure code this was the hard part to get it working so shouldnt be 2 hard

In the movie the US decided to use nucler weapons against the alien ships . They are deployed from Stealth B2 bombers. The Plane lines up dumps the missle and skeedadles while the Nuke cruises into and then BOOOM!!


Thanks for the code help pieten Right now though, I am still having trouble actually coding the super weapon, I am still very much baffled by the various INI's. I wish there was a SunEdit2k for Generals/ZH ^_^

Oh well 1 thing finished at a time

Now lets see if I can get the superweapon coding down so i can get the Bomber to appear and deploy the tomahwak.

[Cyborg]

You know,you have a point about that with SunEdit2K! :/ Why did it stop!? Why didn't they make a similar editor fore Red Alert 2 and Generals!? :/ Red Edit 98 and Sun Edit2K was really great!

[mastermind2003]

TibEdit is going to be for Generals, but I'm not sure how far along Koen is on that project.

[Cpl_Facehugger]

Not very. As of a month ago, you couldn't add units. (Although it was compatible with zero hour.) Plus, it might have been updated between now and christmas.

[Razyd]

Do you have a link to their site?

Simple, huh?
