I'm working on trying to code a new "IceMan" missle that would freeze all units when detonated. In fact, the buildings would switch to the "winter" models and maybe some snow effects, but only in the area of the blast. This was an idea after watching "The Day After Tomorrow". Vehicles and infantry would be frozen and destroyed. It would sorta act like the EMP Pulse, but switching to model skins to winter and killing all units (not buildings).

Any suggestions?

I like the idea. Maybe make him a russian general named "nuclear winter"

Now that is a cool Idea
(no pun intended)


When Your done, make a avi mini clip,
screenshots would not do that justace.

for vehicles no need to make the skins change you can just make the EMP effect for them like snow or icedust like and make sure they can thaw out eventually :P

It's going to instantly destoy them, but.......
Hey how about it only kill infantry and vehicle Pilots.
In the film the vehicles would have been salvigble.

[LtZack]

yes that is true, the crew freeze to death

[DJRowley]

I would have said that that wasn't possible but then I had a cunning plan...

If you look in the Avenger target designator weapon, it uses a damage type which changes the state of the unit. Maybe you could use it change the unit to SNOW condition state? Might work...

If you are serious about doing this, then some new infantry death effects would be very nice

Or you can make it have abig flash when it hits and every thing is snowing but the targets are frozen.

[LtZack]

a big flash is boring, need more particle effects than that......

how about a white sphere effect, similar to the EMP blast?
