How do I create a combo effect when a nuclear missile explodes it will also cause a EMP blast that will disable nearby buildings and vehicles? Not only will the nuclear blast do damage, but the EMP will disable anything that did not get destroyed.

Any help with this?

Wow someone wants to make the nuke realistic. I with I could help.

Try adding this module to the Nuclear Missile's code:

  Behavior = CreateObjectDie ModuleTag_GiveMeAName
    CreationList = OCL_EMPPulseEffectSpheroids
  End

Thanks, CommieDog ... that worked like a charm!

Thats not realistic... A nuclear weapon detonating on ground level does not cause an EMP.

Indeed. Has nobody seen GoldenEye?

And making the nuke realistic would involve everything on the map being obliterated when it detonates (hence you would lose instantly). The power of the nuke in Generals is similar or possibly slightly less than that of the real fuel-air bomb IIRC.

That's meant to be an asteroid impact

Good research on the EMP effects. Is this to say that a ground detonation wouldn't disrupt any electrical systems in the surrounding area? Also, doesn't a true EMP pulse completely destroy all electrical systems - rendering them forever useless and not just a temporary blackout?

Here's a snippet:

"There is also a so called 'late-time EMP effect.' This refers to the observations of EMPs creating localized magnetic fields within electrical systems they pass through that soon collapse sending huge surges through power and telecommunication infrastructure. This sparks a chain reaction in which all devices attached to these lines will be rendered useless by the massive surge. Such FCGs can be made with basic electrical materials, plastic explosives and readily available machine tools and can be smaller than a suitcase. The fact that this weapon is so startlingly simple to construct and can potentially be so devastating to our society coupled with the terrorist attacks of September 11th constitutes a wakeup call to our national defense planners. Terrorists have proven that they are serious, now we must prove ourselves up to the task of planning for every contingency, including the dreaded scenario of a weapon that could propel our society back two-hundred years to an age devoid of electricity."
