A Question for Blade (or anyone else who knows)

This question mainly goes out to Blade, but if you think you can answer it you're more than welcome to try.

Blade, I'm interested in resurrecting an old C&C map and putting it into Tiberian Sun. I intend to totally re-make the mission, and it was going to be part of a Old C&C mod for Tiberian Sun I was thinking about making. Well this mission involves having a airstrike superweapon. A friend of mine told me you once made a map for Tiberian Sun that had the Airstrike in it, as a map-specific superweapon. I understand how to do this, sort of. Well, I have a limited understanding. If my guess is correct, you edit one of the superweapons in the rules, so that it, in effect, does nothing, and make some kind of trigger in the map that causes something to happen when this superweapon is fired. Anyhow, the Airstrike sounds a lot more complicated than this. If you would be willing to share your brilliance with me, I would be quite greatful.

It wasn't a superweapon as such. All I did was have it such that when certain things were destroyed on the map (like say all the sam sites), a reinforcement team of orca bombers would come and level part of the enemy base such as defensive positions that you couldn't get through. I don't think its possible to create a superweapon that can send an attack wave of bombers in TS, you could do it in YR probably by messing with the spy plane though.

you could use the Hunter seeker logic (but nothing would be involved just the charging logic) and when u released the hunter (unit created) a bomber strike would attack the enemy base

Although it would HAVE to be a single player mission not skirmish but i think that would work

P.S. Camera=yes is it just more or does that not work in anyway what so ever >?

Actually, Vlad tried that, it doesn't work. As soon as the hunter seeker fires once, it disappears.

that doesnt make sense, all it is, is a trigger u dont even have to EDIT the hunter seeker special if you want, and anything you do edit will be cosmetic and not changing any of the code

oh, you mean map-specific... yea that would work... but it still wouldn't target what you want it to target.
