I tried to recreate the MAD tank but instead of exploding it does Internal Error!
There are 2 problems: The "auto-damage" doesnt'work (as I had to fire the building with one unit to destroy it) and the warhead too. If I use a "standard" warhead (one of the original game) it works. If I create one, even duplicating an existing one (and adding it to a new warhead line), it doesn't.

So, where's the wrong point?

[DCoder]

CellSpread > 10 = Internal Error.

Why are these parameters so restrictive?
Anyway, the explosion problem works now. Thanks!

now I must fix the explosion trigger problem.

This is the character of the game
I also don't like it (character of course, not game)

[BaRaKa_]

[MadExplode]
CanPassiveAquire=yes ; ( so it can fire it's MADBomb )
;and maybe
AttackFriendlies=yes ; so it can be triggered by any unit


[MADNUKE]
Range=255 ; or Range=-2 ;; - You have AreaFire, so the weapon will be fired in that cell where your unit is ; and you need the weapon be triggered not only when a unit comes 4 cells close to [MadExplode] ...

Thank you all, now the mad tank is quite perfect. However, it still does nothing when deployed...

[DCoder]

Make [MADBomb] Range=-2 .

[sslee]

deezire did a tutorial for MAD tank
see the tutorials section of this site

[DvD-IT]

for sslee: the tutorial was the first thing i read to create the mad tank.
for BaRaKa_ and dCoder, i also deactivated "unselectable=yes" to make the mad "structure" able to being ordered to fire. But it is still a bit weird... is it what you mean?

The only other thing I can think of is that building art names can only start with GA (GT), NA, YA, or CA. Other stuff (like MA) does not get recognized properly.
And who needs such long names for buildings anyway?
