Here's how was the works done.

we know that there are some unused SW actions in RA2/YR. i found four
unused action in YR - SellUnit, TibSunBug, AttackMoveTar and AttackMoveNav.
U can clone an existing SW by Copying data and giving it one of the unused
action. See the following examples.

[Nuke2Special]
UIName=Name:Nuke
Name=N U K E !!! Clone
IsPowered=true
RechargeVoice=00-I154
RechargeTime=10
Type=MultiMissile
SidebarImage=NukeIcon
Action=TibSunBug ;Nuke <--- prev action
WeaponType=NukeCarrier
ShowTimer=yes
DisableableFromShell=yes ; gs this determines which superweapons are turned off by the checkbox
AIDefendAgainst=yes;AI will use AISuperDefense system to decide to block this
Range=7
LineMultiplier=2

[LightningStorm2Special]
UIName=Name:Storm
Name=Lightning Storm Clone
IsPowered=true
RechargeVoice=00-I156
RechargeTime=10
Type=LightningStorm
Action=AttackMoveNav ;LightningStorm <-- Prev action
SidebarImage=BOLTICON
ShowTimer=yes
DisableableFromShell=yes
AIDefendAgainst=yes
Range=7
LineMultiplier=2

the above codes are valid code. U must enter the name of the cloned super
weapon into the [Superweapons] list.

if u already have SellUnitSpecial and Paradrop2Special, even then u have
three unused actions are left. U can use only SellUnit action second
time for cloning Super Weapons. other actions can only be used once.


My Ion Cannon SW is an hack on the YR (same as deezires Psychic Gas).
It is now only a beta stage. I tried but couldn't add the ground shockwave anim
for ion cannon. If u can do it please send me an upgraded copy at
mugenbd@hotmail.com in zip/rar format

I dont know much about superweapons. I didnt realise you could make them; thought only replace them. Basically can you make as many as possible with the available actions? Can you not use the same action more than once? And er....what does the action actually mean......? Or does it not matter, coz the actions I have seen seem unrelated to superweapkns lol.


Speaking of superweapons, if this works, I would like to add a new one - the SCUD Launcher. Like a mini mobile nuke, with a limited range. The vehicle deploys into the building....which would hopefully look like the vehicle with the missile pointing up. Has anyone tried this, or seen any vxls/shps of this, or can anyone make it for me?

It would have to be a large vxl - like an mcv with a missile on top at least.

Assuming it would work.

AttackMoveNav is already used - your 'super weapon' will fire if you select a group of units and order them to attack-move from the Advanced Command Bar.

All of your 'cloned' super weapons will also screw up the super anims on the structures that carry the original ones.

Sorry dude, but nothing new here.
