ok how would someone make a missile that when it is about to hit it blows up into diffreant pieaces and then the pieces blow up causing a shockwave affect disabling buildings and vehicals?

[Reaper94]

a copy of Ironsides Cluster Missile and Leangs Earthshaker in other words?

[Rich19]

Heightdie, then an ocl upon death.

[Qcumberhd]

add this

ProjectileDetonationOCL = OMG_Clusters

somewhere in the weapon code

The New Generals in Shockwave 0.95, General Ironside AKA USA Armor General, and General Leang AKA China Special Weapons General.

[Slye_Fox]

Zeke, that would only OCL the bomblets when the bomb hits the ground, not when it dies from the hight die modual

[Zeke]

alright then, plan B

try adding this to the missile/bomb/object code

  Behavior = InstantDeathBehavior DeathModuleTag_03
	DeathTypes = ALL -LASERED -DETONATED
	FX		 = FX_ZOMGMissileExplosion
	OCL		= OCL_OMG_Clusters
  End

When a man asks you for fish, you could just give him some fish, but he will always comeback to ask you for more fish, but if you teach the man to fish, he can get all the fish he wants himself
[/Zen]

it is always better to do it yourself as you learn more, we HELP modders, and helping =/= Doing it for them, Try it yourself first, if you have questions look us up on MSN

[Qcumberhd]

ok i first need to know what " THE FISH" are

[Zeke]

*facepalm*

FISH = anything you desire, in your case it's "cluster bomb codes"

EDIT: I'll give you a hint, the cluster mine bomb dies in mid air, and the scud storm fires missiles to different locations (kinda like clusters)

Take a look at the cluster mine special power

Common sense is becoming rarer and is being replaced by a " GIEF NOW I WANT NOW " Attitude. If you have that sort of attitude, you won't learn anything. All you will do is annoy everyone by demanding we do your modding for you.

The best way to learn is... - Experiment. Once you know what all the files do, generals coding is just copy and paste and a bit of value tweaking. The exception to this would be particle effects. You can copy and paste to an extent though.

[Qcumberhd]

ok im sorry i was so demanding but could someone tell me at least the files i have to edit to get this? I no i have to change something in the weapon ini and in the weapon object ini. is there any other files?

[Cattman2236]

Experiment mate that is the only way you will learn anything as has already been stated, Think it through what do YOU think it needs? Are you making it as an upgrade? if so what will you need to edit? Think it through and it will soon make sense.

[Qcumberhd]

i have been thinking about this and working on this for bout 3 months know and every time i try it it comes up as the technical error crap thing

[Cattman2236]

If you get errors run WB it should tell you what the problem is or at least point you into the right direction of what is wrong.

[Qcumberhd]

l ill try that thanks

[Qcumberhd]

could any one tell me what is wrong with this code?

umm wut?

[Qcumberhd]

ok, when i go to the single player menu and click on skirmish it starts the match like normal but within 10 seconds the victories screen banner comes up and it endes the match right then. What can i do or replace to get rid of this problem?

[Zeke]

the AI isn't being read, did you move/rename/delete/edit the folder?

[Qcumberhd]

it is named correctly but is this all it is soppost to say ?
"AIData
; set the values in ini/default/aidata.ini for now.
End"

[Slye_Fox]

by AI, he means SkirmishScripts.scb
