A tank with two giant grabbers at the front, that eats infantry just by running over them (either through squish logic, a short-range microwave tank-like weapon or a modified PDL-type weapon). When it attacks, you hear the characteristic 'wakka wakka' of the classic game. It's not just an infantry muncher, but true to the original you get points (money) for each soldier it eats (done with salvage spawn logic).

That's why its called Crazy mod. Now isn't it? Just look at the other suggestions here and you'll find a giant worm eating half of your base a terrorist strapped on a nuclear missile and this.

ur right. but isn't it f*cking hard to program?

[Rai]

With Jordan and the other Crazy mod team nothing is impossible.

Crush logic is my guess. Animating will prove to be annoying I think.

well... browse to the disco inferno cannon and that ones declared imposible to animate. and that one just had to be shells wich caused people to cheer (see animation end most campaigns).

[Jordan]

You can't trigger cheering by a weapon, and I don't even think that there is an actual cheering ability that can be triggered by INI. You would have to make a new deathtype to instant-kill any infantry affected, and replace them with a fake infantry object with the animation playing, which would then have to spawn a new infantry unit, probably using pilot logic, which would then cause the infantry to regain all health because of the logic.

Unless there's a better way which has flown completely over my head.

Back On Topic:
--------------------
I like this idea, though it might be better if it could eat anything in its path, since melee type vehicles can get destroyed quickly if they aren't in range.

[WNxMastrefubu]

usa weapon it will be?

[CodeCat]

Sounds allright, but you'd get more money for eating bigger units though.

[Su8perkillr]

it could be used as super unit for a general, or as a special ability since when trainable u just could swarm the enemy base and place pac's at every unit creation building and so get rich.

[WNxMastrefubu]

it would make a sweet general power.
