aka idmontie

How do I create nuke style attacks like that of Ultimate Doom's Photon Cannon. For those that have not played it: the Photon Cannon shoots upward and the flingy disappears then reappears coming straight down on the unit. I do realize that there needs to be iscript and dat editting, but Im not exactly sure what I must add to the iscript, nor where to add it. I do realize that in the weapons.dat, I need to change the weapon to: Appears on Target. Any help is welcome.

EDIT: Just so no one says this: I AM NOT LOOKING FOR THE NUKE EXPLOSION ANMATION; rather, I am looking for the way the missles fires and comes back down.

I'm not sure if this is how BST did it, but I can imagine a "simple" method that involves...
Place a bunch of sprite-overlays using your missile-graphic of choice in the attack animation for your unit, using the proper x/y offsets to give the 'scatter' effect. To have them 'fly' upward, you simply do either:
Have a 'move up' command in the animation for the sprite you're using,
or...
Have them only exist for a few or 1 frames, and place new sprites in the same locations as the last except with a vertical offset to simulate a sprite 'moving up.'

The same goes for the hit effect, except instead of going up, they go down, and instead of putting them in the animation for your unit, you put them in the animation of the sprite you're hitting with.



None.

ALL PRAISE YOUR SUPREME LORD CORBO

Yeah that would pretty much be it I think. A couple of increasing setvertpositions That as a init animation and as death (the one to appear on target) same setvertposition but starting at the max value and decreasing them so it comes down until it dies (explodes, randomly disappears, anything that works for you)

That's what I would try.



fuck you all

Responsible for my own happiness? I can't even be responsible for my own breakfast

Don't forget that negative setvertpos values appear higher ingame.



all i am is a contrary canary
but i'm crazy for you
i watched you cradling a tissue box
sneezing and sniffling, you were still a fox

He posted the iscript source with the mod, why not use that?

Looks like he was using an old version. It won't recompile on a new version.

You probably have an older version of IceCC

wich one is the oldest version? 1.3?

__04 is setvertpos, but in the old versions of icecc (pre 1.3) it was broken because it thought that __04 took one two byte argument instead of two one byte ones.

Just decompile the iscript.bin file from the mod using 1.3 to get everything fixed.

Didn't I already see this in one of your mods? A random attack of some tank in Disunion dropped a missile on it's target.
