80.65.172.220:

This is a fairly easy method of adding a suicide bomber aircraft and/or it's superweapon. ''Note: Requires RockPatch 1.06 or later.'' ''Note: All credit for the warhead, projectile and airplane goes to Renegade, while I designed the superweapon code.''

=== The Missile Code: ===

The missile code is placed in the {{Ini|rules}}. Of course you may tailor it to your needs.

<tt>
[MissileJump]
Damage=40 ;Determines the amount of damage caused
ROF=45 ;Determines the Rate Of Fire
Range=6 ;Determines the range at which the plane will start diving into it's target
Speed=80 ;Determines the speed of the diving plane
Warhead=CruiseAP ;Determines which warhead will be used for the missile
OmniFire=yes ;See [[OmniFire]]
Projectile=SCDMISSILE1 ;Set's which projectile to use as the payload
LimboLaunch=yes ;Here's the limbo launch trick
</tt>

=== The Warhead Code: ===

The warhead code is also placed in the {{Ini|rules}}. Of course you may tailor it to your needs.

<tt>
[CruiseAP]
CellSpread=1.3 ;Determines the radius of the warheads blast
Wall=yes ;Determines if the warhead can destroy walls
Wood=yes ;Determines if the warhead can damage terrain
Verses=25%,25%,15%,75%,100%,100%,100%,95%,90%,100%,100% ;See [[Verses]]
Conventional=yes ;See [[Conventional]]
InfDeath=2 ;See [[InfDeath]]
AnimList=MININUKE ;Determines anim played when warhead explodes
ProneDamage=100% ;See [[ProneDamage]]
MinDebris=1 ;See [[MinDebris]]
MaxDebris=2 ;See [[MaxDebris]]
</tt>

=== The Projectile Code: ===
The projectile code is also placed in the {{Ini|rules}}. Of course you may tailor it to your needs.

<tt>
[SCDMISSILE1]
Image=FALC ;Determines the image of the projectile, currently set to Harrier's image
AA=no ;Determines if the projectile can damage airborne units
Arm=2 ;See [[Arm]]
AG=yes ;See [[AG]]
ROT=8 ;Rate Of Turn, requires to use Rotates
Shadow=yes ;Determines should a shadow be drawn on the ground
Proximity=no ;See [[Proximity]]
Ranged=no ;See [[Ranged]]
[[FirersPalette]]=yes ;This tag can only be used on SHP projectiles, so it's useless here
SubjectToCliffs=no ;See [[SubjectToCliffs]]
SubjectToElevation=no ;See [[SubjectToElevation]]
SubjectToWalls=no ;See [[SubjectToWalls]]
</tt>

=== The Kamikaze Airplane: ===
This is the kamikaze airplane code. It is placed (again) in {{Ini|rules}}. It has to be specified in [[AircraftTypes]]. You should also add the appropriate string into ra2{md}.csf. You may tailor it to your needs.

<tt>
[CRUISEM]
[[Image]]=FALC
[[UIName]]=Name:CRUISEM
[[Name]]=Kamikaze Airplane
[[Primary]]=MissileJump ;Weapon to use when it kamikazes into it's target
[[DeathWeapon]]=HornetCollision ;Alternate weapon when it gets shot down
[[CanPassiveAquire]]=no
[[CanRetaliate]]=no
[[Strength]]=120
[[Category]]=AirLift
[[Armor]]=light
[[TechLevel]]=-1
[[Sight]]=0
[[RadarInvisible]]=no
[[Landable]]=yes
[[MoveToShroud]]=yes
[[PipScale]]=Ammo
[[Speed]]=16
[[PitchSpeed]]=1.1
[[PitchAngle]]=0
[[OmniFire]]=yes
[[Owner]]=British,French,Germans,Americans,Alliance,Russians,Confederation,Africans,Arabs,YuriCountry
[[Cost]]=1000
[[Points]]=20
[[ROT]]=3
[[Ammo]]=1
[[Crewed]]=no
[[ConsideredAircraft]]=yes
[[AirportBound]]=no
[[GuardRange]]=1
[[Explosion]]=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60
[[MaxDebris]]=3
[[IsSelectableCombatant]]=no
[[VoiceSelect]]=ChaosDroneSelect
[[VoiceAttack]]=ChaosDroneAttackCommand
[[VoiceMove]]=ChaosDroneMove

[[Fighter]]=yes
[[AllowedToStartInMultiplayer]]=no
[[ImmuneToPsionics]]=yes
[[ImmuneToRadiation]]=yes
[[PreventAttackMove]]=yes
[[Trainable]]=no
[[Spawned]]=yes
</tt>

=== Superweapon Code: ===

The superweapon code is (again) placed in the {{ini|rules}}. You must list the superweapon in [[SuperWeaponTypes]]. I don't recommend editing anything here but: [[RechargeTime]], [[IsPowered]], [[Spyplane]], [[SpyplaneNums]], [[ShowTimer]], [[SidebarImage]] and [[EvaReady]]. You must add a different action. See [[RockPatch Docs:Adding custom Actions|Adding Custom Actions]] for help.

<tt>
[AirstrikeSpecial]
[[UIName]]=Name:KAZI
[[Name]]=Kamikaze Airstrike
IsPowered=false ;Defines whether this superweapon requires base power to be online
RechargeTime=4 ;Time until it charges up
Type=SpyPlane ;SpyPlane is the type for SpyPlane clones or Airstrikes
Action=Kazi ;check out the Adding custom Actions page to find out more about this
SidebarImage=KAZICON ;Cameo in the sidebar
ShowTimer=no ;Should everyone be allowed to see the timer
DisableableFromShell=no ;Defines can this superweapon be disabled by turning off superweapons
FlashSidebarTabFrames=120 ;See [[FlashSidebarTabFrames]]
AITargetingType=1 ;Defines where will the AI use this superweapon. See [[RockPatch_Docs:Making_the_AI_use_custom_SuperWeapons|AI Targeting]] for info
SpyPlane=CRUISEM ;Sets which plane will be used for the airstrike
SpyPlanesNum=3 ;The number of planes which will kamikaze
IsAirstrike=yes ;Defines is this an airstrike or spyplane
EvaReady=EVA_AirstrikeReady ;The sound which is played when it's fully charged up
</tt>
