View source for Adding A Kamikaze Airstrike To RA2/YR

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

</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>
