View source for Adding An Airstrike To TS

== Basic Method ==

This is a relatively simple method of making an airstrike. 
However there are obviously good things and bad things.The only bad thing is,is that the plane can't be shot down.I will supply you with some template shps to use (bear in mind there not perfect). 

First of all you need to add the following to your rules.ini 

I used a chemical missile to base this off. 

 ; Chem weapon. 
 [ChemicalSpecial] 
 Name=Air Strike 
 IsPowered=true 
 RechargeVoice= 
 ChargingVoice= 
 ImpatientVoice= 
 SuspendVoice= 
 RechargeTime= 
 Type=AttackWaypoint 
 SidebarImage=MltiIcon  
 Action=AttackWaypoint ---nicer target icon
 WeaponType=ChemLauncher --- nothing special there just a name change 
 and stopped it needing weeds. 

This is the weapon that we will edit orignally from the chemical missile 

 ; Chemical missile launcher 
 [ChemLauncher] 
 Damage=0 
 ROF=1 ; 0 
 Range=6 
 Projectile=Invisible 
 Speed=35 -------depending on the speed you could make it have a delay or make it longer       
 for the plane to reach its destination
 Report=none 

your warhead for the airstrike 

 ; Air Strike  Warhead 
 [STRIKE] 
 Spread=3 
 Wall=no 
 Wood=no 
 Rocker=no 
 Verses=1%,1%,1%,1%,1% 
 Conventional=no 
 InfDeath=3 
 AnimList=BOMBPAS 
 ProneDamage=0% 

Thats the rules done. 

Now we move onto to art.ini 

Simply add the following 

As I said earlier I have supplied templates for this to work 

 [BOMBPAS] ----plane flying over dropping bombs/mines 
 Normalized=yes 
 Translucent=no 
 AltPalette=yes 
 Rate=370 
 Next=SEXPB 

 [SEXPB]  --- 1st bomb going off (starts from the left on this tut) 
 Translucent=yes 
 UseNormalLight=yes 
 Report=EXPNEW13 
 Damage=30 
 Crater=yes 
 Scorch=yes 
 Rate=900 
 Next=SEXPB2 

 [SEXPB2] --- 2nd bomb 
 Translucent=yes 
 UseNormalLight=yes 
 Report=EXPNEW13 
 Crater=yes 
 Damage=30 
 Scorch=yes 
 Rate=900 
 Next=SEXPB3 

 [SEXPB3] --- 3rd bomb 
 Translucent=yes 
 UseNormalLight=yes 
 Report=EXPNEW13 
 Crater=yes 
 Damage=30 
 Scorch=yes 
 Rate=900 
 Next=SEXPB4 

 [SEXPB4] --- 4th bomb 
 Translucent=yes 
 UseNormalLight=yes 
 Report=EXPNEW13 
 Crater=yes 
 Scorch=yes 
 Damage=30 
 Rate=900 
 Next=SEXPB5 

 [SEXPB5] --- 5th bomb 
 Translucent=yes 
 UseNormalLight=yes 
 Report=EXPNEW13 
 Crater=yes 
 Scorch=yes 
 Damage=30 
 Rate=900 
 Next=SEXPB6 

 [SEXPB6] -- 6th bomb 
 Translucent=yes 
 UseNormalLight=yes 
 Report=EXPNEW13 
 Crater=yes 
 Damage=30 
 Scorch=yes 
 Rate=900 

You can make each indivual bomb more powerful than the last,or just change all of their damages to the same.30 damage is a weak damage amount and the explosions occur in different places,you may wish to increase the damage. 

Also remember the building you wish this to be triggered by or effectively come from must have NukeSilo=yes. 

Enjoy this.

== Extension to the above ==

The method of using an animation containing a passing plane can also be used via another method to create an airstrike. Here, the plane needs the flag <tt>[[IsMeteor]]=yes</tt> and a high maximum X velocity with a minimal Y velocity. The <tt>[[Trailer]]</tt> is set to another animation, which is the acctual bomb. This bomb animation is set to be a meteor as well, anc can be copied right from METLARGE or METSMALL, however, both the image and damage should be revised.
