On impact, the game reads the rules for the impact from the warhead, and then calculates the damage inflicted, basing on the Damage= value supplied in the weapon.

			Note: Even though there is no explicit [WeaponTypes] list in the rules, the game builds one internally from all the weapons that are loaded via objects. This list is used by certain ingame functions.

			== Making new weapons (by DCoder) ==

			New weapons are easy to create, as long as you know these facts:

			*weapon needs to have a [[projectile]]
			*weapon needs to have a [[warhead]]
			*weapon needs to have a [[range]]
			When a unit is ordered to fire, it moves towards the target until it is in Range=, then fires the weapon. It travels through the air (directed by the Projectile=), impacts and deals a certain % of weapon's Damage= (directed by the Warhead=).
			Enough theory, let's make a new weapon, projectile and warhead to replace the Destroyer's cannon with a RA1 style missile launcher. So set [DEST] Primary=OldMissile, then create this section:<br><blockquote>
			[OldMissile]<br>
			Damage=60 '';how much damage points to deliver''<br>
			ROF=60 '';how often (in frames) to fire''<br>
			Range=8 '';how far (in cells) can the weapon fly?''<br>
			Projectile=HeatSeekingMissile '';our new projectile''<br>
			Warhead=HeatMissileWH '';our new warhead''<br>
			Speed=25 ''; how fast does the weapon fly?''<br>
			Report=AegisAttack '';the sound of aegis missile launcher''</blockquote>

			But the [HeatSeekingMissile] does not exist yet. So create it:<blockquote>
			[HeatSeekingMissile]<br>
			High=yes '';fly in an arc (IFV missile like) instead of straight (cannon like)''<br>
			Shadow=no '';don't draw shadow on the ground (the missile is too small)''<br>
			AA=yes '';can it hit air targets?''<br>
			AG=yes '';can it hit ground targets?''<br>
			Image=MEDUSA '';this is the image that Aegis missile uses''<br>
			ROT=20 '';(not zero means it can 'home in' on the target)''<br>
			SubjectToCliffs=no '';can cliffs mess up the targeting (we're in the water, no cliffs here)''<br>
			SubjectToElevation=no '';does the weapon get a range bonus if fired from a high place downwards?''<br>
			SubjectToWalls=no '';can the walls stop it?''</blockquote>

			The [HeatMissileWH] also doesn't exist. So we need to create it as well: <blockquote>
			[HeatMissileWH]<br>
			CellSpread=.3 '';in map cells, how far can you still feel the impact''<br>
			PercentAtMax=1 '';at the edge of the area effected (determined by cellspread) this is the percent of damage done.''<br>
			Verses=100%,100%,100%,100%,100%,100%,0%,0%,0%,100%,100% '';(see [[armor types]] tutorial)''<br>
			InfDeath=3 '';which infantry death to use when infantry is killed by this weapon?''<br>
			AnimList=EXPLOSML '';what animations to play at impact point?''<br>
			ProneDamage=100% '';% damage to deal to infantry that is prone (deployed counts as prone)''</blockquote>

			Now, add the HeatMissileWH to the [Warheads] list. I haven't seen anything wrong when I don't put it there, but since the list exists, it can be necessary for something.
