If set, the game will draw a colored wave along the projectile path (target -> firer when targeting VehicleTypes, reversed otherwise). This is used on the Magnetron. A similar, but broken wave can be created by using IsSonic=yes on the weapon instead.

Note: if the projectile is invisible, then the warhead will detonate when the wave hits the target. If it is visible, this wave will be only a graphic effect, and the warhead will detonate when the visible projectile hits. However, AI units will "sense" the wave and try to scatter before the projectile hits.

-Can be set to 'yes' or 'no' and specifies that the weapon and warhead utilize an internal routine that draws a colored line from the attacker to the target with a kind of 'wave' effect. This is only used by the Magnetron Yuri's Revenge (it is modified code from the Disruptor in Tiberian Sun). The IsSonic=yes tag on a weapon creates a similar effect (a 'broken' line in different colors).<br />
