New Idea for an old problem...please read

ok, hey everyone, i've decided that i like modding games and Generals is too complex for me to mod right now. i'm going back to working on my mod again and i have a new idea for my superweapon problem. i got this idea from another thread, however i forget which one it was and who posted it, but would it be possible to replace the american paradrop with a new superweapon, like a meteor shower, ion cannon, etc. or is the paradrop not a "superweapon?"

Your limited to what you can do, for examlpe it is possible to get parabombs to work, but a meteor shower, although do-able would not look good, or realistic. If you want to make an ion cannon, replace the genetic mutator.

a meteor shower dropping in a parachute would be funny as hell... Laughing

lol, yeah especially dropping from a plane. I think it would be possible to turn the lightning storm into a meteor shower otherwise you can do it through map triggers, and also i think you would probably be able to turn the paradrop into droppods, but it would affect both paradrops.

actually, tratos, i don't think you're right about it affecting both paradrops. if you look in the rules file there are in fact two different paradrop "superweapons." one called AmericanParadropSpecial and another called ParadropSpecial. altering AmericanParadropSpecial has no influence on ParadropSpecial whatsoever. how would i go about making parabombs though?

Weather Storm can be turned in to meteor storm. I have seen it done in Allies Revenge 2.

It would if you made drop pods out of it because you would have to change the parachute image to a drop pod image which cannot be done for one without affecting the other.
