Any tips for making an artillery strike SW? I've been using a modified lightning storm, with the bolts replaced with arty shells etc. Got to be a better way tho... _________________

Try a bursted nuke, as far as I see, it can be used for a FireSW like thingie.
What I already know is that Nuke.Palyoad withoiut SiloLaunch works well. _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman

The lightning storm is better actually for most things of this matter, because it permits multiple shots.
Whereas even if a nuke with burst and other "scatter" commands, will shoot too fast with a delay of just 1 frame (no parent object to control BurstDelay?) _________________ QUICK_EDIT
While Lightning SW can grant you a larger range of shots, if you want small range (and as much as kenosis overuses airburst) airburst is the best bet. _________________ "Don't beg for things; Do it yourself or you'll never get anything." QUICK_EDIT
Theres also the problem that if you do use the Lightning Storm for it there can only be one Artillery Strike active on the map. _________________ ~ Excelsior ~ QUICK_EDIT
I think Eric "fixed" that... Or I'm thinking of random lightning storms.
Why not just use SpyPlane Clone and do it like how kenosis said. Give the Plane an infinite range weapon so that it'll fire the shells immediately upon start of the Superweapon. _________________ ~ Excelsior ~ QUICK_EDIT

This is not a Nuke. But not a LStorm neither. And this gives you the option to create your barrage as well. _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman

Just shame that it can't be used to kill anything on water, since debris, upon impact with water, just displays one of the splash animations and does not even deal damage. If it wasn't for that, it'd probably be the best solution for something like this. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Still a usable feature. Could be noted in the manual that the shells wont explode upon contact with water. _________________ "I'll be staying strapped cuse my mac-eleven make my nuts bigger" QUICK_EDIT

I used the Lightning Storm method as well when doing an artillery strike for one my mods.
Assuming you want a "realistic" artillery strike (IE an entire battery of guns, inaccurate, prolonged and over a wide but targeted area), Lightning Storm is probably the way to go. _________________ YR modder/artist, DOOM mapper, aka evanb90
