Recreate Lightning SW or Barrage type SW without it's SW Tag

This time I did not come to ask questions but rather give what I found. I believe some of you or maybe most of you might know this by now but this is just what I found and perhaps can help others that doesn't know yet.

It can be anything. Most of SW can do.

See the video.
I did not make lightning with clouds because it just a test and it would be too much work for this one.

Or Mix many superweapon.
I believe 1 member already made this but I am just adding some more to make it different. Missile is NUKE. Lightning is Genetic Warhead and Fireball is Genetic warhead with IsMeteor=yes

The key is
SW.Designators=xxxx

AND

SW.AITargeting=LightningRandom
SW.UseAITargeting=yes
SW.AutoFire=yes

LightningRandom << This one will make weapon fires at randomly location so combine with Designators and DesignatorRange will scope that SW to fire within specific area.

Adding below to make SW fires multiple weapons within a specific area.

Code:

SuperWeapon=SWTester
SuperWeapon2=SWTester2
SuperWeapons=SWTester3

Then just make it designator building to killself. You can use 0x0 foundation building and killself after some time. Using UnitDelivery type to spawn this building and let them do their job.

Sorry for my poor English.

Thanks.
This is close enough. Next time I will change to invisible Plane and fires a missile in a shape of cannon instead because Phobos has bullet trails that very similar to mimic the cannon trails from Generals. Once the plane fires it's weapon it will then suicide (no crash) So it's mimic that cannon is missing from the radar without returning.

In the video I am using Apocalypse gun so it's not that majestic when hit as I need to tweak and make changes.

This is more like it. I will tinker some more for perfection.
