Buildable Artillery Strike?
What I'd like to do is experiment with the possibility of creating an artillery strike without adding to many things to the game (IE animations, unit image, etc). The method I'm thinking of using is creating a unit that act like the hunter seeker and is built from the helipad but a unit has to be on it. I've actually created a GDI missile strike using this method. Anyway there are some things I'd like to know:
1: is there a flight level which is out of view of the camera
2: is it possible to create an inaccurate projectile. (not using inaccurate tag)
I was thinking of also experiment with the EMP weapon type but I dont think that would work as sucessfully. Unless the projectile can be invisavble yet be an airburst... QUICK_EDIT

the artillery building will simply have a firing animation, where it launches a shitload of shells into the air. in the Rules, you give it an invisible projectile. when that projectile impacts, give it an explosion animation, that looks like mentioned shitload of shells imapcting into the ground. the weapon itself will do 1 dmg or so, but the animation will do the real damage. (specified in art.ini as far as i can remember) you can make the animation about as large as you want, thus covering a large area, making it look inaccurate. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum.

simply said, have a look at worm's nuke tutorial
instead of simple animations, make it spawn meteor animations, have the new meteor images be your shells _________________ Micro TS
