What is the weapon that it uses? I still can't figure it out... It's not NukePayload nor the NukeBomb, and AtomDamage is obsolete.... so what is it???

It is NukePayload.

[NukePayload]
Damage=600
Range=30
Projectile=GiantNukeDown ;MultiMissile
Speed=10
RadLevel=500
Warhead=NUKE
Report=

Impossible... really?

Well it's part of it, look for GiantNukeUp and you will see what I mean.

It's a multi stage weapon, called by a super weapon.

Hmm... I've always thought that only the Soviet Nuclear Reactor uses that... well they do require building to use it for a deathweapon, but Mig Eater said it wasn't true, and that he didn't need one for it to work. What uses NukeBomb then? Just an obsolete weapon?

Oh nothing specific, just making the nuke a little more interesting... if NukePayload is the weapon, I'll just give NANRCT a different DeathWeapon, and give some other dummy structure DeathWeapon=NukePayload and see what I can do. Thanks for your help.

I don't think NukePayload needs to be declared as it is called straight from the hardcoded exe. Confused

Nuke works by first calling NukeCarrier weapon which creates going up missile and then nukemaker=yes sets in to call the NukePayload weapon which brings the downward missile down to target.

Nukebomb seems totally redundant weapon entry.

Oh, Right. I'll just stick to pixels then. Laughing

It does need to be declared since the Nuke Reactor uses it as its DeathWeapon. You know what happens when you fire a weapon that doesn't exist.

I have noticed that somewhere in [Generals] is declared that the warhead used by the falling nuke missile is [Nuke], but the warhead is actually [NUKE]... why is that?

Westwood was a bunch of silly bitches. That's why.

Yeah, as many good ideas they might have had, as many silly mistakes they made. I'm not that much into RA2/YR modding, but in TS alone there are truckloads of things that made me go "WTF how could they NOT have noticed that? And it could have been fixed within seconds! OMG..."
