Ion Storm

Raptor · Grenadier **Joined**: 04 Jan 2004 **Location**: .hr

hey ppl, i have browsed this forum and i found many nice posts, but this 1 i havent... i am interested for long time is it possible to make weapon that will trigger ion storm ?yes i know that it is trigger and it can be used only in map with final sun, but since i know that when unit picks up a crate can also trigger that event then i think that surely some weap can trigger it but dunno how, i already tried before some things but havent sucseeded, so if some1 has ideas i would be happy to hear them.

BTW; i am new to this forum and something is bugging me... when i write message in this post form my letters are transparent (same color as background) how to fix this ? , thanx

TriggerIonStorm=yes

It's impossible, sadly; it's not even possible to trigger an ion storm in a special map, at least not when u use a weapon... (u could start it when someone builds a particular building or even unit, however)

"(u could start it when someone builds a particular building or even unit, however)"

You need to set up a trigger that will fire if the event parameter is met.

In this case, the event parameter should be like (specific land vehicle built)

The action of the trigger would be (start in storm)

Take a look in Finalsun, at the trigger section..

Add a neutral trigger with above parameters and it should work

if i mess with triggers then i would need to define it for every map i play on, so it wont work on any (random skirmish) :/

i know this sounds n00bish,
but why cant we make a warhead with a high burst delay and Inaccurate=yes tag using an lightning as anim (taken from RA2) Laughing

so you havent got a "normal" ion stor but you can use it as weapon

u think ure funny, eh? Confused

by using the word "warhead" i just was to lazy to write that some special tags like inaccurate=yes and the cluster count must be done in projectil settings and that burst settings must be written to weapon itself.

BTW, things like that are base knowlege so u have to know it! Laughing
