Is it possible??



With ares tags - MindControl.Permanent=yes and MindControl=yes

Cell Spread - can capture some units in cell radius like psychic dominator?

Actually I wanted to do something like this but unfortunately this is not possible when I tried it. Even putting CellSpread, the controller unit will only control the selected unit, ignoring the CellSpread.

lol, a aircraft carrier that launches a hornet to paradrop a tank, that deploys into structure containing a death weapon psychic dominator. NO not a death weapon psychic dominator - an insta-charge self targeting superweapon

Yes?


So... using the psychic dominator as a weapon - and removing the blast damage is impossible? Even with ares?



I am looking at

MindControl.Permanent=yes

and thinking, surely this has a cell spread?  maybe I can do something with mad tank logic.

Aircraft paradrops all the passenger instead of firing its weapon is a hardcoded behavior.
This trick basically allows you to let a unit fire any kind of superweapon, but it needs place for the dummy building to deploy

Further built upon the permanent mind control aoe:


Code:
[SuperMindControl]
Damage=2
ROF=5
ProjectileRange=5
Projectile=AirburstController
Warhead=ControllerBuilding

[AreaMindControl]
Damage=2;Number of mind control links
ROF=200
Range=12
Projectile=TheActualPsychicControl
Speed=100
Warhead=ControllerBuilding
Anim=YURICNTL
FireOnce=yes

[ControllerBuilding];Mind control warhead.  Will skip normal damage like EMP did
Verses=100%,100%,100%,100%,100%,100%,100%,100%,100%,100%,100%
MindControl=yes
MindControl.Permanent=yes
AnimList=YURICNTL

[AirburstController]
Image=DRAGON
Splits=yes
Cluster=30
AirburstWeapon=AreaMindControl
;AG=yes
ROT=9999
Ranged=yes

[TheActualPsychicControl]
Image=SUBT
AG=yes
ROT=20


P.S. I realize the color changes are hard to make out, sorry

Should have mentioned just incase that only permanent mind control can use such coding, ordinary one will cause crash instantly given the links, in any case this yields certain radius from the cluster missiles.

Safe to say, should not use for many units or it's very unbalanced given perma control as that singular attack example could basicly control somethign like 60 units/buildings if they are within radius.

Yes I will limit this attack to only have effect on ANIMAL-based units using special vs flags and armor types.

I don't understand how you made the above code work, I'm afraid. I've been toying with it for all day now.

Adding a Range value to [SuperMindControl] (which I presume is the intended Primary= for your Yuri Prime) at least makes the permanent mind control work, but the airburst effect remains absent.

How did you get this to work, I wonder?

Make sure AreaMindControl is defined in the [WeaponTypes] list

It is. That's another thing the code above is missing, yes, but I figured that out already.

It has to be able to detonate, so it needs at least 5 cells first before it will spread as it's Splits logic not Airburst, don't let AirburstWeapon confuse you. Give it a shorter ProjectileRange or a MinimumRange=5.
The reason Range isn't included is I only included tags that overwrite the original for [SuperMindControl].

Thank you for your reply, 4StarGeneral! It works now, but, I suspect there is no way to make buildings immune to this (changing the warhead doesn't matter)?
