How to make a Nuke like in TD, RA1 or RA2

Jah · Commander **Joined**: 23 Nov 2002

Recently I came up with idea on how to make vertical nuke using emp cannon. Beside all the new art and stuff you will need to:

1.
A. Make a new weapon with an invisible projectile like this one:

In Rules.ini
[NukeMissile]
Damage=1200 ; damage inflited. should be high for a nuke
ROF=1 ; rof doesnt matter
Speed=25 ; should be low for a delay between start and impact
Warhead=NukeWH ; create a new warhead
Projectile=NukeMissileP ; just copy AAHeatSeeker2
Range=250 ; needs to be long (nuke
MinimumRange=15 ; this may prevent you from blowing up your own base
Report=ICBM1
Bright=yes

B. Make this weapon have a muzzle flash of a missile flying up

Anim=XXX , well you'll have to create one (maybe I'll do it later)

C. Make a new falling meteor-type anim

In Art.ini

[NUKEIMPACT]
Image=NUKEDOWN ; you can just insert art from RA1 or RA2
Elasticity=0.0 ; you dont need this
MaxXYVel=0.0 ; you dont need this too -- missile is straight vertical
MinZVel=-50.0
ExpireAnim=NUKEANIM ; insert from RA2
Damage=5000000 ; Really high
Duration=70
DamageRadius=300
Warhead=TankOGas
IsMeteor=true
Spawns=SHOCKWAVE_HACK ;those who played RoTD know what I mean
SpawnCount=150
LoopStart=0 ;
LoopEnd=8
LoopCount=-1
RandomRate=220,500
DetailLevel=0
TrailerAnim=METLTRAL
TrailerSeperation=1
Report=NukeSiren ; insert from RA2

E. Make the warhead of this weapon have this anim.
In Rules.ini
[NukeWH]
blah blah blah
AnimList=NUKEIMPACT

2.
A. Now go find your [NAPULS] section
B. Change the Primary= to the weapon you've just made
C. Here you go!

This tutorial might be useful for RoTD
