Hey guys, I want to make a special power similar to the Particle Cannon of the USA. but instead of the laser firing from it, I want to make a direct special power that I can activate from the Command Center whereby the laser will be fired from the sky without a particle cannon.

However, i have no idea where to start. can anyone tell me the steps? i most probably can guide myself through only if i know the steps. thanks!

Actually it depends if you want to guide the laser after commanding to launch it.
Assuming you know your way around with the codes.

You Could.

Like what Pakhibirdy said.

You can use Artillery Barrage as your base for the Special Power.
-Things to do:
--Provide all the necessary Sciences, Special Powers, OCLs and Buttons for it.
--Make a new "Artillery Shell" make it have a ParticleSystem that is similar to that of a Particle Cannon.
--Update the OCL with the new shell and other details along with it.

Or.

You can use the Spectre Gunship as the base if you want to guide the laser after shooting it.

Just make sure the Spectre Gunship isn't seen or there's no model for it and also make it Fly a really high altitude.

-Just make a Laser Weapon for it and remove the extra guns.

The only problem is when you accidently lose control over the "Spectre Gunship".

Very well thought through.

Losing control can be fixed with a select-all shortcut, as with the aircraft carrier. The extra guns can also be converted into SFX spawners.
If you need help, post in the forum. You'll get help a lot faster than if you send me a PM.

I reject all buddy requests. I don't think 'buddy' needs to be made official. It's not like you're marrying me.
