I just started modding a bit of Generals Zero hour , I was wondering how to change the weapon on fixed wing aircraft , take this example - I want to to mod f22 raptor to fire 1 Chinese Nuclear Superweapon Bomb. it worked for my missile defender as primary weapon that was lotsa fun there . Maybe I need to add a Turret to raptor object ini? Any Help would be a appriciated. Thanks.

I dont think you need a turret for replacing weapon on a plane.

I figured you just stuck the new weapon on the defender in this manner;

WeaponSet
Conditions = None
Weapon = PRIMARY Awesome weapon xxxxx
End
So do the same for your raptor

If you want it as an upgrade instead add these after the 1st weaponset;

WeaponSet
Conditions = PLAYER_UPGRADE
Weapon = PRIMARY Nuke_NukeMissileWeapon2
End

Then the unit needs this module to trigger the upgraded weapon;

Behavior = WeaponSetUpgrade ModuleTag_name
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_ChinaTacticalNukeMig
End

ShroudClearingRange = 400
Prerequisites
Object = Lazr_AmericaAirfield
End

WeaponSet
Conditions = None
Weapon = PRIMARY NeutronMissileWeapon
End
WeaponSet
Conditions = PLAYER_UPGRADE
Weapon = PRIMARY RaptorJetLaserGuidedMissileWeapon
End
ArmorSet

Either switch the weapons or remove the upgrade set.

Btw the comanche unit does not need to return to base to reload its rocket weapon. You can try looking at it.

Try cloning the NeutronMissileWeapon, give it a new name, compare it with the raptor's normal weapon and see what needs changing. If you change the NeutronMissileWeapon entry it will affect all nuclear missile superweapons I believe.

I have never done this at all, I stick to using plane weapons for planes, like giving king raptor the nuke general's mig nuke weapon. Same for vehicles and infantry.

You should be able to simply replace the projectile of any aircraft with the NeutronMissile to get it fully functional.

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.
