So I was trying to make a weapon but encountered an annoying problem... What It was supposed to do: When the weapon is used it will fire a scud missile, then after a second the scud missile will disappear then 6 mini-missiles will spawn and rain down on the area. What happened: The missile fires, then after that the mini-missiles don't even spawn [sad] Code: [code=cpp];ObjectCreationList.ini ObjectCreationList OCL_ScatterMissiles DeliverPayload Transport = AWATD_DeliveryUnit FormationSize = 6 FormationSpacing = 1.0 StartAtPreferredHeight = Yes StartAtMaxSpeed = Yes MaxAttempts = 1 ;max attempts DeliveryDistance = 250 ;distance from target allowed to start/stop dropping.

Well it kinda works(Just gonna have to tweak it a bit tho). But I have another question, is it possible to make a unit have an upgrade as a requirement? Whenever I try to do something like: [code=cpp] Prerequisites Object = AWATDAirfield Upgrade = Upgrade_AWATDPlasmaWeapons ; This always makes it crash End [/code] Then it always results in an crash. I want to make some units buildable only when an upgrade is already researched... Help please?

Maybe you can add 'Options = NEED_UPGRADE' to your construction commandbutton. [code=plain] CommandButton Command_ConstructYourThing Command = UNIT_BUILD Object = YourThing Options = NEED_UPGRADE Upgrade = Upgrade_AWATDPlasmaWeapons TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:ConstructYourThing ButtonImage = ImageHere ButtonBorderType = BUILD DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipBuildYourThing End ;Add this to the object code Prerequisites Object = AWATDAirfield End [/code] Dont know if it works, didnt test it...

Although I don't think this is very close at all to what you have in mind, you could try using "ProjectileDetonationOCL" in the weapon code to spawn an OCL that creates several units that wait a few seconds to explode or just explode instantly, if that's possible.

Hmm, that idea I thought of came from [url=http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ADniytpxM20]this[/url] video([i]notice in the video how the missiles split apart just when they're about to hit an enemy unit[/i])
