Help With My Mod Please

[Mazeura]

Hey,I got a question about my mod that I'm finishing up.Can anybody provide me with a rather detailed description of how to make a unit use a weapon upon death?
I'm trying to make a Sieged tank use a powerful explosion when it dies,all terran players hate it when 'lings get up on the tank and kill it.

Simple,
You'll need Ice or IceCC for this
Just add the useweapon code into the Tank's death explosion
But the unit has to be targeting something if it's to use a weapon when it dies

That's as detailed as I can get, as doing what you're asking is rather simple, yet doesn't always work

No it doesnt, you can set the weapon as a ability with slash damage, *cough* PSI Storm *cough* therefore it would need no target, and this would be much easyier to do that having a weapon at death

However, here is a step by step on how to do this whith ICE, the important things sre surrounded by the leafs in the pictures.

First load ICE and click on file and then click on Load Deafault, which will load the Default unit profiles.

Then select the unit you want from the drop down menu, i selected the dragoon just for the hell of it.

Then click on the animations script tab and select Death anuimation from the list.

then when it loads click New and it will bring up a window that is labeled new opcode, here you will find the Use weapon command, select it and click ok

then a weapon will be added to the Death script, but there is one more thing, the number at the end of the script, will need to be channged to whatever weapon you want it to be useing the ID number, which appears at the end of the code you added, and if you dont know what the ID is you can find it in the bottom right corner of the selected weapon in arsenal 3.

Well,thanks.That should get it to work now.

[King_Critter]

ah HA! so that's what I was doing wrong! I had been trying to put "attack25 2" at the end of the zelot's death to make it release it's air attack. Now that I think about it though, I can see why that wouldn't work.
