As a Flag

On Weapons

Tiberian Dawn The Covert Operations Red Alert Counterstrike Aftermath Tiberian Sun Firestorm HyperPatch Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge Ares Generals Zero Hour Tiberium Wars Kane's Wrath
Flag: Warhead
File(s): rules(md).ini
Values: Strings: Normal text. (Limited to: Warheads)
Special Values: Special (see below)
Applicable to: Weapons, VoxelAnims


In all Rules(md).ini based C&Cs, Warhead defines a Warhead that this weapon/debris should use to deal damage upon impact.

In [Maximums]

Tiberian Dawn The Covert Operations Red Alert Counterstrike Aftermath Tiberian Sun Firestorm HyperPatch Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge Ares Generals Zero Hour Tiberium Wars Kane's Wrath
Flag: Warhead
File(s): rules(md).ini
Values: Signed integers: All whole numbers from -2147483648 to 2147483647; in rare cases, only from -32768 to 32767.
Special Values: Special (see below)
Applicable to: Maximums


This is also a flag in the [Maximums] section, defining the maximum amount of Warhead types that can co-exist at the same time.

On Animations

Tiberian Dawn The Covert Operations Red Alert Counterstrike Aftermath Tiberian Sun Firestorm HyperPatch Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge Ares Generals Zero Hour Tiberium Wars Kane's Wrath
Flag: Warhead
File(s): art(md).ini
Values: Strings: Normal text. (Limited to: Warheads)
Special Values: Special (see below)
Applicable to: Animations


In art(md).ini, Warhead can be attached to an animation, which, as long as it has a valid ExpireAnim setting and a Damage tag, defines which armour types the animation can damage. Other tags do not work correctly with Animation warheads, including CellSpread and EMEffect.

[Special]

Note: this section is applicable to RA2/YR only.

Warhead=Special is a really special case. It is a dummy warhead which is used for spawner weapons (weapons which instead of firing spawn certain AircraftTypes to attack the target). The [Special] warhead for spawner weapons can be changed to a functioning and listed warhead with a different name and unique verses without crashing the game. Using a non existing warhead, like the [Special] warhead, makes the engine use default values.(See Spawns.)

As an Object

A warhead controls most of the weapon impact behaviour, including the damage multiplier for certain armor types, the spread of the damage, the graphics of the impact, and a lot of special case functionality.

See Warhead Flags for a list of flags applicable to a Warhead.

Notes

Warheads are the rock, scissors, paper of RA2 weapons.

The warhead in its most basic form is a multiplier to the damage of a weapon. 100% is the default and means that the weapons total damage equals: Damage= x1.0. If a warhead is only 25% effective then total damage equals: Damage x0.25. % settings can be higher the 100%, but there is a difference between a combo of Positive verses and negative Damage and a combo of negative Verses and positive Damage.

Warheads can also spawn particles, shake the screen, destroy tiberium and have special tags which releate to the immunetoxxxx tags.
