This article has been marked because it violates the ModEnc Styleguide in one or more points. It should be cleaned up to a higher standard as soon as possible.


As a Flag

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

In Red Alert, it is also a flag in the [Maximums] section, defining the maximum amount of Warhead types that can co-exist at the same time. Note: In this case, the value is an integer, not a string.

In art(md).ini, Warhead= can be attached to an animation, which, as long as it has a valid Damage= tag, defines which armour types the animation can damage. I have noticed that EMEffect= does not work on Animation-only warheads with the Rock Patch, nor does CellSpread=. It does however, work fine on standard unit / structure-based weapons in rules(md).ini

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.

Special

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

Warhead=Special is a really special case. It is used for spawner weapons (weapons which instead of firing spawn certain AircraftTypes to attack the target). (See Spawns.)

Allied General's notes

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

The warhead in its most basic form is a multipler 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%.

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