As a concept

When some units are destroyed they explode, potentially damaging surrounding objects. This effect is achieved in-game by setting Explodes=yes on the unit - this tells the game to fire a weapon at the cell previously occupied by the destroyed unit. See the flags below for how that 'death weapon' is determined.

For [CombatDamage]

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: DeathWeapon
File(s): rules(md).ini
Values: Strings: Normal text. (Limited to: Weapons)
Default: none
Applicable to: CombatDamage


Specifies the default death weapon to use when a unit with Explodes=yes set is destroyed. This is only used if the exploding unit does not have a current primary weapon) and has not specified its own DeathWeapon.

For TechnoTypes

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: DeathWeapon
File(s): rules(md).ini
Values: Strings: Normal text. (Limited to: Weapons)
Default: none* (default is not hard-coded or pre-determined from INI code, but is instead taken to be the unit's current primary weapon)
Applicable to: TechnoTypes:

AircraftTypes, BuildingTypes, InfantryTypes and VehicleTypes



Specifies the death weapon to use when this unit is destroyed in-game (assuming that this unit also has Explodes=yes set). Note that DeathWeapon on the unit overrides any other method for determing the death weapon to use.

Notes

  • Firing a DeathWeapon will prevent the animations listed in an object's Explosion statement being played when that object is destroyed. However, if Explodes=yes has been set, but no DeathWeapon statement is present, the animations will be played normally.
