How to make a Radar Jammer
Submitted by Fenring

Everyone remembers the good ol' Radar Jammer from Red Alert! Let's bring it back into RA2/YR!

First, make your weapon.

[RadarJam]
Damage=1
ROF=1
Range=25 --> suit to your needs
Projectile=InvisibleLow
RevealOnFire=no
Camera=yes
Report=RadarOff
Warhead=JammerWH

Now, make the corresponding warhead.

[JammerWH]
Verses=0%,0%,0%,0%,0%,0%,0%,2%,0%,0%,0%
Temporal=yes
AnimList=animation --> make one, or remove the line

Here comes the fun part. See that 2%? That's steel for buildings. Do a Find and Replace with Armor=steel. Change those to Armor=wood or Armor=concrete.

Now, find your radar entries.

[GAAIRC]
Armor=steel

[NARDAR]
Armor=steel

[NAPSIS]
Armor=steel

[AMRADR]
Armor=steel

Now, add your unit. Presto, now you have a Radar Jammer!

Advanced: This can also be used to make a Hacker type unit.

First, your weapon.

[HackerWeapon]
Damage=1
ROF=1
Range=25 --> suit to your needs
Projectile=InvisibleLow
RevealOnFire=no
Camera=yes
Report=RadarOff --> suit to your needs or leave it blank
Warhead=HackerWH

Then your warhead.

[HackerWH]
Verses=0%,0%,0%,2%,2%,2%,2%,2%,2%,0%,0%
Temporal=yes
AnimList=animation --> same as before

This works with all of the armor types so no editing is needed. It's fun to use.
