Unit makers help? The TESLA MISSILE?

[FinnMcCool]

My vision is a missile that is produced by the Great Wonder "Tesla Coil" which can arc across the sky like an ICBM and looks like a huge ball of lightning.

Anything electrifying would, of course, be OK.

Credits given and many kudos, praise and bardic songs written to your fame for anyone willing to make this. If you know the basics of making units it shouldn't be too much work; the graphics would be pretty amorphous...

Do you have pics?

this was made for the warhammer mod:

Weeeelll! I looked at this unit, and it is a great start! It would be good as the attack animation for the missile, but I'd prefer to use something more for the "missile" while "stationary".

As a unit, the Tesla Missile exists as potential energy stored in the Tesla Coil (a true Great Wonder, a huge building to house the behemoth) which should show up as a pulsating energy body. When fired, it should show motion. This graphic is excellent for the final attack animation when it strikes.

Thanks Quinzy! I'll have to do some checking out of this odd creature, the WH mod...

I like the idea of looking into WH, the mod, but 250+ MB is intimidating just now. If any player familiar with this mod can upload a single unit animation, I would be grateful.

Quinzy's post with the spell strike animation is great. What I'm hoping for is an animation showing electricity arcing accross the sky.

The idea is that the Tunguska Event in Siberia coincided wierdly with Nikola Tesla's first experiment with his Tesla Coil, and some have suggested this isn't mere coincidence... I'd like to present the Wonder (Tesla Coil) with such abilities that might look like the Tunguska Event: such as, Meteorite, Meteor Shower, even something from the TechnoAngel unit might be useful...
