Cool. That sure works... Well, I guess lightning's almost out of the way. You don't now which engine I'm using? Well, I'm making it. I3D: http://www.geocities.com/warmaster2000us You can download it and try it out if you like. It also includes source code. It already has billboarding(a bit), but I was hoping to make better billboarding. That was a good start for a lightning effect. From there, I'll try making lightning that "Targets" certain things like telephone poles and tall objects. (BTW, Tiberian Sun is C&C2, The new Redalert, Redalert2 is C&C3). Thanks for the cool lightning effects. Any more???
