[General]
IonStormWarhead=MyStormWH ; a WarheadType registered in [Warheads]

Every lightning bolt, from a storm or from the Lightning strike at… trigger action, detonates with this warhead. Its Verses table and Spread falloff decide what each object near the strike loses, its AnimList supplies the explosion animation, and Bright=yes adds a flash. What a strike does lists the whole effect.

This assignment also decides who is immune

An explosion with this warhead does no damage to a vehicle, infantryman or aircraft on a team whose TeamType sets IonImmune=yes. A weapon that uses this same warhead also spares those objects, and pointing this key at a different warhead moves the exemption with it.

Name a warhead that has an AnimList

With the key unset, or naming a warhead whose AnimList is empty, the game crashes at the first bolt. A Conventional=yes warhead that strikes water takes its animation from SplashList instead, and crashes there if that list is empty.
