i don't think you can do it with anims, i think you'll need an actual weapon. so you'd need to make a new superweapon with PDs new(unreleased) EMP superweapon that fires an actual weapon. you'd simply use some kind of invisable flight to target weapon that shards(like prism, or even cluster)into 5 other projectiles.
its probable that you'll need a placeholder dummy unit of some kind. i usually create something such as [DUMMYMINER] TechLevel=-1 Primary=weapon1 Secondary=weapon1shard ElitePrimary=weapon2 EliteSecondary=weapon2shard, and then place the placeholder unit somewhere in the units list such as 150=DUMMYMINER. this is because there is no weapons list, so the engine reads weapon names from units to see if they exist or not.
