i want to have the vehicles in some maps be able to get destroyed after taking too much damage. How do u do that?

If u mean be destroyed like in halo 2 and 3 that would be in the collision model of the vehicle,use the wraith for a example it can be destroyed with or without a driver and displays damage flags. K my friend

can u tell me the exact flags i need to check ad un-check?

Modify the model_collision_geometry. Make a new effect that spawns a dead vehicle after it dies.

do i change the body destroy effect or area destroy effect?

Body destroyed.

I don't believe that destroyed vehicles sync in multiplayer. Ask Masters1337, It was attempted in one of the CMT multiplayer maps and never worked properly.

As far as I know when a person joins the game they do not see the vehicle in a destroyed state like everyone else does.

Actually, most likely nobody sees the vehicle in the destroyed state. The health of the vehicle isn't synced to clients.

So, we just create an illusion similar to coldsnap's mythos.

That illusion is what Gamma proposed: create a "dead" version of the vehicle. Except, instead of using scripts like in coldsnap, it's just spawned through the destroyed effect. The effect itself won't sync, but vehicles always sync in multiplayer. So, everyone will see the "dead" vehicle once it's created on server-side by the effect, even though nobody except the server sees the actual effect.

like i mean in coagulation. when u shoot the warthogs and ghosts, they get destroyed.

This warthog uses permutations, for dead hog and "live"hog.

I don't know how to change the "press e to flip this" tag.

o thnx but does anyone have the destroyed tags?

Halo 1's Covenant non-mp vehicles are able to be destroyed. Examine their collision, and replicate it with whatever vehicle you want. Just make sure that that vehicle has a destroyed permutation.

Never noticed that ALL covenant vehicles are only destroyable, the UNSC stuff isnt....
