Hey people, I got another problem - I want to make the warthog and the tank destroyable. I know how it works by checking the ghost tags. My info so far tells me just set a body vitality and a damaged state thing and finally and destroyed effect and I'm done... But I did all that and it didn't work...

Can anyone help?

Another prob for you people is that how do you make the vehicles spawn at full health again once they were destroyed?

Thks for help!

Oh, I was looking for the same info! Let's post so the topic stays fresh ^^.

I found that it is link to the geometry of the model... Urg but I still have hope. Anyone out there care to teach me an easier way? Or send me the files?

Thks

Plz send me a copy I'm intrested!

Copy of what?? All I got to do is get the smoke and the explosion fixed up but afterwards the scop and warthog looked perfectly shiny as if nothing happened... And sry I reverted the files already...

Oh well I'would just like to know what to do to make a vehicle destuctable, like they do in the campaingn. Can anyone plz give me a short explanation?

Ok here is the short version of what I know. Every vehicle has a tag called *.model_collision_geometry. In this tag the vehicle's health is set. There is also an field for a "damaged" value which also you to control what the vehicle does when it reaches this value. Finally there is 2 fields for a damaged and a destroyed effect.

Sounds simple enough but there is a catch...

For vehicles like the ghost and banshee it is easy to just set the values but for vehicles like warthog and scorp, the model is not rigged to explode... Which is a pain. In addition, there is no "destroyed" version bitmap for the scorp or warthog. So... Ya.

Do you mean we need a model of a destroyed warthog?

The destroyed warthog's model should be a permutation of the undamaged warthog model.

So there we go: MODEL REQUESTS!

WE NEED EXPLODED:
-Warthog
-Scorpion
-Long sword
-Gun turret
-Pelican

Anyone willing to do some? Please start whit the warthog and Scorpion the others might already exist.

Make the asploded ones yourself. You can even do it in gmax.

eehhh well yes I can make them, but I'm not very artistic and I'm just asking here if anyone else likes to do some for my map what full credit of course! If noone wants to I do them myself.

But it won't be pitty tho ^^

the longsword alread blows up but it doesnt work right. if you can get it to blow it has somewhat of a 10 sec delay
