A question about destructable objects...

Rekubot · Post by **Rekubot** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 1:37 pm

I know it's possible to make every object destruct, but is it possible to make every object destruct with an explosion? I've been using other ODFs to make myg1_bldg_med_spiral destructable, but every time it's health reaches zero it just - disappears. Any suggestions? Here's my myg1_bldg_med_spiral ODF's.

myg1_bldg_med_spiral looks like this:

Code: Select all

[GameObjectClass]       

ClassLabel      =   "destructablebuilding"
GeometryName    =   "myg1_bldg_med_spiral.msh"


[Properties]        
GeometryName    =   "myg1_bldg_med_spiral"
DestroyedGeometryName  = "myg1_bldg_med_spiral_ruin"
ExplosionName = "myg1_bldg_med_spiral_exp"
MaxHealth  = "7000"

SoundProperty = "electric_hum"

FoleyFXGroup    = "metal_foley"
SoundProperty = "neon_buzz_low"

myg1_bldg_med_spiral_ruin looks like this:

Code: Select all

[GameObjectClass]       

ClassLabel      =   "prop"
GeometryName    =   "myg1_bldg_med_spiral_ruin.msh"


[Properties]        

GeometryName    =   "myg1_bldg_med_spiral_ruin"


FoleyFXGroup    = "metal_foley"

And myg1_bldg_med_spiral_exp looks like this:

Code: Select all

[ExplosionClass]      
ClassLabel      =   "explosion"

[Properties]        
LifeSpan = "0.2"
Damage = "400.0"
DamageRadius = "1000.0"
Shake = "10.0"
ShakeRadius = "80.0"
Effect = "com_sfx_explosion_lg"
ArmorScale = "5.0"
HealthScale = "1.0"
ShieldScale = "5.0"

NumChunks = "5"
ChunkGeometryName = "com_smallchunk1"
ChunkTerrainCollisions = "10"
ChunkTrailEffect = "com_sfx_chunktrail_xs"
ChunkPhysics = "FULL"
ChunkOmega = "5.0 4.0 5.0"
ChunkSpeed = "5.0 10.0"
ChunkStartDistance = "1.0"
SoundProperty = "com_weap_obj_small_exp defer"

Any ideas on what I've done wrong? Thanks in advance.

why did you make the object an animatedbuilding?

Change it to destructablebuilding

Rekubot · Post by **Rekubot** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 2:04 pm

I did that as soon as I posted the topic

. Still makes no difference.

also the odf of the destroyed geometry has no relevance.

DestroyedGeometryName simply refers to a msh.

effects need a hp to display the effect.

explosions upon death of an object don't need a hard point

Rekubot · Post by **Rekubot** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 2:17 pm

Surely it would just explode where the .MSH was?

Post by **-_-** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 2:37 pm

I've tried it xwingguy

the location of the hp is the "origin" of the effect.

I'm looking at the rebel engines and I don't see any hp that is connected with the ExplosionName.

So is there any reason at all why the explosion just isn't happening?

Post by **-_-** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 4:18 pm

They dont NEED to be reference in an odf. It automaticlly finds one that's on the model

Rekubot · Post by **Rekubot** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 4:22 pm

Which basically means that I have to edit the MSH. Darn. Well, non-destructable it is then.
