Destroying an Object Multiple Times

Caught up in a design workflow fork, the route I'm considering involves multiple destruction's. Done some searching and know a bit about structure; but knowing if the following works with a link or example would be awesome:
Is it possible via LUA (or otherwise) to Transform an Object into a Different Object, with health, on destruction with an animated effect.
The idea is a Prop or Building is partially destroyed but has health remaining to be destroyed more. This is a popular effect; glass cups to fortifying barriers.
Figure it's possible. Not sure. No rush.
Thanks in advance!

You might be able to do this via Lua scripting with the OnObjectDamage event handler. It'd look something like this:
Code: Select all
propDamage = OnObjectDamageName(
function(object, damager)
if GetObjectHealth(object) < 100 then
SetProperty(object, "GeometryName", "new_msh_file_name")
end
end,
"object_class_name"
)
Parts of this might be wrong, but otherwise that's the basis of what would the code block might look like.
Refer to
Battlefront2_scripting_system.doc for more information.

Awesome. Thanks. Stuck on binary; was looking for "destroy" or "dest".

I agree with Marth
but maybe the code needs to extend a bit.
IMPORTANT: your object needs to be
Code: Select all
ClassLabel = "destructablebuilding"
instead of "prop". Props can't be destroyed ingame or via LUA.
Try this:
Code: Select all
objectName = "my_object_name" -- You need specify what object
OnObjectDamage(
function(object, damager) --
if GetObjectHealth(objectName) < 1000 then -- Set a number near the max health. First destruction.
SetProperty(objectName, "GeometryName", "new_msh_file_name") -- First change of geometry
KillObject(objectName) --Object dissapears...
RespawnObject(objectName) -- ...and respawn in les than eye closes! :D
SetProperty(objectName, "MaxHealth", 999)
SetProperty(objectName, "CurHealth", 999)
elseif GetObjectHealth(objectName) < 700 then -- Set a number near the second max health. second destruction.
SetProperty(objectName, "GeometryName", "second_msh_file_name") -- second change of geometry
KillObject(objectName) --Object dissapears...
RespawnObject(objectName) -- ...and respawn in les than eye closes! :D
SetProperty(objectName, "MaxHealth", 699)
SetProperty(objectName, "CurHealth", 699)
elseif GetObjectHealth(objectName) < 500 then -- Set a number near the third max health. Third destruction.
SetProperty(objectName, "GeometryName", "second_msh_file_name") -- Third change of geometry
KillObject(objectName) --Object dissapears...
RespawnObject(objectName) -- ...and respawn in les than eye closes! :D
SetProperty(objectName, "MaxHealth", 499)
SetProperty(objectName, "CurHealth", 499)
-- If you need more destructions copy from "elseif" to the line above and set new values
end
)
Finally your destructable building needs a destroyed geometry and chunks, that add more realism. Hope help you.

As soon as I test it; BOOM video example/confirmation. I'll let you know.
Was asking early on because I can do the multi-part destruction when doing the binary destruction; saves time (a lot, actually, and looks better). Thanks so much for that.
