A question about destructable objects...

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

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

Surely it would just explode where the .MSH was?

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?

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

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