Hi all,
i am new, i am an amuture modeler, and i have a graphic question. I want to make a wall, but when you damage it enough it is (partially) destroyerd. So then you see another (partially) destroyed model of the wall.
Now my question: any tips on what to do. Do i make a destroyed wall and put a layer over it that is the whole wall, so that when the top layer is gone you see the second layer that is the destroyed wall?
Or do i just make 2 or more different models of the same wall and can the Engine then exchange the models without problems?
Which way is best to go for the game engine?
Any tips would be very helpfull!
thanks in advance,
Dan

see Shapebase Class
you can set Shapebase objects destructible level info. telling it how many hits it has, what object to swap to on destruction, what partical effect to run when its destroyed.
Its up to you, but the Shapebase way doesn't use any external dependencies and is fully multi player enabled, the PhysX way gives you more options, is more realistic but depends on the PhysX plugin and isn't multi player enabled.

There are 2 ways to go, the PhysX way as Stab says and the Shapebase waysee Shapebase Class
