Destructable Buildings

by Sean Arronge · in Torque Game Engine · 01/08/2007 (10:22 am) · 5 replies

Im starting to make building objects. I was wondering if anyone has made a building destruction resource yet? and if not how can this be acheived? I was thinking 3 lvls of destruction no damage state, a texture switch medium damage state. then destroyed building model state.

Are you talking about interiors or just shapes that look like buildings? Implementation of destructible buildings as shapes is pretty easy. Making interiors destructible will require a bit more work.

Sean,
I just stumbled across a thread that might help; it allows you to change textures on DIF interiors, and specifically mentions building damage as one application.

I haven't tried it yet, so I can't vouch for it personally.

That changes the textures, not the geometry. It is a great resource, though.

Cool thanks for the input.Yeah i geuss that gets me half way there....because the finale would be a destroyed building object.i guess that would be implemented by another dif object that looks like debris.

Why not use LOD? and change the LOD based on a damage varable?
