use geom1 of static instead of 0

[Mineral]

hey, I was wondering if there was a way to make an object use the geom1 (dest version) from the start instead of the normal one. Without re-exporting them. It's about the house_dest series. Is there a way? Or is there even a way to make them use the dest version? (how is this coded,cause they can't seem to be destroyed) and then spawn a invisible object inflicting damage at the start of round to make it destroy itself as a work around?

That help at all?

[Mineral]

thank you

[Mineral]

so, I tried making the house_dest series only show their dest geometry with coding similar to other destroy-able buildings. But it keeps giving me a CTD without an error. It's almost 100% the same as the bunkers on kashan.

I'll drop in all the code I got. Quite a few people are interested in this technique so any help would be appreciated.

Hey, any news on this? Would be great if someone could get it working.

[{ZW}C-LOKE]

Why not take a look at the propane tank in stock bf2 for some cross-reference ideas on this? But if I remember correctly on destructable objects in BF2 engine, they need to be modeled and exported like a vehicle, complete with wreck LOD and mesh. Could be wrong on that, but that's what I remember. But on this last assertion, a heavy feeling of "could be wrong".

Also you could try checking into the destroyable PR bridges. I'll bet that between these two items I've mentioned, plus whatever item you're basing your project off of, there is some code that they each link to. Other than that, don't know what to tell you man. Good luck.

[Rhino]

One thing you can try is giving it a critical damage of 1, and start hp of 1, so that it collapses into a wreck a second after the round starts?

You should also name the statics better, like "*_wreck"?

[AfterDune]

Good one. And remove the destruction effects too for that matter .

[Onil]

I'm using this for Dovre PR:Z version.

It is working fine.

I did notice that most wrecked states don't match the actual normal houses, as in there are walls where windows used to be. Only a small number actually has matching wrecks and I suppose that is why the house_dest were never really used as destroyables in PR.

Also, the 2 level house_dest has no coll for the wreck state which means that the windows are bugged and you can't fire out of some. This is fixed in BGF's version but while they fixed the coll of the wreck, they screwed the normal house's coll in which some windows are now bugged. So in both cases, you not use it as a destroyable but you can use either version depending if you want it standing or wrecked.

[Ason]

could you/someone explain how to do it? I don't know which files to modify and how to modify them.

[Onil]

I advise that you just use the normal house_dest versions for now, since if you use the current PR ones or the duplicated wreck versions, both will need light-maps for both standing and wreck states.

Then when the map is almost complete, you can simply replace the ones you want to be a wreck, which is what I'm doing in Dovre. Once i'm done duplicating them and tweaking them, I can upload the files for whoever wants to use them.

[Ason]

Great Onil, maybe you can send me a PM when they are ready or just post it here
