Well, the title of the thread says it all... Because that would be so awesome to do... But I don't know if it's possible... I was thinking that using some sorta entities as the floor (for the floor grate things in Cosmic Prophet's scifi pack for example) and then make them fall when step in a trigger zone... or something like that, but I don't know how to make them not fall right in the beginning and so they wouldn't spawn but be there from the beginning...

Search for one of my threads dynamic floors and the breakable boards thread that some one else created and combine the two theories...

Your best bet is to have a static segment mesh with a dynamic Ismobile flag entity.Pretty much the same as a door segment with a death animation in other words break up.

I am not sure what the collision will be like.But entities can not walk on it and player collision isn't all that great but works most of the time.X10 is also not fond of it....

*Edit*

Yeah I checked the thread again... a few people complained I just never got around to doing a proper tutorial with pictures.

lol when I read it again I was thinking what the hell was I thinking?

Lol. Well, I don't think I need to email you about this, since I got it *kinda* working... But it doesn't fall unless you jump on it, so... But hey, jumping through basement filled with weird scifi technology and zombies is good excersise! XD (because there's a "platform" part in Lair of the Antichrist, lol)

You can animate it and have the auto door trigger applied to it.You would have to modify the the code a little to destroy it afterwords...

Create a dynamic entity using the same mesh and texture as your segment (one is available in the Egypt Model Pack). Leave a hole where the entity will go, and place a trigger zone on top of it.

In the trigger zone's main script, use plrinzoneactivateifused.fpi. Under the Trigger Zones if used box, put the name of your floor entity. In your floor entities main script, put:

:state=0:state=1
:state=1,activated=1:destroy

@Doomster, your script will be less robust than mine. By the looks of things, 75 units will destroy the floor before the player is actually on it, whilst you know what your getting with a trigger zone. Also, I'm not really sure what the plrhigher is for. The runfpidefault=2 also isn't necessary, as a destroy action is already available in the syntax.

I don't know if this answer was made before, but if you make the floor as an entity and you'd destroy if in zone (where you step on it) and spawn stuff to fall down at the same time, it would propably do a nice illusion of it breaking...

No, it actually won't, a triggerzone has a vertical/horizontal size of 100 units, means, the floor already crashes when your on the floors edge, 75 Units is more to the middle, so it crashes when your standing near the middle of the floor.

I've used the plrhigher, because I forgot if plrdistwithin takes the Player Height in consideration, didn't want the floor to crash when the player's underneath it, lol!

And using runfpidefault=2 or destroy doesn't really matter, as they're doing the same thing... I'm just used to it.

Both of our methods will work perfectly, tough.

Then use a timer delay and freeze the player...both will work. Although I guess it removes the need for plrhigher. Whatever works best for SekoIdiootti.

U can put debris = X in the fpe of the dynamic object, to fall into parts when u destroy it, you just need to call destroy into your fpi.

I used Marc's way to do it, and it works kinda nicely. Thanks Marc!
But there's one problem... It just disappears. It doesn't fall...

@SekoIdiootti, that was what I intended to happen, I didn't realise you wanted it to fall. Try the script below in the floor entity:

:state=0:state=1
:state=1,activated=1:moveup=-5,coloff

I post in this same thread, because I don't want to spam by posting hundreds of threads of my problems...
But all MP22 characters are invisible, when shader effects are on...
