I spent 3 hours at a time working on a video game.


I have over 1000 hours in FPSC since November 07 (Alt account, can't sign in for some reason)


Ahhh the old days when you had to get fpsc off an ftp.

Still not a good engine to do it in, given the nearest it has to destructibility is pre-animated non-physical meshes...

Some stock crates in fpsc are destroyable. You could either scale them up and give them a building texture, then set them as explodable. Or your could somehow animate the building to be destoryable. One of those might work.

He is still right anyway... not the good engine for things like that. Fractionable meshes are calculated by a physics engine, and the current physycs system is far from that.

It'd look terrible, I'm sorry.

It needs to crumble and fall apart, not just go boom and the sides fly off...

The ways most people do is in a modeling program. They cut holes in the model and set those as groups. Keep frame 1 with the non-destroyed version. Then Frame 2+ should all be the building falling apart. Make the entity dynamic and set a destroy script.

Something like that...

...this is definitely on the right track. I've used this type of illusion countless times, without disappointment. Clever scripting and flawless entity registration are key.

This blast from the past will help point you in the right direction:
