HOW TO MAKE DESTRUCTABLE PARTS OF A BUILDING

The best way I think wourld be to cut the mesh (pillar) into about 10-50 dibris objects and then puzzle it together in the editor..
Shooting at the pillar with a 7,62 bullet wourld remove one debris, a shootgun 2-4 or something, and a handgranade or bazooka wourld tear it down 90%.. (Not sure what script to use.)

I did find a great exampel on Youtube, even if its not as detailed as I want it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0qbDTCnObQ

I have never done this so I wonder if You know a tutorial or a script that courld work with this, The Guy Who made that Youtube video had this exampel at FPS-Free for download. Anyone knows were?

All information of intrest...

You don't really need as much as 50 debris parts, as in most games destructible pillars etc only have a few bits fly off before they get to the "I have been shot to bits look" then they become inactive to fire apart from bullet marks etc.

It's easy enough to do as pretty much as you said above. Especially for things like pillars as they tend to be evenly spaced out in rooms etc. So just a matter of building your centre (shot to bits look) pillar as 0,0 co-ords in your modelling app and placing the shootable outer parts at the same location. Then just hit the "B" button twice to lock to grid and place all your parts in the same place giving you a shootable pillar.

Of course make the centre part strength = 0 (I would suggest making it static for light mapping etc) and the outer parts dynamic and whatever strength you wish them to be for the damage required to destroy them.
