BLOWING THINGS UP!

Broondi

I know this may sound dumb but here it goes:

How do I take a chunk out of the ground

For instance: a nuke falls from the sky and hits the ground, how would you make it that when it explodes it leaves a crater

How would I make that or is it imposible

Thanks

Place an actor with a hole in it.

For example if this is your ground:

---

You could add an actor where the bomb hits that looks like this:

\/

And it would make the ground look like this:

--------\/--------

You can use my art if you like, free of charge

would i do that with spawn actor?

Broondi

And how would you delete the background behind the _/?

quantumsheep

Yep, spawn the actor.

If you know the height of your ground, you spawn the actor at the same Y position.

As to the background behind the _/

Well, you would make that the same colour as the general background.

So you're essentially placing a 'fake' hole in the ground with a square actor.

This thread inspired me to play with the idea of 'destructible ground', attached is what I came up with if you want to check it out. Click the white rectangle to launch a cannon ball.

It basically fakes the destruction like @quantumsheep describes, it's not perfect but not bad either.
