Title: Destroyed Clutter
Post by: Raptor on February 09, 2007, 02:27:11 PM

It has been mentioned before, that trees, shrubs, etc. should be able to be destroyed. How about doing like any destroyable object in the game and creating a dead shape for destroyed trees. If a bomb hits a forest, perhaps all trees within the blas radius could appear broken in half with the upper half falling over with no leaves on the tree.
If a tank shell hits a tree, only the tree that is hit will appear to be destroyed. Down time for the clutter could be an hour.

This picture of the upcoming terrain updates would be similar to what I am talking about. All trees are undamages, except for one which was hit by a tank shell or rocket.

No, making "dead" shapes is relatively simple.

It would be the same as any other object in AH. When you destroy a hangar, there is a "dead shape" which is basically a destroyed hangar that doesn't use any more resources than the original shape.

I like this idea. Also theres beaches now and I really love the new textures.
