I was trying to board up an area with breakable planks. How do we go about this?

 

We do not have breakabe planks yet. Technically, it could be setup so that the plank breaks, but we don't have "partly broken planks", so it couldn't realistically break into pieces.

 

You could create the pieces in the editor, then assemble them into complete "planks", put them into place and give them "health" "1", then when they die, trigger a script that replaces the complete piece with a few "broken" parts.

 

It's doable, but a lot of fiddle work.

1) If I don't have a broken model, then I assume it won't ever break...right?

2) Does it actually save the converted func_static models somewhere so I can point to them, or will I have to create the broken pieces in the void, then point to the func_static (converted brush) of <assigned_editor_modelname> for when the plank breaks?

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
