the sake of reality

how about someone make a pack of fallen trees

What do you want them for?

It is possible to knock individual trees over by using setDammage 1.

1. Use an editor update (Mikero's Editor 103 is probably best) - this allows you to place objects in the Mission Editor that are normally hidden by the game engine.

2. Place the player as a unit to view the action.

3. Now you can place all sorts of inanimate objects. They are under 'Side: Empty'. When using Mikero's, trees are listed under 'EU - Trees'.

4. Write the following in the initialization line of the tree:

Code: [Select]

this setPos [(getPos this select 0), (getPos this select 1), 1]; this setDammage 1The setPos ... getPos line raises the trunk of the tree 1 metre of the ground.
The setDammage 1 line fells the tree.

Note: the tree falls in the direction it is heading in the Mission Editor. With an Azimuth of 0 it falls North, 90 is East.


Issues: because the tree has been destroyed, it is rendered insubstantial: it can be walked or shot through. I guess this could be got round by placing more trees and setPosing them under the ground so only their tops show, or by mixing bushes / fences with it.
