Begin In Chaos!

Hey everyone!
Does anyone know of a code that can start a base off with destruction such as craters, destroyed buildings and knocked-over trees? I'd be very grateful if someone could help !
Thanks!

if you switch on the id numbers in the editor you can see the corresponding id codes for buildings. in your init file, just use

Code: [Select]

object nnnnnn setdamage 1
of course, you may want to set the sound to 0 and have a fairly long blackout at the very start, otherwise your mission will begin with the sound of the landscape being torn to bits....

That wont work for craters... The easist way is  to just start the mission and do fadesound 0 and then create a dozen or so LASERGUIDEDBOMBs around where you need the busted place to be.

Also I'm assuming you already know how to do this, if not I can post how.

to start of with a crater set the sound to 0
then cam create a shell over a marker where you want the crater to appear
to cam create a shell use

Code: [Select]

shell_name = "heat120" camcreate getpos A2then finaly set the sound back to 1

You can add craters as objects with General Barrons' Editor Upgrade, I believe.

Hey guys!
Thanks for your help everyone. I'll do what bedges suggested and use the deleteVehicle [unit] with the this setDammage 1 command. A newbie of my calaibre should stick to things more simple !
