Changing destructible XYZ scales

[cleavinghammer]

Is there a setting in the editor that lets you change the X, Y and Z scales independently on destructibles like you can with doodads? I can only change the X, causing the other two keep the same proportions.

 

[Warseeker]

Not possible, unless you base it on a doodad or a unit instead.

You mean the model? It is a doodad (the waterfall), but I can't modify the height for some reason.

If the minimum and maximum height has the same number in the object editor you can't change its size. Change minimum or maximum scale to be able to alter its scale.

Nope, still doesn't work.

Even for destructibles that start with different min/max scales like trees, you can only shrink or grow them proportionally.

Is it a doodad or a destructible? You said this;

It's a destructible using a doodad model.


I'm trying to make a destructible that looks like a flat waterfall and there doesn't seem to be a "Destroy Doodad" trigger.

You can hide the doodad.

Or if you absolutely need to destroy it then just base it on an invulnerable locust unit.

 

[cleavinghammer]

Yeah, I'm resigning myself to the first one, which is bringing its own problems.

You'd think there'd be a trigger to avoid this kind of workaround or just allowing destructibles to be disproportional.

 

[FeelsGoodMan]

Yeah, I'm resigning myself to the first one, which is bringing its own problems.

If you're talking about pathing issues then you can make the doodad itself have no pathing, then make it unpathable with pathing blockers. When you hide the doodad you simply kill the pathing blockers.

 

[cleavinghammer]

No, it's not pathing, it's the SFX, now I have to create dummies for every one instead of simply using the destructibles' positions.

Thank anyway.
