Damage on buildings

[Verdun]

Hi everyone

So far I had no luck finding this out on my own, so I wondered: How do you create the damage-sequences for buildings (for example that the building starts burning when it's attacked) ? I looked at unit models on Notepad and I didn't find any animation called "damage" or something like that.

(I'm using Gmax and Mago's Model Editor)

There are attachment points called sprites where fire will automatically spawn when the building takes damage. Just place them where you want the fire to be and the game will handle the rest.

Thanks a lot, Argus!

That sounds easy enough, but oh boy, is that info useful to me

Glad I could help, also I forgot to mention that they are called "Sprite First", "Sprite Second", etc. so keep that in mind if you're using several of them.
