Trees leaving stumps and other permanent objects.

[ripper24]

Hey guys, I'm trying to stop the trees in my map from leaving stumps/other models behind after being chopped down. I've tried messing around with the stats and things but to no avail.

Any help is appreciated, but if you know its impossible, just tell me lol.

Detect when a tree dies, then remove it from the game (if its possible).

 

[ripper24]

Sorry MortAr, thats not working. :/

 

[MortAr]

Hmm.. I made 2 tests, both worked fine. The tree didn't left any other models when I killed it and then hide/remove it from the game.

 

[ripper24]

Please please please explain as best you can how you did that.

• Events
  • Destructible - A destructible dies within Playable Map Area
• Conditions
  • (Destructible-type of (Dying Destructible)) equal to TreeType
• Actions
  • Wait (Duration of Death anim) seconds
  • Destructible - Remove (Dying Destructible) from the game

I know it's not perfect, but I'm sure MortAr- will correct me.

I'm guessing the "Duration of Death anim" is a variable? I'm not very familiar with variables. Please explain.

You don't need a Wait, idodik.
Simply use that trigger without the Wait.
ripper24, you can always visit Tutorials for basic troubles

No offence, this isn't really helping. The wait time doesn't change anything if its longer than the death animation time, so really the variable is irrevelant.

So it's still not working.

Sorry idiodk for questioning you, it indeed needs a wait.

 

[ripper24]

Is still Idiodk posting? I can't see any other posts than his trigger example.

And thanks a lot Pharoah, though I don't understand why mine didn't work, they're so similar. Thanks also Idiodk.

 

[ripper24]

Okay sorry guys, I don't know why now. But I've used the exact same trigger that Pharaoh gave me, which I tested on his map and it worked, and its not working on mine. Tree stumps are still being left on the ground which I can't get rid of.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Pm me the map; I'll check if something else is interfering.

 

[ripper24]

Does this mean I have to upload the map somewhere and link it to you?

 

[Pharaoh_]

If you don't bother, unless you want to tell us what other triggers you have and everything concerning the Harvest ability.

Alright, bare with me a minute.
