Creating invisible and visible craters? | Forums

[rlmergeuser]

Hi guys I want to have some craters be invisible and then visible when an explosion goes off, is this possible somehow? I have tried the visibility event but it won't let me select the crater.

check the object properties of the crater and look for a way to turn it of and on

maybe state event works but i'm not near xbox

or maybe changining the height helps(the flatten height,.. thing)

or maybe you can change the height of the crater icon you could move it up with ope and it might change the depth this way

It's not possible. I even checked to see if you could use an Object Position Event to make it snap to the desired location.

Does the decal option have "pick value target" as an option at the bottom of the screen?

i tried and its imposible to change anything from the terrain(except while editing)
none of the properties can be assinged to a datascource and events can't affect the terain modification icon

Maybe you could add rubble which hides the crater, and then you make the rubble invisible when the explosion happens.

Thanks for the reply's guy's. I will just leave it and have the craters there. Bit of a missed opportunity by Redlynx there.

i would like to know if this is possible also. i ended up covering the crater with objects and having them explode to show the crater but its not what i was hoping to do. maybe they can add stuff like this in dlc.
