Creating custom building Ruins models

[Snake Man]

How to create custom building ruins models with working config?

I have uploaded few example building Ruins MLOD models as reference if anyone wants to study how BIS did them. Configs can be found from buildings.pbo of course.

Hi everybody

I'm trying to implement this feature ingame with my own BHD custom buildings.
see pictures:


and



First off, let me explain something:
To create a destroyable building you need to make a simple destryed model of it, then create a proper config.

the confdig should look like this:

#define ReadAndWrite 0
#define ReadAndCreate 1
#define ReadOnly 2
#define ReadOnlyVerified 3

#define private 0
#define protected 1
#define public 2

#define true 1
#define false 0

#define TEast 0
#define TWest 1
#define TGuerrila 2
#define TCivilian 3
#define TSideUnknown 4
#define TEnemy 5
#define TFriendly 6
#define TLogic 7

class CfgPatches
{
class yourclasc
{
units[] = {};
weapons[] = {};
worlds[] = {""};
requiredVersion = 0.1;
requiredAddons[] = {};
};
};
class CfgDestroy
{
access = ReadAndCreate;

class BuildingHit
{
sound[] = {};
};
};
class yourowndestructionclasseffect
{
class DestroyPhase1
{
simulation = "destroy";
type = "\ca\buildings\ruins\leseni4x_ruins.p3d";
//type = "\BHD_m\Slums\slum8_dest.p3d";
position = "";
intensity = 1;
interval = 1;
lifeTime = 1;
};
};
class CfgDestructPos
{
class DelayedDestruction
{
timeBeforeHiding = 0.2;
hideDuration = "0.65+lifeTime*0.05";
};
};
class CfgVehicles
{
class Thing;
class Building;
class Strategic;
class NonStrategic : Building
{
class DestructionEffects;
};
class HouseBase;
class Land_VASICore;
class House : HouseBase
{
class DestructionEffects;
};
class BHD_slum8: BHD_GenObject
{
scope= public;
model = "\BHD_m\Slums\slum8.p3d";
displayName = "Slum (8)";
destrType = "DestructBuilding";
class DestructionEffects : yourowndestructionclasseffect{};
};
};

well, this should be the config, as I found in the Buildings.pbo... but it doesn't work properly, I mean:

When you put the object ingame, you see it, so the implementation is right.
but when you destroy it, there's an error message coming up that says:
no entry "bin\config.bin/CfgDestructPos.\BHD_m\Slums\Slum8_dest.p3d"

it seems that it can't implement the model itself...
some suggestions guys?

I will soon be looking at creating some ruins for my building shortly - hope you make some progress with this

OH GOD!
read what Armored_sheep wrote on BI forum:

So, this time in ArmA we can use RTM animations also for buildings, and create some proper animations!

[Snake Man]

Hmm but then comes another question... how do we create RTM animations?

I'd say DeanosBeano would be the one to talk too... he's done lots of .rtm's for destroying buildings... have a look over at the Ofpec forums...
