Pre-destroyed buildings

[MichaelCO 10]

Is there a way for a building to be destroyed form the start if a mission? Or in other words, can I destroy a building in the editor?

Destroy it using the map ID number and setDamage. Search the forums, there's been tons of threads about it. :)

Is there a way to destroy a specific part? Also how would I format that?

Thank you, sorry for asking the same question again.

Can't really destroy part of a building if it doesn't have a separate ID, like this building had an awning left standing while the main building was destroyed:

This will work perfectly.

Thank you so much for the descriptive pictures, help and time. I really appreciate it.

Wow PMC Pictures, how did you get that [Non-relevant question]

EDIT 1:

Oh wait is that XM8 from ArmA 2 -.-

and the PMC is BAF -.-

You can't use setHit, and can't use eg. setdamage 0.6?

Thank you Kylania, that has helped me understand the bloody awful mess it is to identify a building.

You can also create a trigger, group it to the object and have this in its on act field:

{_x hideObject true} forEach thislist;

or

{_x setDamage 1} forEach thislist;

When did hideObject get reactivated for buildings? Was a time when I couldn't get this to work...

Yeah, just me pretending that PMC was actually out on the date it said when I'd preordered instead of having to spend my 5 day holiday weekend waiting for silly ARMEX to be fixed and not playing the PMC campaign. :j:
