Lol like it. Would be a great game mode however.

It depends on the simulation and ruin type of the building. In the config "DestructionEffects" >> "Ruin1" >> "type" shows how the building's destruction will be handled. If this isn't empty string, then you can do as that comment describes. What actually happens is the building is moved 100m under the terrain and replaced by a ruin model. When you want to effect a repair, delete the ruin and setdamage 0 to the sunken building and it automatically leaps to the surface.

Many buildings do nothing when you damage them, so mission makers need to be careful which they choose

I did this on Altis builings:

getText (configFile >> "Vehicles" >> (typeOf cursorObject) >> "DestructionEffects" >> "Ruin1" >> "type")

giving me back empty strings: ""

 

I tried that code I posted in biki on those buidlings and it is working. Maybe the behaviour you describe is not a problem anymore?

Also the wreck models are deleted automatically after setting damage to 0.

 

Edit:I did a mistake with crawling the config.

I will try it again later.
