Hello George !

I m really in love with your scripts. And now with this one. It work well with my Ravage mission :)

 

Question: Is it possible to add a delay time for like 2 or 3 second before the building start collapsing. This is because once the earthquake began, building collapse in the same time. Like I don't have time to run out of the buiilding. Just start earthquake 2sec later building collapse. Thank you

Sorry for keeping you wait.!

 

In order to do this you need just to add :

 

sleep 2;

before the destruction like :

	
_earthquake_8 = {
	//	systemchat "case 8 destroy nearObjects and wait some time before start";
	[4] call bis_fnc_earthquake;
	sleep (4 + random 4);	// Give some time to the player , to get out from a building
	{_x setDamage 1} forEach Destructive_radius;
	};

Hello George it's me again ^^

 

Sorry to ask this, I know it isnt from your script. But if you are familiar with Ravage mod, you may know that Ravage spawn fourniture inside building. So some times, after collapse, the fourniture stay in the air. If not possible no problem :)

 

Also is it possible to add a trigger in a place in Editor where the script will not run. For example when setting a camp base, I don't want that place to collapse because i place units and other stuff.

Thank you a lot.

Hello there MisterOth !

 

For the spawned furnitures is part of Ravage code , so i don't think that i can to do something to prevent the floating.

 

It is possible though , to damage everything , maybe this will destruct as well also the spawned things .

One other better idea is to delete everything in the destruction area.

 

I haven't think about creating Safe zones , it is possible but  need to check about this.

 

One fast solution for now is to disable the destruction.

 

Since you told me , i will check it and tell you.

See you !

This will also update soon and a Mod version will be included as well !

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

The script is ready and tommorow i will pack also the mod version.

 

The main change is that before , for some kind of reason BIS_fnc_destroyCity

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_destroyCity

was creating the destroyed buildings back to new.

 

There will be also blacklistzones , in order to keep a base for example safe.

Everything now is more random and more options added.

Very nice, 

Will players in or near buildings receive damage when the buildings collapse? 

 

It would be cool if you have to flee the city you are currently looting to get out of the danger zone:)

The player can get killed ,

if he is inside a building or close and in some occasions , there is some extra little time to get out ,  before the big destructive Earthquake !

It's fun and some times terrifying as well !
