Exploding Objects

[EO 11277]

Adds destruction effects to various flammable related Eden objects. Search for "EO Exploding Objects" in the Asset Browser.

 

Object destruction is roughly based on three factors:

Size of object, distance from object, calibre of weapon fired.

This is a great addition to your many immersion creating mods.

 

Mission makers have been asking for these exploding objects for ages now and it shows just how great the Arma 3 community is in that it is the community content creators who answer the call most of the time.

 

Specially considering Arma 3 is on its End of Life and content lock other than third party content.

 

PS: Can't wait for that new secret project you have for all of us! It will bring so much added immersion!

Awesome dude, reminds me of Sniper Elite Nazi zombie Army!

Does this convert existing objects on the map?

No, only editor placed objects....to be honest when I first started on this I was hoping the effects would carry over to objects baked into the map but no dice.

But still this should be possible.

I haven't really look at the code though.

Did you tried ?

[EO 11277]

Yeah man, tried and failed many times over the past few days.....I've had a bit more of an insight about this from HorribleGoat, some terrain objects are set as non-destructible and some don't have house simulation, therefore it's just possible the objects covered in this mod have neither which is why "terrain baked" objects don't inherit the config change.

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

I think that you could hide the object on the explosion , as said i haven't see how you have create this.

The objects covered in the mod inherit the destruction effects from the flexible fuel tank (which is part of the Helicopters DLC)    

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

I was checking the terrain to find items like that but i tried in Stratis and Malden and there is nothing !

I don't know if these objects are used in other maps,

		"FlexibleTank_01_forest_F",
		"FlexibleTank_01_sand_F",
		"Land_MetalBarrel_F",
		"Land_CanisterFuel_F",
		"Land_CanisterFuel_Blue_F",
		"Land_CanisterFuel_Red_F",
		"Land_CanisterFuel_White_F",

		"Land_GasTank_01_khaki_F",
		"Land_GasTank_01_yellow_F",
		"Land_GasTank_02_F",
		"Land_WeldingTrolley_01_F"

 

Here is a working script though ,

So by changing the GF_EXO_Array you can set your exploding objects.

 

If you want you can have any part of the code , but it's a totally different approach.

Very nice George, indeed much more is possible with clever scripting but I'll stick with the humble config tweak.

class DestructionEffects
{
	class HouseDestr
	{
		intensity=1;
		interval=1;
		lifeTime=0.1;
		position="";
		simulation="destroy";
		type="DelayedDestructionAmmoBox";
	};
};

Cool stuff EO

[anfo 118]

Is a script possible as well, or does this have to be clientside?

[EO 11277]

@anfo,

The mod is a simple config tweak, i'm not sure it can be converted into a script, even if it could scripts aren't my strong point. You could always try using George's exploding objects script a few posts above this one, it offers far more options than this.

Regarding the client-side thing, again I'm not really sure as I play mostly SP, with that being said I'm guessing since it changes the configuration of some objects, if they were used in a MP scenario both client and server would need the mod loaded for maximum enjoyment, I included a server key to cover this.  

[Heero Yuy 5]

I agree, but I do not agree with the size of the explosions, and should only explode with the use of tracer or incendiary ammunition.

[EO 11277]

Some make mods for realism, some make mods for fun, I make mods for fun....isn't that the beauty of Arma? 

[EO 11277]

Exploding Objects has been updated with a Transfer Switch, Portable Generator, Power Generator and a Railway Car Tanker.
