Game Logic Making map trees indestructible

[outwardpanicjoe 13]

Trying to make some map trees and another map object not fall over due to artillery strikes in which the cover makes it unplayable so I was trying to find a way to make the map objects not take damage or at least increase their resistance.

Sounds like you're looking for the `Edit Terrain Object` module. It's found under F5 > `Environment`.

EDIT:
There's a checkbox to Enable Damage... Uncheck it.

To my knowledge, you can't manipulate trees like this. The same is true for some walls/fences/etc.

 

Here's a lone tree that has had damage disabled via Edit Terrain Object module:

 

What you can do is replace the terrain object trees with editor-placed or script-spawned trees.

 

The former will require a mod that adds trees to the object list in Eden. Unfortunately, this will likely create a mod dependency for the mission. It will also require each tree to be replaced by hand (not a big deal if there are only a few you want to replace.) There were a couple of mods that added ALL objects to Eden without dependency, but they've been broken for years. There is Eden Extended Objects, but from what I can tell, it doesn't add new objects from Malden or Livonia - it hasn't been updated since Jan 2018. There may be others. CUP Terrain Core adds CUP trees, but not A3 vanilla trees.

 

Not sure about the latter. You would need a script that replaces the map objects with fully simulated objects that can be manipulated with allowDamage etc.

I recall that you're able to spawn trees and other 'vanilla' terrain objects with script commands. I was too lazy to learn the scripting. Instead I included things like streetlamps and trees in missions by using editor extension mods and then manually removing the dependency from mission.sqf with a text editor. But we have more options today. 

Perhaps placing a composition like this could spawn the tree:

You could also script the creation of the trees by following this guide using createSimpleObject with damage disabled:

Unsupported features include PhysX, damage, AI pathfinding (causes walking through walls), and built in lights.

 

So yeah, any trees spawned as simple objects will be invincible by default.
