place something you know the name of beside the building and use

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/nearestBuilding

to assign the building a name.

then you can watch damage of the building.

#loop

Just drop a trigger on the building, set the radius to 0, and set it to not present. Then close the trigger dialog and group the trigger to the building. Anything you want to happen can be execed in the on act field.

You may want to have a look at my burning buildings app. It gets alerted when any building in the town is destroyed.

Put a gamelogic on the buiding called say, pos2 and put something like this in the activation

getDammage (getPos pos2 nearestObject 302314) >0.9

Change the 302314 to what ever the ID is of the building you want to detect destroyed.

You may have to make the 0.9 closer to 1, but it should work.
