Destrucable/collapsible sandbags

[3k.Baxter 0]

Hi

First off im a newbie at moding, however im a programmer as profession (if it helps?!?). I would appriciate some help getting started modding Arma, links etc.

The idea I have commes from a movie I saw in the past about destrucable buildings

and movie2.

I always thought that the sandbags where to static, you can pund on them with explosives but nothing "interesting" happens. Wouldnt it be nice if you partialy could destroy them based in what you fire at them? Individual bags would fly off etc... Refering back to the vid above, it looks possible.

Now...what am I up against here? Since im totaly new to modding Arma. And is there a mod like this in existence already?

i have 1 question:

if we have a full city with those destructive buildings will we lag alot, much, few, none?

i fear to lag with this new feature..

In moderation anything will work. If you have a full server with people using custom weapons that are mostly eyecandy and vehicles all over the place it will lag anyways.

If you were to drop a nuke, like ive seen somewhere in a video, it would cause mega lag.

Special care will be taken with having proper distance lods....

Falluja Island with be totally destructible

As far as sandbags, we also have a working set up for different sandbag emplacements and bunkers.

I totally agree on the staticness of sandbags, thats why they needed to be setup differently.

Yes there is a mod already dealing with destruction. Its DBO_BRICKs project.

As the vids shows it looks possible to do individual bags.
