Lately gamers have been introduced to 'fully destructible' environments, especially in Crysis.
At first glance it looks like Trespasser is quite incapable of doing this when that is not true, it's possible to make trees fall, to pull out ferns, make ferns sway when touched and even to make cool landslides if handled with care.
My first attempt was sort of my way to honor the idea that DWI once had that Anne would rip out certain vegetation and use it to heal herself or cover her scent. I actually made ferns that could be torn from the earth 
What you need is a fern with a physics object on the stem, and a magnet holding it in place with the following value table (TScript):
| Code: | string Class = "CMagnet"
bool Breakable = true
float BreakStrength = 50.000000
string SlaveObject = "FernInstance" |
And that should work! I think there's a way to apply 1 magnet to all instances or something... but that's Draco's/someone else's department, I wasn't too proficient with magnets I'm afraid.
Also, in my PF (MOT entry) level, there were trees that could be knocked over by the Albertasaurus, this was handled by the Frozen value and a trigger that was activated when the Alberta made contact with the tree... just sniff around the level for a full explanation as I can't remember who I did that entirely.
All kinds of things can be made destructible, the Plantation house in Jungle Road is all ready set up as a destroyable building too, so go check that out when you can.

Hmmm, I would assume this Thread stems in part from a particular discussion we had RE: another idea DWI never implemented? I had surmised that it was to be done in this manner but thanks for clarifying bits here and there... next week I think I'll create a test zone to perfect it prior to use
