Trick to destroy building

[Frag]

Hi guys,

 

I found few really old threads from like 2011 but was wondering if someone figured out how to do this. I would like to create a mission where you need to drop an LGU on a specific building to destroy it.

 

I would like to use a building that is already in a city. Is there a way to determine if the bomb fell on it?

 

I could set a target there (like a man) but it places a label, which I would like to avoid. I would want the player to recognize the building based on a map in the briefing ...not only shooting out a label.

 

Is there any invisible target I could use? Or make script call to know if a specific object id is destroyed (like in arma 3).

 

Any hints would be appreciated.

This thread helped me do what I believe you are trying to accomplish.

 

I wanted to announce in my mission that a particular bridge was destroyed. Worked perfectly.

Use the "Scenery Destruction Zone"

The easiest way is to use the condition "bomb in zone" and check for the different LGB types with OR conditions.

Another is to place a static object (e.g. Transformer or a tire) very close or attached to the building and check "Unit damaged" as that works for statics, as well.

Would it work with rockets? I remember vaguely that feature not being available for rockets.

Check Pikeys signature. https://forums.eagle.ru/member.php?u=62835

I think he has something for you. With his scripts you can define scenery targets that have to be destroyed.

Nope. No rockets, no gun ammo... and no "type" (all dumb bombs, all LGBs, all JDAM,etc.).

Pikeys script is a great solution!
