Buildings? Options

[Tore]

I have been searching the mixes and I found out that nearly every building has a 3rd damaged frame, is it possible to add that last frame then the health bar reaches red? If not the 3rd frames could be good add on to maps.

Yar, I wass thinking of using the 3rd frame of building damage for the TCM -
abandoned buildings from the last tiberium war, like the TD ones you see in TS

Walls use 3 damagelevels.
in art.ini they have the tag DamageLevels=3. Maybe this works with a little hack on normal buildings too. (not tested yet)

Well I found something interesting, this tag,
ExtraDamageStage=false.
It seems all buildings have this set to false, other than the walls which don't have the tag at all.
Peculiar isn't it.

Non of this works IIRC, Master SMIFFSTER has looked into it a number of times, i should look into this too...

imo they can't work as a damage frame for the red level, because the whole game depends on only 2 damagelevels. You have only ActiveAnimDamage and no anim for third stage. In addition many other buildings like Warfactorys have only 2 damagelevels for the door and other special anim stuff.

The only way i could imagine, how they can be used, is to extract them and make them as a destruction anim. Each building would then get its specific explosion anim. This would be similar to the way it was in TD, where the third damage frame was used for the short second before the building finally exploded.
