I have this idea boiling in my mind right now about a design of one of the levels I'll create with FPSC. The idea is regular looking walls break apart after being shot a few times. I guess this would be controlled by a script?

It would be a lot of fun to completely destroy a level and sneak attack enemy bots. It's my MGS mentality.

If this is possible, it also might be possible to place a trigger event on that wall you're destroying, so it could have after effects. For example, maybe there is pipes and wires in the walls. It would toss out sparks and steam. And if the enemy ai was stupid enough to try and pass through and attack you, he'd receive damage.

Soon these bots will be tortured in my hell! muahahaha.

I don't think that's within the limits of FPSC.

In the video, he shoots out some windows and walks through. I would assume it would be just as easy to do the same thing to a portion of wall.

You can do this - you simply use an entity wall (a wall that looks just like the static walls). You can then blast it apart to reveal a secret room etc.

Hi that sounds very promising and a good idea.
Can you fire an enemy through a wall?

You *can* do that, but from what I saw, you should probably restrict the number of walls that you do it with.

The speed of the engine is all down to a portal-type system determining what you can see at each point. Anything beyond a potential portal (doors, windows or destroyable walls) will be calculated and drawn even if you can't see through that portal all of the time.

yes. i must say that that system is getting to be very useful....

Any chance of the concept behind this so we can try and do the same?

Lee told us that the ability to generate portal visibility type systems will be released into the Basic3D DLL at some point in the future. He doesn't want to do it right now, until the command set he uses has settled down.

That sounds like something to really look forward to in the future!

I'm not so worried about pushing the limits of the engine. It'll be fun to see how much we can toss in to a game to make it more entertaining.
