Dr.Fusselpulli Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 How can I make collapsed buildings in the editor? In shock force its possible to create ruines, houses on level zero. But I can't find this feature in Battle for Normandy. It must be in the game, because there are collapsed buildings in some other scenarios like in "a delaying action". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Fusselpulli Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Nope... it changes the windows, and I can make holes in the walls, but it dont want to make the building collapsed. Or am I just wrong? :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 If you Ctrl+alt+leftclick through until you have the rubble on all four walls, the building will be collapsed in-game. It doesn't immediately change to rubble in the editor though. Mainly so you can easily resurrect the building by going through the Ctrl+alt+leftclick cycle again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Fusselpulli Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 It still don´t seems to work. I have make two test buildings on a map, one with 4 holes in the walls, the other with no walls. I saved it as a scenario, but also in the game during the playable phase it won´t collapse by itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Oops, maybe the combo needed is CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT CLICK. I suppose I should open the game and remind myself... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Fusselpulli Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 No response. I feel stupid. Why doesn't it work? Nothing happens in the 2D editor with ctrl+shift+left click, alt+ctrl+left click, alt+shift+left click... even combinations with tab or caps doesn´t change anything. right click delete the building. In the 3D editor ctrl+shift+left click change the balcony, alt+control+ left click change the walls. Also only ctrl. only shift change the wallcolors... its da damn mystery! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Okay, I should have just started up the game in the first place. In the 3D view, it is SHIFT+ALT+LEFT CLICK on the building you want to destroy. Destruction will start with roof, then proceed by floor until it is reduced to complete rubble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 No response. I feel stupid. Don't feel stupid. Like any new tool, it takes a while to learn the ins and outs of the editor. I can't really help much more right now because I don't have access to the game. But as I recall it the basic steps are: * be in the 3D map editor ("3D Preview", or "3D Map Preview", I think it is) * [something]+[something]+[left-or-right]click on each wall to cycle through the doors/windows options. Go past the 5 windows to the next one, which is rubble, or maybe the one after, which is a clean hole * repeat that for each wall on each floor * at the end you be left with a floating roof apparently supported by a spiders web of wall remnants * exit 3D * save the scen To check it has worked correctly * exit the editor * play the scen as a battle * check the building is now rubbled If success: Else if !success: Edit: or what akd said 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Fusselpulli Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 In the 3D view, it is SHIFT+ALT+LEFT CLICK on the building you want to destroy. woohooo yeah! Thank you akd and JonS, great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Word to the wise: when messing about with buildings there are a LOT of [something]+[something]+[left-or-right]click combinations that do various things, including a few where [something]+[left-or-right]click applies the change to one floor, while SHIFT+[something]+[left-or-right]click applies the change to all floors on that side. I'm sorry but I can't tell you what they all are, or what the combos are - I sort of touch-type them, or muscle-memory them, without looking at the keyboard. But if you mess about with different combinations of ALT, SHIFT, and CTRL and left or right clicks on different parts of a multi-story building you'll get a sense of what options are available. From there it's a small-ish step to at least remembering that the option is available, even if you do have to fumble about a bit before you find it again. Oh, also, for some of the options Independent buildings are treated differently to Modular ones. Independents, for example, cannot have their windows and doors moved or altered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Savage Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Yeah, no stupid questions. UI is pretty hard and too tried every keyboard combos before I got collapsed buildings to work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocker28 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Also remember to click on the roof using cntrl shift left click.... You have to click on the roof of the building. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
