Wasted sprites are sprites because it would generally be pretty dumb to make them solid. For example if you shoot a tank on a bridge then how do you get over the bridge with the dead tank in the way? With all that put aside there may perhaps be times when you want to make solid wasted sprites, for some special type of non-moving object or something. This can be done using script on a per object basis... void OnObjectDie_???() { // add wasted object at object's coords SC_AddObject( ????????); // make wasted object indestructible (if required) SC_SetObjectIndestructible( ???, 1); } I could perhaps add an "OnObjectTypeDie" event so you can have one event for all instances of an object but thats about it.

For example if you shoot a tank on a bridge then how do you get over the bridge with the dead tank in the way?" That wouldn't be a problem for me. I just thought it could be chooseable wheter the sprite is solid or not just like in Meteor1. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

The object will have no AI, it will have an appearance of a dead tank, and give it like a trillion health. There ya go. *Papercut Pro-Murder. Legalize Crime.
