[Done for V0.38] Custom "Wall Decoration" options

Post by **Gambit37** » Thu Jan 22, 2004 6:32 pm

Similar to my request for pillars, I'd love to have a BREAKABLE / CONVERT_TO attribute for static wallitems.

It would be cool for players to be able to face a tapestry and slash it with their sword, or to destroy wooden support beams. The possibilities could be huge!

Bumping up for possible inclusion in 0.29....

Would this be possible at all?

couldn't you do that with a door : changing the door bitmap to some fissured wall, a hole in the wall when its hacked and an empty bitmap for the doorframe ?

Possibly -- but I don't really think that's a good way to do it.

Besides, floor triggers can already accept activations by spells; I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to pass the same functionality to wallitems and add the ability for them to also be affected by weapons.

Imagine slashing or fireballing a tapestry and giving different 'broken' images depending on how it was destroyed -- burnt rags or tatters. And maybe another wall item is hidden behind -- an alcove, or switch or something. You couldn't do that with your door suggestion.

I see loads of possibilities for making much more atmospheric dungeons with this!

This can already be done in V0.38

(In fact, I think it can be done in earlier versions, the mechanics for the bashable wall in the example actions dungeon gives you everything you need - including having different outcomes for slashing the tapestry with different weapons)
