Smashable textures question..

[Deep_Blue]

So it's been a pretty long time since I made anything for C2-and I've gotten a bit rusty.
(Alzheimer's.....Sometimer's??)

When made my MM2 'snake' towtruck, I grouped all the fog lights on the hood *with* the hood and both headlights with the grille. I then went to make 'em smash and couldn't remember how to do that as they're grouped with the main part they're on. The hood will not open and the grille will be detachable.

Foggies and headlights are modeled separately with separate 'intact' skins, does it matter whether or not they're grouped with another component as to how smashies are defined?

You're doin it right grouping them. The smashies get defined in the group. I always look at other car's paperwork to refresh my brain.

That's what I thought, but I figured I'd ask anyways to make sure cuz I just drew a blank when I went to define the smashable headlights and stuff. Everything else is working OK, I just had a brain fart, I guess.
Now to hunt down a car with a like set o' smashies. ;)

Keep me posted on the map progress every so often as ya get to it, K? (it's yer baby now :D )
I know we all got lives and stuff but I like seeing the progress when it happens. lemme know if I can do anything else for it or suggest things.

Thanks man!

D_B, if you need references in the future, Harm wrote an awesome article about WAM editing:

It covers every aspect of crush datas etc. and thus smashable materials :)

Yup. I just found that. Thanks!
