Wrecks as in AR2 to work in TS

The goal is simple - to make units wrecks lay on the ground after the unit is destroyed. AR2 is a YR mod where if was done via AnimToInfantry stuff (genetic mutator).

In TS I if it could be made via overlays and ToOverlay= tag. Originally this tag belongs to buildings like walls and pavement, but what if attach it to an animation? (explosion of a certain vehicle) Did anybody try?

It's not ToOverlay, but ToTile Wink

Secondly, this should be quite easy using a voxel debris with a new ExpireAnim that is basically a 1 frame looping anim. The facings would be problematic though.. how did they do that in AR2?

There were just 2-3 random facings. ToTile= is rules tag, ToOverlay= ia art tag...

Ah.. I see.. I guess it must look quite odd. Personally i wouldn't want to add it except for units that have huge pieces of flying debris.

i also is there a way to make it not as a looping anim (impassable)?

I have no idea if the ToOverlay works in TS, and if it doesn't... then the answer is no, impassable things are either TEMs or game objects(buildings, etc)

Code:

[GASAND]
Cameo=SBAGICON
Foundation=1x1
ToOverlay=GASAND
DamageLevels=2
NewTheater=yes

[GAWALL]
Cameo=WALLICON
Foundation=1x1
ToOverlay=GAWALL
DamageLevels=3
NewTheater=yes

[NAWALL]
Cameo=NWALICON
Foundation=1x1
ToOverlay=NAWALL
DamageLevels=3
NewTheater=yes

ToOverlay works with buildings... I should try to do it with anims...
