Something I thought I'd share

Your probably looking at this and saying, "Big deal a 5by7 building. Who cares." Then your thinking "wait, 5by7 not possible."

You are right unless you have ARES. But this is not a "building", but a terrain piece I had an idea for an earlier project I was working on. I was working on a mod/campaign where one of the missions you had to go in rescue someone and get them to the extraction point. Landing in the middle of a city with 30 infantry chasing you was kinda tough and if some of those infantry were rpg soldiers then the helicopter was in trouble. So I made this piece because I was bored. On the back side is a work ramp, so the helicopter will land 2 snipers jump out and wait for the rescued person to arrive.

I still have to fix the back section where the ramp is.

well, I was being chased by 30 infantry troops and they managed to destroy the chopper. The trigger was set up for once aboard the chopper would fly away, once it reach a certain way point the player would win. I could have made it so once you reach the way point (which was a 1/2 way across the map) the game would end but on the way out there could be a lone anti-aircraft vehicle floating around and still take out the chopper

That my friend is a very nice (and sorta original for CnC) idea and unless you oppose i belive when i have time i may experiment with this in Tiberian Sun.

Im thinking along the line's of experimenting with destroyable clifts and buildings (like the Dam) which sit on the clift/building edge for affects/looks

And imo it will less recognizable in TS as you cant garason buildings.

Hey, that's an awesome idea, by using this we could have more detailed damage states! (Fe.: Left wall is shot at = Left wall gets destroyed while the other sides stay undamaged)

The answer is probably going to be so obvious, I'll feel foolish, but I have to ask: Why do you need ARES to do this? It seems like something that could be done with just adding new terrain (mostly cliff and ramp sets).

Otherwise, I think it's a brilliant idea and can't believe no one has tried it before.

He means that a "building" as large as that would need ARES to be implemented, but as it ain't a building, you don't need it.

This is not a building, but a terrain piece. What I did was make a cliff set as 1 piece. see pic. I made it would look like a building so I could use it as a high place to land a helicopter. The yellow arrow points to where the ramp is located, so you can get to the top

What don't you like it? Like I said it suppose to so you can land a chopper on a building and either deploy from it or extract from it. It is for a urban style map so it looks like you are landing on a building. I am interested in your opinion.

The holes/windows on the sides are weird.
It makes it look like a building,yet don't feel like a building...err the issue is something like I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like,a building or not?
I can't explain it well Confused

edit: Ah I think I got the way to say it.
Basically,if it's supposed to look like a building,the windows seem badly made (because some are crushed at the bottom),but if it's not supposed to look like a building,the holes look too much like windows.

i personally think its a clever idea. if only destroyable cliffs worked 100% perfectly.

top is not to realistic though since most buildings dont let you drive on them if there is like no wall... but since its terain, i suppose you can add your own wall xD

Well, that IS a parking building. Although, why the border is so low, is beyond me.

Yes it is a parking building, give that man a ci-gar. I have to redo the walls. I had the idea some time ago for this. It was something I got around to start on it.
