Searchlight?

[gap]

Ship equipments got their zon file (data/Library/ShipParts/guns_radars_01.zon), therefore in theory they should get damage, or they were conceived by devs to do so

I see two possible problems though:

- DMG_Col_ etc. collision models are missing from the GR2 file. I have no idea wether they are required or not for making equipments and guns destructible as they are for main units but i guess so. We should ask TDW if his GR2 editor at its current state can be able to add those models

- Some equipments, including reflectors, have not their box defined in the zon file.

If someone wants to test it, I can add a box around them to see what is going to happen in game.

From the SHCollisions.act file nothing will be considered for collision unless it has a DMG_col node (barring torpedoes/shells/DC - anything that has a weapon controller on it)

Gap, if you want to set it up as a mod I can give it a try. Thanks.

Okay, thank you TDW
Could you look then into guns_radars_01.GR2 and see if your GR2 editor can deal with the missing collision models?

Adding missing zone boxes is a quick and needed fix, that I could do in 5 minutes with Goblin Editor. Nevetheless, as you can see from TDW's post, it would be perfeclty pointless without a collision model to wich zones are applied: adding those models to the GR2 file is the first step.

As usual, at the time being we can only wait for an answer by TDW!

Currently the GR2 Editor/Viewer cannot add/remove meshes to/from a GR2 file. I haven't coded that part in yet It can't even clone GR2 meshes as I haven't coded that in yet either.

Okay, thank you again TDW,

I am following any further development of your GR2 Editor/Viewer with big interest.

I guess that in this case just cloning the existing meshes should be enough. Let's hope that this feature will be impelemented in one of your next releases

the reflector (Searchlight) has a wpn_Searchlight controller on it. Therefore you should be able to add a zone (box) and collision sphere(s) to it so it can be destroyed
