Falling trees look weird
Looking at the two videos with the falling trees, I really didn't like seeing them fall when a unit barely touches them. Besides, they shouldn't fall because of a peewee, which is smaller than them!
Suggestions:
- reduce (a lot) the collision radius.
- make the collision and falling speed of the tree look right (hard to explain: C&C Generals had it about right)
- most units should go right through the forest, but with a slowdown; even if they go through a tree model it's ok, you can make it look right - see how see Ground Control II does it.
- huge footprint units would crush trees - at least in a dense forested area, because that would basically be the only way for them to go through.
What about crushing/pushing small rocks and wreckage? (There will be wreckage in Spring, right?)

pewee too small ??? think a real tank in real life... they can put tree of misery why cant peewee ?
but u got good points there and some of them propably will be done...
i personally wanna see tanks "pushing" wreckages and rocks but kbots couldnt "push" they should walk over <<< walking over wreckages cant look good.

Right. Actually, it would be useful if even crushed trees could be reclaimed (for less energy). Likewise, crushed rocks should turn into reclaimable rubble.Alantai Firestar wrote:The problem with treees falling in spring is they just fall into the ground and dissapear. In generals at least you saw the tank run over them and leave them flattened behind
