Hello, and welcome to my DMM tutorial.
And no, its not "proper" DMM
It's just a nice little effect
Which kinda gives the same impression as DMM
So those of you who don't know what DMM is
It's when the object is completely destructible
and you can shoot a corner out of it
and it will fall off realisticly.
It's a very small thing but
it does make things look nicer.
With Half-Life 2 you can't do that.
You just have to...
Make it so that things fall apart
Realistically as much as you can really
arranges the bits that can pull off before you play the level every time so
it's different every time even though it isn't actually proper DMM
it's close enough with this you'll only be able to have one set of pre-arranged
braking points well you can see well I mean after I start doing it now here's
my window in a wall I'm going to split up into small sections all of which can
pull out individually to do this when I select the window and go to the carve
tool I think it's the cuttle I'm going to draw a line across it from one point
to another so there you know you can't do it to like a half point like that
otherwise it's really hard to join them all up so make sure they go from one
grid crossing to one another grid crossing on the other side so here it is
and to make sure that you get both sides instead of just cutting up one bit you
keep clicking on the car thing it'll choose the bit that you want to carve so
keep clicking on the carpet until both sides are white then you can press Enter
there you have it you have two sides of the glass I'm going to do that a couple
of times make a look a lot more realistic so here's my slightly more
broken up window
break it up into more pieces and once I've got seven or eight pieces that
should be enough they'll break quite realistically a word of warning don't
make too many pieces you might think it'll look better but how 5-2 is a
really really bad habit of crashing whenever you put too many bits in so
here's my window it's now made up of loads of small beds what I'm going to do
is control tea and make them all detail objects I would select them all together
at the same time but there are problems with that and it kind of makes one
object so there is little detail objects and from here you can select them all
and choose a func fizz box I'm going to disable the shadows let's make the
strength about 34 it's gotta be 34 you see the material type is glass and the
health level to override motion is 1 and so is the physics
I might make that a bit close Saturn now about 100 will do there I think the rest
is all right so now when I play it should look like a normal window the
sheet bits out of it it's my level I know I haven't added
lighting in her okay here's the window hopefully oh wow it's kind of all right
it's not perfect but it's better than not having the mm I guess
that's alright let's do it again that's quite fun yeah that is nice I can tell
this could be the future of accounts right now DMM windows
I'll go upload this to the Internet you can download it and put into your levels
there is a problem in that you can't see the sides of the glass so it will look
like two bits of glass strapped together there is a way around that but it's
complicated and you have to spawn objects and whatever it's not worth it
just be happy with this it's good enough I'll have fun using DMM in your levels
bye
