Ugly abrupt building death...

[Anonymous]

Good Evening.

I'm using the building units ripped straight from 'The Culling', the ones that are essentially attackable structures. The problem: On the original map, when they die they collapse smoothly and decay. I've been completely unable to locate the triggers that make this happen. On my map, when these building units die, they just abruptly disappear which looks ugly. Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?

hmm well as far as I know there are no triggers that specify that sort of thing, it is pretty much dependant on what sort of animations have been created for the 3d model in questions. Cycle through the model animations in the preview pane on the left of the editor window and see if your buildings have decent death animations.

Another possibility is that the person who made that map might have set a field in Advanced menu -> Gameplay Constants, that determines the rate of decay of units after they die. I can't remember what the name of the field is or whether it also applies to buildings, but have a careful read through it (its a good idea to know what is in Gameplay Constants anyway).
