well, each piece of terrain can have multiple frames, each with the piece of terrain being shown with varying levels of damage. Then, when the damage level goes beyond a certain point, flip through the frames.

Also, you can attach little movie clips to the stage that make up bigger pieces of terrain, and remove them dynamically when rockets hit, etc.

There’s a lot of approaches… be creative!

You can set alpha to 0 so you can see through it after you set DestroyedVariable=1.

Marz, your link still doesn’t work… i still see a small gray box. I just want to know a good way to make terrain destruction, something like McGiver’s i guess.
