How can I get it so you can't sell buildings directly, but need a unit to sell, or deconstruct, the building like it builds it but backwards?

[CodeCat]

Nobody's replied so far, so I guess it's not posible?

[kornlord283]

nope its not possible
(or i think its not)

[Prism128]

i doubt it

ps do u mean like in total anihilation?

Try this... use the penalty damage type and the extra_2 death type. In armor.ini, make the panalty damage type only effective against buildings, and in factionbuildings.ini add a slow death behavior for the extra_2 death type that spawns a unit that provides x amount of resources once before it is removed.

[CodeCat]

Yeah I suppose that'll work but won't that just destroy the building rather than "deconstruct" it? I want it to do exactly what it does when it constructs it, but do it backwards instead so you end up with just a foundation and then it disappears and your building is sold and you get the money.

And yes, I want the effect to be similar to what the construction units did in Total Annihilation, except that it won't just "extract" resources from the building when it sells it but rather "deconstruct" it.

make its death animation the same as the sell animation.

[Blare]

Yes, but when you destory it, it will look like you are selling it.

[Waspo]

make it a special death animation then. I mean when you kill a inf with a flame tank he burns up. killed with a gun he just falls over.
