High-rise building destruction

[feral rapids]

There is a Descriptor_District_HLM_District, which by default has KillWhenDamagesReachMax set to false, which means that it can`t be destroyed, However there is a destruction animation when damage reaches max.
After this, this district still have terrain set to building, not a ruin.
Question is whether it is intended (bulding terrain after destruction), and whether it can be changed.
I suggest adding additional property, which decides, what terrain effect building will have, after reaching its maximum damage. It such case it wont break vanilla gameplay, and will give modders more flexibility.
Thanks

tag_Small_District, 15 health points.
◦ tag_Mid_District, 45 health points.
◦ tag_Big_District, 60 health points.
◦ tag_HLM_District, 90 health points and will stay garrisonable even when destroyed. Designed
for tallest buildings of urban maps.
Basically a tool for the map maker to decide if he wants one building that can't be destroyed and keeps the building cover/damage mitigation modifiers

i mean it would be cool, if we had more flexibility from the modders (not map makers) side
For example, if the HLM_District, still was garrisonable and gave high-ground vision, however was providing ruin resistance.

like we can make it destroyable even now, but mostly their destroyed version is not falling to the ground, like other ruins, so it can confuse players (building is staying while not proving LoS block)

so i suggested an additional setting, which regulates the terrain effect change upon bulding damage reaching its maximum

On the curious side, can't you just create a new tag and add that functionality to it?
(no idea, my personal interface mod already feels like there is many things that I have no access to /is coded somewhere we no has access to)

i`m talking from the perspective of playing vanilla maps, so new map editor tags wont help me
terrain change is bind to "death of building"
since HLM is not destructable, i cant set ruin terrain to it upon reaching max damage

Hi !

I'm not sure about what you want here. Do yo want to have the possibility to change the terrain type when the building HP is zero ? Both when KillWhenDamagesReachMax is True and False ?
What are you trying to achieve here ?

If I understand correctly, you want to be able to change the terrain under the building without killing the district, when the building reaches max damage ?

[feral rapids]

Yes, you understood correctly! In this way it wont break vanilla behaviour while giving more flex there.

From the gameplay perspective reasoning i suggested this, because most of the high-rise districts, cant be destroyed(in terms of code).
If we even set them to be destroyable, its faulty, because they dont have totally destroyed model for the Ruin state. So like giant building become penetrable by vision which looks really bad(second attached image). And as a result better left it to be garrisonable, while changing terrain type

not an obstacle for a LOS
