Hopefully this is a simple question for the accumulated knowledge here:

Here's the scenario: I found a unit I would like to include on a map whose special attack alters a small part the mesh (elevation). The problem is the attack _seems_ to only alter the mesh the first time it is used in a game. I say _seems_ because it doesn't matter whether I have one of these units on the map or multiples. The first time ANY of these units uses it's special attack the mesh is altered as expected. ANY subsequent T-attacks by ANY of these units does NOT alter the mesh (which doesn't make sense to me).

The attack gets triggered, I see the projectiles that SHOULD alter the mesh (a meteor storm in this case) and the ground gets a bit blackened from the resulting explosion- but it doesn't alter the mesh.

Suggestions? Ideas? Solutions? Hints on where to look to figure out what's going on?

thnx

Somebody made a projectile nuke once that blasted a huge hole in the ground. I think it was for Vietnam or Warhammer, but I'm not sure. You could check it out.

In WWII Propack I know Road had a shovel that would dig into the mesh, and I'm positive you could dig a few times in more than one place.

I know the "engineer" journeyman (or journeyman engineer) can dig into or raise the mesh too - I guess I can unTag that and unTag the unit that's only altering the terrain once and try to see what's different. I was hoping someone had a suggestion _where_ to look as the unit that's only altering the terrain once isn't anything I created - it's a plugin I thought would be good to add to a unit set on a map i am working on, so I don't really know anything about the unit in the fear-world.

thanks for the suggestions.

Ok, sorry I wasn't more Helpful. I thought you were just looking for an example. I don't know of any tutorials, and I don't know how to do it myself.
Hopefully someone else can chime in.
