How do you make disproportionate destructibles?

I've figured out how to do it with normal destructibles.. I can change them into doodads and pick the variation of the model that I want to use.

My problem now is that I need to do it with doors. If I turn them into doodads, there seems to be no way to work with them using triggers--which leaves out the possibility to play the "open" animation or switch it with one that's always open. The only other possibility I can think of is to use units and have initialization triggers set the proper dimensions for them--but this would obviously be a big and undesirable pain in the butt. Does anyone have any better ideas?

No way to work doodads with triggers? I have to completly disagree with you there. You CAN use triggers to work doodads, it's very simple - Step one: Create a region and place your "door" within it. Step two: open the Actions and


you can find the DOOR you have made in the USER-Specified area of the trigger which can be found as usual under the tilesets such as Ashenvale, Lordaeron etc. just type in the animation you wish to play like I did in the above sample "open". That's all you need to do, if you have ANY problems, just let me know here and I'll see what I can do. L8rz Peace â€

Thanks player_72985... I saw that I could animate destructibles and units, but didn't notice the doodad options at the bottom there ^_^ The animations are "death alternate" and "stand" for opening and closing, respectively.

I still have one small problem left--the doodads have an area of collision in the middle. Neither setting "walkable" nor "floats" prevents the collision and I see no way of effecting it's size. Does anybody know how to remove it?



Update:

Well nevermind that. The collision was due to the pathing texture, which I've now removed and everything is splendid. Thanks again for the help--I do believe I'm good to go on this now.

umm isnt there an option in the editor "collision size" set it to 00.00 if not just change the pathing to mushrooms or none
