Learning more about the Subway train


Recommended Posts

Warning: Spoilers.

 

Hello,

 

So i was wondering just now about the dynamics that Rockstar used to create the subway trains in TBoGT to blow up in the mission 'Bang Bang' when you detonate the sticky bombs

 

It got me thinking on how this could be possible so that if you shoot rockets, throw grenades/sticky bombs etc at it, then they explode and take damage like a normal vehicle.

 

Now as some of us know (that have done the mission 'Bang Bang') when you blow up the train, it cuts to a little clip of it being destroyed instead of in real time game play. Weather this is possible to achieve via scripts or not i don't know. You also need to take in that the trains path is generated by path files.

 

Do you think it's possible?

P.S; This is not a request, it is merely a question that i wouldn't mind getting other's perspective on if it could be possible or not.

I'd like to help but I'm not on my main PC with the game right now. My guess is that the trains are treated as regular indestructible trains in the beginning (can you blow it up with a rocket or grenade?). When a sticky bomb detonates, the trains will transform into a map object and follow a scripted sequence. For the plane, I think it is treated entirely as just a movable map object.

Okay doing the mission 'Bang, Bang' a few times, I can confirm to you that if you use any kind of explosive on the train, the blowing up sequence will occur. But what gets me is, the subway is listed as a vehicle not only as a model, but as data; i.e. handling, vehicles ide, car colours etc.

 

When the little video sequence of the subway blowing up occurs, you do actually see the subway turn into a burnt out brown colour like when you blow up a normal vehicle.

 

Interesting,
