I know everyone knows about the kill poly and lava and such, but what about exploding poly? Im sure some mappers would love to have a poly that made an explosion the size of a nade whenever a soldat hits it.

shoover, if you think he means Worm's-like terrain, I think you are mistaken.
I like the idea, it could be useful to simulate landmines on maps, as well as areas that are bombed by aeroplanes. I like it!
Edit to reply to HYPERFUNKBOT's edit: It is because Soldat would not know what to do with the polygon, even if it had an explosion tag of some kind. This needs to be implemented into both the Map Maker and Soldat for it to work properly.

That person that does polyworks could, in theory, if he/she was willing, do it. Hardly anybody uses the original mapmaker at this point, now that polyworks is out.
However, this seems like a rather useless idea. How is this better than the deadly polys?

^No. Anna cannot do it. The map code does not support the generation of explosions. It would be Michal's job.
Personally, I would like this... kinda. Once the new forum is released, I'm posting two topics. One regarding easy, great changes that could be added to Soldat. The other would be a discussion on the re-fabrication of the PMS code.

It supports deadly and bloody deadly, this is essentially the same.
