<div class="IPBDescription">Totally not what you think !</div>At the moment destroyed Buildings become ragdolls and then just disapear...
Now you should already know what i meant.....
Change the texture in ragdoll state of <!--coloro:#00FFFF--><span style="color:#00FFFF"><!--/coloro-->marine<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> buildings to an <!--coloro:#00FFFF--><span style="color:#00FFFF"><!--/coloro-->animated texture<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> wich <!--coloro:#00FFFF--><span style="color:#00FFFF"><!--/coloro-->starts out just like the orginal texture<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> and then has <!--coloro:#00FFFF--><span style="color:#00FFFF"><!--/coloro-->rust shaders<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> with a lot of <!--coloro:#00FFFF--><span style="color:#00FFFF"><!--/coloro-->Transparency<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> where the rust already destroyed the buildings..
when 100% of the faces of the prop are transparent <!--coloro:#00FFFF--><span style="color:#00FFFF"><!--/coloro-->make it disapear forever<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->. :3
( Those are the nanites destroying the useless and damaged technology so the aliens can't .. hm, capture? it. )
Change the texture in ragdoll state of <!--coloro:#FF00FF--><span style="color:#FF00FF"><!--/coloro-->alien<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> buildings <!--coloro:#FF00FF--><span style="color:#FF00FF"><!--/coloro-->.. bla bla bla....<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> starts out like the normal one, then has shader that look like the <!--coloro:#FF00FF--><span style="color:#FF00FF"><!--/coloro-->building fouling away<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->, becoming <!--coloro:#FF00FF--><span style="color:#FF00FF"><!--/coloro-->darker and muddy<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->.

( Those are the dehydrating and fouling cells of the organism. )
Some nice particle effects would be nice too.. like <!--coloro:#8B0000--><span style="color:#8B0000"><!--/coloro-->brown rust dust<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> for marines and <!--coloro:#008000--><span style="color:#008000"><!--/coloro-->slimey haze<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> near the ground for aliens. Sounds awesome right? Hm, but you'd see the not drawn inside of the marine building ragdoll props so either draw them on the inside too or make the effect happen so quickly that nobody will notice it. And when shrinking models are not your cup of tea make the prop look REAAAALY foul and let it disapear in a thick <!--coloro:#A0522D--><span style="color:#A0522D"><!--/coloro-->nasty brown<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> and <!--coloro:#00FF00--><span style="color:#00FF00"><!--/coloro-->slimey green<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> cloud ^^

Go to 6:26.
Imagine that in reverse. And make it bright blue glowy for the marines and dark green for the aliens. (story: nanites and bacteria take back the spend material for further constructions)
THAT'S what I want to see when a building dissapears.
This is how I imagined it.
I would want a feature like this way post 1.0
Most games still do not deal with any entity destroyed elegantly
simply having them fade away right before your eyes.
dead bodies
rubble
destroyed turret guns
all fading away.
HL1 had a concept that got dropped of a creature that would eat bodies...but they dropped it.
It is far more important to get all the key game mechanics functional and polished.
So to summarize my thoughts...
Cool idea
too soon
-Zuriki got what i mean. (for marines)
-Klingmob don't sees the chance of getting a really inovative feature in the game. It shouldnt be that hard to implement that.... And why not make it better then nearly ANY other game?
-Kuban probably hates me but what else should i have called it ?

Don't hate you man, just clownin' around :P
It would definitely be a cool looking after-effect!
But as kingmob stated,
-great idea
-too soon
Patience grasshopper!
This is exactly what I thought. That it was false advertising, because this was exactly what I thought.
I'm not liking this "too soon" thing, honestly, because these great ideas will just get buried and forgotten. Now, if only we had sub-forums... for gameplay, features, aesthetics, and other categories within the Ideas and Suggestions forum... And maybe an upvote/downvote system.

I want that! (not that i have a dx11 gfx card, or the other little problem that ns2 is dx9 :P)
This would be great for a lot stuff in ns2, from DI over armor/dmg upgrades to visual dmg indicators on the models....
