Dont get angry at me, I have looked all day for this problem on the site but no one has the same problem.

I know how to make destructible cars, Im fine with the FX thingy then recompiling so they work properly.. Thats all good.

For some reason, the cars work fine on some maps but not others? Exactly the same car on both maps but one just wont blow up.
Im not sure what I have done differently or why they just dont seem to like certain maps but its driving me crazy. Ive even tried copying a working one from one map to the other but still nothing, it just sits there mocking me as I try to blow it up.. [banghead]

Any advice pleeeeeeese?

Thanks

If your doing a single player map then im pretty sure it does it automatically.

But if your making a multiplayer map then you have to grab the cars from the C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\map_source\prefabs\destructable only certain cars work.

Well that was the part I was doing wrong not using the cars from the destructable folder.

Thanks for the help.

Im making multi player maps. And yes, I am using cars from the mp_destructible folder... So its something else..

Just made another brand new map from scratch. put a destructible car in and same thing.. No blow?!?

I have one map that I can blow up any car in, but all my other maps wont blow cars up. I dont get it [sad]

HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! [machine_gun] Sorry..

I finally fixed the problem! I went over every little detail until I found something that wasn't right.. Such a simple easy mistake but it was ruining everything.

I found it by accident.. I was trying to get a .vision file working and noticed that when I made a fast file, it wasn't even seeing it, even though I made the correct directories and had the file in there as I was supposed to.. Anyway, I was studying the .vision file and its contents and realized that I had named it mp_whatever.vision but NOTEPAD had given it a .txt format that I couldnt see as my version of Windows doesnt show extensions in the filename the way old Windows did.

Anyway, I copied a REAL .vision file from an existing map into the correct directories, opened it, did a find and replace then just hit control S. Then I renamed the file by right clicking>rename>mp_mymap. I just changed the name and not the .vision bit at the end, which it already had.
Then it recognized the file!

Then it occurred to me that I was a total idiot and to look at all the GSC files I had made and sure enough, all but one were bloody .txt files!?!

This would explain all my errors when compiling, they had the wrong extension so therefore werent real GSC files!

I fixed them all and everything has started working properly. AND... my cars explode on EVERY map now!

I am so happy I discovered that. Such a little thing.

OK, so Im a retard.. My advice.. Be careful and pay CLOSE attention to detail. Even when doing things outside Radiant.. Like creating your own files from notepad. Keep an eye on everything.

Thanks for all those who tried to help. I hope this helps some other poor bastard who thinks they are doing it all correctly.
