(For multiplayer) Basically what I'm doing is creating flak cannons that fire and create destruction on the other side of the map.
At the moment I have a working script for destroying tree & ground, it is variations on the following.

main()
{
 ground3_d = getent("ground3_d","targetname");
 ground3_d hide();ground3_d notsolid();
 ground3_d_decal = getent("ground3_d_decal","targetname");
 ground3_d_decal hide();ground3_d_decal notsolid();
 tree4_d = getent("tree4_d","targetname");
 tree4_d hide();tree4_d notsolid();
 thread tree_1();
{
ground3()
{
 impact = getent("ground3_impact","targetname");
 origin = impact GetOrigin(); 
 original = getent("ground3_org","targetname");		
 ground3_d = getent("ground3_d","targetname");	
 ground3_d_decal = getent("ground3_d_decal","targetname");	
 wait 1;
 thread flak1_fire();
 wait 1;
 impact playsound ("incoming", origin);
 wait 0.3;
 RadiusDamage(origin, 500, 1000, 500);
 Earthquake(0.75, 3, origin, 500);
 playfx(level._effect["dirt_impact"], origin);
 impact playsound ("dirt_impact", origin);
 wait 0.1;
 ground3_d  show();
 ground3_d solid();
 ground3_d_decal show();
 ground3_d_decal solid();
 original delete();
 thread tree4();
}
tree4()
{
 impact = getent("tree4_impact","targetname");
 origin = impact GetOrigin(); 
 original = getent("tree4_org","targetname");		
 tree4_d = getent("tree4_d","targetname");	
 wait 5;
 thread flak1_fire();
 wait 1;
 impact playsound ("incoming", origin);
 wait 0.3;
 RadiusDamage(origin, 500, 1000, 500);
 Earthquake(0.75, 3, origin, 500);
 playfx(level._effect["tree_impact"], origin);
 impact playsound ("tree_impact", origin);
 wait 0.1;
 tree4_d  show();
 tree4_d  solid();
 original delete();
 //thread tree5();
}
 flak1_fire()
{
 	flak_place = getent("flak_place1","targetname");
	origin = flak_place GetOrigin();
        //angles to be added later
  	playfx(level._effect["flak_flash"],origin);
	flak_place playsound ("flak88_fire",origin);
}

1. Is there a more efficient way of doing the same thing?
2. I have to define the destroyed brushmodel/script_models in the main and in each thread is there a way to define to for all threads?
3. I want to create destroyed walls, the way I was thinking of doing it was to have lots of brushmodels with the same name and then called in an array and hidden/show/deleted when needed but I don't know how to do this, can anyone help?
