Is it possible??

I was wondering if it was possible if you could script a crane to move to a certain spot, and then the object hanging from it fall and explode on impact ? Because I am creating a SP map, that I want to be able to complete one of the objectives this way.

Yes.
1) Take a look at any exploder tutorial for exploding stuff. We got at least 2 of them here at .MAP.
2) Take a look at small_sumo:s Hood map. That crane is all you want and more.

Yes it will take awhile Wille. I know this cause I spent 2 hours making a crane that hangs from an I-beam. I want to take my time on this so that I get good remarks on it. I dont want to just rush through it and have it be crappy. Also I hope that with everyones help, I can get everything right on the first try.

Here is a tutorial map that has Small Sumo's crain in it. If you study the script, you can figure out how to make the box drop without the hook. Then just hide or remove the box ($box1 hide or $box1 remove) and start the animation for your explosion entity ($box1_boom anim start).

Thanks so much tltrude. This tutorial map will help a lot. Hopefully you and all the others of .Map will be able to help me create a great map.
