In my tank battles I want the dead tank to go away or fade away after 10 seconds or so. Esspecially cos blitzschnee_2 is a bit tighter (like a tiger) than the old one, if the models go away that will help framerates and conjestion. Not sure of the best idea to change it or leave it. Its a challenge for the player iether way.

This is the enormus code and also willing to take sugestions on what to do, remove dead tanks or keep em piled up.

Then there is a third option and that is to keep the dead tank model and just remove the smoke after 10 seconds, the smoke is the big fps killer.

Ok bye.

that should work...

Either that or this should work :
