Well, im making a rts game and i already posted this in rts starter kit forums but got no anwsers. I've been wondering about tanks, is it possible to make armour that is different on each side of the tank, for example " 60mm armour on the front, 30mm on the sides and 10mm on the back" and is it posible to do this just with scripts if this is really possible?

Mattinn,I don't have the RTS pack, but in the FPS demo there is a command, getDamageLocation() in the player object that shows how to "cut up" the bounding box into hit areas. I've managed to get 16 different hit areas without having to go to the hitbox resource (which I couldn't get working). In my last round of development, I moved the whole hit location processing to script in the
function Player::damage(%this, %player, %sourceObject, %position, %damage, %damageType)using the %position and calibrating it to the players current location and rotation.
