OK, here is the first shot...its functional, feel free to use it.

One breakable barrel complete with breaking sound effect.

I would suggest probably doubling the size of the mdl when you place it, though 1x could be used as the smaller barrel types that are common in SOM games.

The texture needs work I know, something for a patch down the road.

It is an NPC, I am going to be making most of my animated objects as NPCs for a few reasons:

#1 its far less likely any given map will have maximum npcs on the map vs enemies. ‎  If you wnated to place many many barrels and many many monsters youd have a problem =)

#2 its far easier to find an npc that doesnt have idle sound effects and i was too lazy to search for an enemy that didnt breathe or scratch or growl at idle.

#3 im pretty certain homing missile type spells dont target NPCs, which I think is preferable for breakable objects.

I will taylor this prf when i have more time to remove the undesirable options in the npc editor window since of course it should not walk, or sit etc. ‎  I will see if i can get all the non usable options grayed out.

Currently I went with one model that totally disappears once broken. ‎  If anyone is interested in a broken barrel object to use at the base I would be happy to create it for you and leave the animated portion just for the top (so the bottom stays on the screen after its busted).

Enjoy.

BTW, I talked with holy quite a bit tonight, he told me he knew the current build etc had the issue with the idle pose, i thnk he will be updating it sometime soon, will be checking on there for the update myself when he releases it.
