How would you make uneven ground that randomly sets itself?

I was wondering if it were possible to make uneven land randomly generate itself. I've seen it done in iphone games like tanks. Is it possible in GameSalad?

Thanks,

Use the rotate the angle behavior

Rotate to: Random(min,max)

Fill in the minimum and maximum it can rotate to

Not exactly what I was looking for. What I was wondering was if it was possible to make hilly land in which it could create itself and when you drop something on the land, it creates a crater.

Is this at all possible?

i imagine so but the only way i can think of is by constructing how the hills will randomly develop by using lines+circles connected to eachother - those lines could disappear and you can insert gfx for a crater + create your own physics/hole with other actors as well for the crater, but it wont be fun...especially the first part

Yes

Create 2 attributes called CraterX & Crater Y (both integers)

What you want to do is when your actor collides with hill to change CraterX & CraterY to the position where it collided with hill.

Spawn actor: Crater at CraterX & CraterY

You could draw an image with craters in the ground. Draw hills.

In the hill actor, if collide, destroy actor... leaving the crater showing.

I'd add some dust animations to smooth out the transition from hill to hole.

what I am trying to do is a terrain like in tank wars 2 where the bombs destroy some of the land and then, the tank could go into and out of the crater

RedlerTech

nope, we don't have joints. YET

What I am wondering is if I can create a destructible ground in which moving vehicles can go on.
