Can you destroy part of an Actor?

Hi!

Is it possible in Gamesalad to destroy part of an actor (and leave the rest)?

An example is that old game "Scorched Earth", where you can blow up parts of the ground/landscape. In that game, when a bullet hits the ground, it destroy all the ground within a small explosion/radius.

If I try something like this in Gamesalad, I can only destroy a whole actor when it is hit by a "bullet". Does anyone know of any work arounds?

Please don't tell me I have to make the landscape out of thousands of tiny actors, which are all 1px x 1px. This will break my heart.

Thanks!!!

Sorry you'd have to build it all out of actors 1px x 1px
