Crappy drawing for illustration purposes only, and not meant to be a final sprite.

I'm sure I'm not the first to think we could make them.
What I was thinking is pin the bottom part of the trunk, and stack attachables all the way up.
Make wood splinter wounds, and leaf gibs, and lastly maybe use some lua to make the attachables be able to rotate to some degree off the parent?

Maybe I'm just not seeing some vary obvious reason why we can't do this.

It'd basically be like the obelisk, and if you made it, I'd love to use it.

Okay well at the risk of stretching myself thin working on the sandbags too, I think I will start this then.

nah you take a rest, i'll start it.

Okay but I get all the glory lol , no seriously though if you want to take over I could help here and there.

Nah attachables are easy.
Yeah you can put it with the sandbag.rar when I'm done.

Cool I will make sure there's a credits page then.

As soon as I saw this I immediately thought of this devpost and the tree picture in it:

"None shall pass!"
These would be pretty cool.

yes that's the idea, the trick will be overcoming the problems listed in the illustration.
I think once we have a working prototype the lua gods might bless this project with some sparkle magic.

Well, I'd say this would be a nice piece of destructible scenery,
even if you don't make a magic tree that breaks but doesn't block people, and bends, and so on.
I just went back and looked at that post again, and it reminded me of something.
Would it be possible to make part of the tree, maybe the lower half, able to be passed through by actors?
I know it can be done somehow...

Yes its possible but I think it should be a obstacle or there's no point to being destructable.

Or you could make particles and ACrafts to hit the tree and actors to NOT hit the tree.

ACrafts are also actors broski

if you want i can make you a sprite for a tree. i can do sprites pretty good. but im still new to it.or ill help with anything and take no credit.

Contrary already offered, and accepted.
