Building construction "animation"

[brian]

Buildings should slowly rise out of the foundation as they are being constructed based on the percentage of construction.

Not sure how much of the code is reusable/what's the best way to do it, but shouldn't it be possible to "just reverse" the decay? I mean it's basically the same thing apart from buildings rising and dead units sinking. There could be technical difficulties I'm missing though :)

Some way other games do this is by model swapping there is a model that does the animation for the building and then as its complete it swaps models for the build building. I do not know how this game does it but that is a possibility.

[Erik Johansson]

That's definitely something that would be nice to have eventually, but until then something like the above will be nicer than it is now :) Especially since it can be done once and affect all buildings, it's a lot more work to create creation animations for all models.
