DamageArea

The <DamageArea> tag describes the particular Damage Area of the truck.

Configured damage areas can be visualized in the Editor:

The damage area allows us to set the volume, where collision objects of the truck's physical model will deal damage to the truck when they collide with other objects.

On the picture above, damage areas are displayed in the form of pink cubes: two FuelTank ones and one Engine. Their forms and positions can be customized for the gameplay tasks.

For damage area of the Engine type, collisions near the marked damage area will also deal damage to the truck:

• Inside the damage zone, the maximum damage (100% of it) is dealt.
• Outside the damage zone, the dealt damage smoothly decreases to 0.

Thus, the damage to the Engine can be automatically decreased by installing more massive bumpers.

Therefore, in the front part of the truck, the damage area should be configured quite carefully and should not include bumper add-ons.
