-2The role stays unresolved and the theater has no collapsible cliff, since the two tile indices it would name are both negative and no cell can carry them.
Exactly two tiles are collapsible: the one at this role and the one after it. Every other cliff face in the theater is permanent, so the set this key names is the whole of what a weapon can bring down. Theater control files explains how a [General] role is resolved to a live tile index.
A cell carrying one of those two tiles is tested after damage reaches it — from an ordinary explosion, from a sonic wave sweeping the cell, and from a railgun beam that stops on it — and each test rolls the CollapseChance percentage. On a success the cliff tile is lifted off the cells it covered, two pieces from SlopeSetPieces are laid in its place, movement zones are rebuilt so units can find the new way up, everything still targeting those cells is retargeted, and rubble is scattered across the wreckage from three hard-coded debris animations, XGRYMED1, XGRYMED2 and XGRYSML1.
The two tiles also change how a cell is treated before it collapses. A player may order a selected unit to attack one directly, unless that unit’s primary weapon carries a fire warhead; a unit given that order retargets to the closest passable cell so it can approach the rock face; and an attacker holding a webbing weapon picks its other weapon against one of these cells.
