Deleting Blocks not working

[IckyATLAS]

In the ME Trigger Delete and Spawner MCU does not work at all on Blocks. Is this normal.

If it is not implemented this is an important limitation of the ME. I see no other ways to implement this functionality

Yes this is by design. You can only delete planes, vehicles, ships etc.

Can't imagine that you set by design such a limitation. For what. It is simpler to delete a static object on a map than a dynamic one like a plane or train. 

Same for the spawning function. Personally this is not good design for an ME.

You have no idea how the game engine is implemented, so I think your sentiment is a bit strong there. It's frustrating, sure, but that's just how it is. Maybe for optimization purposes the game clients and game server simply maintain a 'static' state of the objects that can be there, and can then optimize rendering, LODs, meshes, etc etc etc. Then the only thing the server needs to tell the client is a bitmask for how much damage each block has taken, not constantly tell it what blocks are where.

It is true that I have not considered the Server related consequences. 

I am in scripted campaign logic, so I tend to limit perception to that.
