RMK - explosions fell trees

Description
Explosions will "fell" trees. 25mm HE upward.
The radius trees will be felled is based on explosion parameters. Smaller rounds/bombs need to be real close to the tree roots.
Should work on most mod trees and all explosive/effect mods.
Did not notice a performance hit when flattening all of Stratis

Since Arma 3 seems to be problematic with felling trees, the model will be hidden and fallen trees will be spawned in their position.
NB! CUP terrains CORE(CUP_Core) is a requirement since Arma 3 has no good fallen/dead tree models.

Known issues:
Could not link CUP workshop dependency - seems broken
Grenades are excluded because 40mm shouldn't fell a tree and they have a too big blast radius
Large bombs (eg GBU-39) will not spawn fallen trees - out of ideas.
AP rounds and direct hits on the tree do nothing.

Version without CUP dependency?

OMG man, you achieved what I've been trying to do for months. NICE!!! Thank you for that!

I highly suggest you try making some vertical trees beside the fallen ones, simulating the trees we see in Ukraine that are still standing but have lost their foliage (especially those with large roots—it's weird when they are in the ground, you'll agree with me that it breaks immersion, lol.). It would look amazing!

Your mod works great. I have my own version where I merged the CLV crater mod with defoliating munitions and patched it to work with Blastcore. The models aren't as good as yours, but it works for me. Your job is amazing!

can you add just dead trees instead fallen trees?
Неужели это кто-то сделал

Defoliating Munitions is not working with Blastcore and similar and it uses "green" tree models instead of dead tree models. Also smaller explosions, like projectiles do not work with it.
How does this compare to "Defoliating Munitions" that was released 3 years ago?

@Ↄ They just vanish. It looks passable

Also this is a very cool idea. Do you let the trees fall first or do they just vanish before spawning the dead ones?

@theop The explosions fell the trees. There is nothing incorrect about that
