Let a destroyed building shake and sink, while its ground is open to units at once

A building that vanishes in one frame looks cheap, and one that sinks slowly while units still cannot walk through it makes paths go the long way round a ghost. This entry gives the motion curve of a collapse, with a shake that dies out, and says when the ground and the building must stop being the same thing.

Why this works

The rules and the picture work on different clocks. Once a building is destroyed, the game must treat it as gone straight away, or units wait for nothing, while the picture takes a moment to show what happened. Splitting the two keeps play fair and the drama visible.

When not to use it

Wrong when the ruin matters, such as a wall that keeps blocking while it burns, a collapsing tower that crushes units or a rubble pile that stays an obstacle. Then the ground must stay closed until the fall is truly over.
