SubtractMesh?

I know that there's an AddMesh() command and use it to build characters. But I've searched the code archives for a "SubtractMesh" function and haven't found one. Most high-end modeller programs have a "subtractmesh" or "boolean" tool to remove a section from a mesh. I would absolutely love one of these for explosive damage or other uses (I've made a crater function for terrains, but it obviously doesn't work on meshes). But I admit, I am no good with vertex commands.

Making a subtract mesh command work in real time at a decent framerate would be quite hard.

Perhaps, but it wouldn't need to be precise.

Well, I finally found it in the depths of the code archives! But you're right, it is incredibally slow (I'll work on it!).
