Below are methods to achieve effects using alternate methods.

Ground Level Explosions by Botolf

1. Use the elevation tool to create a hole in the ground. The square brush is recommended, as the buildings are square.
2. Place SPC_WeaponCache in the hole. The hole should be deep enough to hide most of the cache, but shallow enough to hide it with eye-candy.
3. Carefully fill any open spots. You should be able to have level ground up to the edge of the cache. Done carefully & correctly, the cache should have a tiny area where it can be seen.
4. Place any sort of eye-candy (emblishment, nature, etc.) at the edges to hide the cache.
5. Now you can rig the cache to explode using triggers, which can create nice explosion effects. How the explosion looks depends on the depth of the cache, so tinker with it until it feels right.
