Question by Julian · Aug 09, 2010 at 01:59 AM · physicseditordestroybullet

How do I break apart an object?

Basically I have a pixelated creature made up of these cubes and when hit by a bullet I want them to fall apart. So heres the code I wrote but for some reason it does not work.

var thePrefab : GameObject;

function OnTriggerEnter (myTrigger : Collider) { if (myTrigger.gameObject.name == "bullet(Clone)"){ var count : int = 0;

     while (count <= 20){
          var instance : GameObject = Instantiate(thePrefab, transform.position, transform.rotation);
          count++;
     }

     Destroy(gameObject);
     Destroy(myTrigger.gameObject);
 }

}

I'd get rid of this bit (var instance : GameObject = ) because you don't use the reference. Just keep the instantiate part. Also you might want to randomise the rotation and placement a bit as you'll get 20 objects in the same spot which would lag out the game as the physics tries to sort out the displacements.

You can loop through all the children in the object's hierarchy and unparent them and give them all colliders and rigidbodies.

do something like this:

for (var child : Transform in transform) { child.gameObject.AddComponent ("BoxCollider"); child.gameObject.AddComponent ("RigidBody"); }

transform.DetachChildren(); Destroy(gameObject);

Is the OnTriggerEnter() method even triggered? Try putting a Debug.Log("blah") in there to be sure...

Do you have a collider on the character? Is it set as a trigger collider?

Is there a RigidBody component on the bullets or the character?

More info will help :)
