Rigidbodies violently repel when replacing with pre-shattered opject
Intro
Working on a semi-realistic destruction simulation and was doing some initial testing. I 'm attempting to require a certain amount of force before an object breaks. The nature of the simulation would require multiple objects all colliding with each other.
The Problem
A cube is set to instantiate a "cut up" version of itself upon receiving a certain amount of force (mimicking weaknesses in materials. The code to achieve this is given below:
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision) {
if (collision.relativeVelocity.magnitude > MagnitudeThreshold) {
Object.Destroy (this.gameObject);
GameObject Fracture = (GameObject)Instantiate (Prefab, transform.position, transform.rotation);
} else {
}
On it's own the cube breaks as expected, but when multiple "breakable" cubes are stacked and the bottom cube is removed a large "explosion" occurs - not very realistic (shown bottom image). When the "broken" prefab versions of the cubes are arranged identically they behave as expected, as shown top image.
When you instantiated your prefab pieces, then their collider overlap which cause the violent explosion. Add a script to prevent the overlap when instantiating.
Another thing you could do is say that it's a feature and not a bug.
After some fiddling I finally worked it out for myself. In the physics project settings I enable Adaptive Force and ramped up the Default Solver Velocity Iterations. This resulted in a much better collsion detecting and far more realistic results.
I'll wait to see if someone has a better solution before marking the best answer.
