About
In X-Ray, Dynamic Objects can be breakable if you set them up correctly.
Start
First, we need a model that you have made or downloaded. I'll have one of those:
Choose your model and duplicate it.
When breaking a model, a separate, already broken model will be spawned. It can be divided parts of the original object or the same object, but with a different number of bones and Bone Shapes.
Note that the broken parts should repeat the place as in the original model. For example:
We need to divide the parts of the original model into component parts:
Bones
Main article: Setup Dynamic Object in Blender
For the main object we need to create a bone and a Bone Shape and Joint Type - Rigid.
For parts of the object we will also need to create our own bones and Bone Shapes.
Surface
Shader
Compiler
Material
Main article: Creating Game Material in SDK
The main object needs to be matched with a suitable Game Material (where the Breakable flag is set). List of all materials.
Finish
At the end we should have two models. One for the unbroken version of the object, and one for the broken one.
Go to Object Properties
.
In X-Ray Engine: Object select Dynamic or Progressive Dynamic in the Type list.
