Is there a 3D equivalent to CreatePhysicsForce()? How would i go about blowing something up in 3D?


Unless there's a function for force i think i need to do it through linear velocity
which means i think i need to come up with a vector based on the center of the object (cx, cy, cz) and the center of the piece(px, py, pz). Any ideas?

(back from outa space)

In Blitz3d I had a nice routing for shattering glas windows(would have to convert).

I vaguely remember fubarpk doing something like this. Perhaps this is of help:

I did something kinda like this in DBP a long time ago. I used memblocks to just break the object down into individual triangles then just had them fall off. Basically, the object just collapsed into pieces.

You still have da codez? This maybe a solution to an effect I've been trying to create in my current project and would be fun to convert to AGK.

I'll have to dig for it. I also vaguely remember someone doing this with a teapot model, I might his code as well.

I'm not familiar with AGK's 3D commands or memblock structure (i assume its pretty similar). But essentially, loop through all the verts in the memblock as created from the model in question. Then create triangles and position them accordingly, essentially reconstructing the object itself. Then, when you want to explode the object, hide the original and display the collection of triangles, moving them however you want for your intended effect. Only thing I'm pretty sure isn't accounted for is texturing. That could get tricky but doable with UV manipulation. But if you explode it fast enough enough, spinning the triangles through the air I don't think anyone would really notice if a texture was missing on the pieces.

This is what i ended up with. I made separate models for all the bits. (I thought separating all the polys might not look right, and it was too much work!)
The interesting thing was i didn't need to apply any forces. I'm not sure why but i think it's because their physics shapes were overlapping and that naturally pushed them away from each other.
