Breaking glass

[Berken]

Hi guys,

I want to break glass in Leadwerks. I want to breaking glass when I shoot with a gun or glass fall from high.

 

note: my english is bad so i'm sorry

This is an art problem. Everyone can figure out how to hide one model and replace it with a bunch of broken pieces, but you need the model / texture to make this.

The simple way is when a collision occurs, you just hide the existing model and show a bunch of fragments that represent the broken model. You need to understand how entity scripts work in order to do this:

The Newton API is all accessible in C++. I have not gotten into the breakage stuff yet because I felt like it wouldn't work like people expect, and would just open the door to more requests, and would always be considered incomplete. Physics breakage tends to work well for a single object that all breaks at once, but it doesn't work well when you get into supporting structures, like one piece falling because another was destroyed.

Do we have an example on how to use it somewhere? Searching the API docs for Newton brings back 6 results but only 1 example, which only seems to initialize it.

They aren't Leadwerks commands, I mean the original Newton SDK:
