Godot Destruction Physics

Question

Wanted to share a project I'm currently working on. I'm using Godot 4.0 alpha for this project to get familiar with all the new changes and features and I have to say that it is working pretty good for an alpha.

Ideas I have in mind: -more basic shapes like cylinders and ramps -smart object placement -runtime import of pre-fractured objects -smoke/dust effects -save/load level -multiplayer first version (building is synchronized but destruction is only client side) -multiplayer second version (destruction is also synchronized) <- not sure if this will work good enough

Note that this might be another project that dies early because I only work on my projects just for fun without any big plans in mind.

Answer 1

Destructibility is a very interesting but extremely complex topic. With great interest I study your work. And if you destroy a column in the middle, not at the top — will the top that is left intact drop off?

Yeah realistic destruction is a really complex topic but that is not the point of this project :D I will keep the physics pretty simple and the current state is close to what I wanted to have. Falling blocks if they are floating is something I would like to do but its not a high priority right now. More complex things like structural integrity are not planned.

Answer 5

That is really awesome and super impressive! It is so fluid and the breakage looks like it comes from the collision point (or close to), which is way cooler than the type of destruction I’ve done in the past (swapping model with destroyed model once damage is taken).

Really cool stuff! 🙂
