Grenade explosion - forces on objects- Collider solution

[shivachristy]

This is the moment a grenade explodes forcing the surrounding objects away.
(The obvious scaling solution doesnt work how you would expect)

I have on my Avatars AI a variable called nExplode set to 0

In my scene I have created 4 cones and tagged them cone1,cone2,cone3,cone4.
cone 1 diameter 1 and height 1, cone 2 diameter and height 2 etc. these objects have a material set to opacity 0 and colliders are set on.

These cones are moved in to position in succession to emulate force.

so I have on my Avatars AI - a handler called onExplode

Code: Select all

function AIAvatar.onExplode (  )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   

   
   local hScene = application.getCurrentUserScene ( )
    local hUser = application.getCurrentUser ( )
   
 
    local nExplode = this.nExplode ( )
   
    local grenade = scene.getTaggedObject  ( hScene, "grenade" )
    local cone1 = scene.getTaggedObject  ( hScene, "cone1" )
    local cone2 = scene.getTaggedObject  ( hScene, "cone2" )
    local cone3 = scene.getTaggedObject  ( hScene, "cone3" )
    local cone4 = scene.getTaggedObject  ( hScene, "cone4" )
   
    if (nExplode ==0 ) then
   
        local X,Y,Z = object.getTranslation ( grenade,object.kGlobalSpace )
        object.setTranslation ( grenade, 0, -100, 0, object.kGlobalSpace )
        object.setTranslation ( cone1, X, Y, Z, object.kGlobalSpace )
    end
   
    if (nExplode ==1 ) then
   
        local X,Y,Z = object.getTranslation ( cone1,object.kGlobalSpace )
        object.setTranslation ( cone1, 0, -200, 0, object.kGlobalSpace )
        object.setTranslation ( cone2, X, Y, Z, object.kGlobalSpace )
    end
   
     if (nExplode ==2 ) then
   
        local X,Y,Z = object.getTranslation ( cone2,object.kGlobalSpace )
        object.setTranslation ( cone2, 0, -300, 0, object.kGlobalSpace )
        object.setTranslation ( cone3, X, Y, Z, object.kGlobalSpace )
    end
   
     if (nExplode ==3 ) then
   
        local X,Y,Z = object.getTranslation ( cone3,object.kGlobalSpace )
        object.setTranslation ( cone3, 0, -400, 0, object.kGlobalSpace )
        object.setTranslation ( cone4, X, Y, Z, object.kGlobalSpace )
    end
 
    if(nExplode==4)then
     object.setTranslation ( cone4, 0, -500, 0, object.kGlobalSpace )

        this.nExplode ( 0)
    else
    this.nExplode ( nExplode + 1)
              this.postEvent ( 0.1,"onExplode" )
     
    end
     
   
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
end

So I have my code that throws a grenade,tagged grenade -

this starts my countdown to call the above handler
object.postEvent ( this.getObject ( ),5,"AIAvatar","onExplode" )

I hope this helps someone.
