A script that takes a sprite, divides it into blocks and makes them explode 💥!

Right now, the sprites must be squares or rectangles for this script to work properly.

Each destructible object must follow this structure and must be its own Scene file.

RigidBody2D
├── Sprite
└── CollisionShape2D
    └── RectangleShape2D

• Create a Node2D that will contain all the destructibles objects (e.g. destructible_objects).
• Add a Node2D as a child node of the prior Node2D (e.g. destructible_object_01).
• Instance the destructible_object scene file.
• Attach explode_object.gd to the destructible object as a Script.

The reason for organizing it this way is because then you can add particles (Partcicles2D or CPUParticles2D), fake particles (like the ones provided with this project), hitboxes (Area2D) or whatever you feel like to the Node2D (e.g. destructible_object_01) holding the main RigidBody2D and you can then use this script to control those nodes.

Of course, you can recreate that tree in GDSscript, with something like this:

var node = Node2D.new()
node.name = "destructible_container"
get_parent().add_child(node, true)

var rigid_body = RigidBody2D.new()
rigid_body.name = "destructible_object"

var sprite = Sprite.new()
# Set the sprite's texture, size, etc.
sprite.texture = preload("res://path/to/texture.png")
...

var collision = CollisionShape2D.new()
collision.shape = RectangleShape2D.new()
collision.shape.extents = Vector2(..., ...)

rigid_body.add_child(sprite, true)
rigid_body.add_child(collision, true)

var script = preload("res://path/to/explode_object.gd")
rigid_body.set_script(script)

# Here you can set the 'rigid_body' variables from the script.
rigid_body.blocks_per_side = ...
rigid_body.blocks_impulse = ...

node.add_child(rigid_body, true)

Example: 4 block per side makes a total of 16 blocks.

Sum all the values of the layers.

Example: Layer 1 value is 1. Layer 5 value is 16. So collision_layers would be 17.

Sometimes object.detonate is set to false so quickly that the explosion never happens. If this happens, try setting explosion_delay to true.

This project provides an extra script for creating fake explosion particles. That script uses a group name to be able to find the fake explosion particles more easily.

• Me 😛 hiulit.

Thanks to:

• Airvikar - For this Youtube video that is the code base for this script.
• Securas - For all the great games and Twitch streams that give me lots of ideas, and particularly, the destructible objects one.
• Scott Lembcke - For letting me know about Voronoi regions (which aren't currently available) and helping me with adding more depth to the explosion (random collisions and z-index).
