Hey there! I have an issue where if you use Explosion.Hit:Connect(function() end)
the explosion seems to not detect any big parts. It can detect small parts pretty well! But nothing as big as a house. It seems to ignore those big parts.
Is there any solution around this problem?
There could be a number of reasons why the explosion is not detecting big parts. One possible explanation is that the hitbox of the bigger parts are too large and the explosion is not able to register a hit due to the way it is programmed. One possible solution could be to increase the range of the explosion so that it encompasses a larger area and is more likely to hit the bigger parts. Another solution could be to adjust the hitbox sizes of the bigger parts so that they are more compatible with the explosion’s hit detection ability. Another option could be to use a different type of explosion altogether, such as one that is designed to work with larger parts.
This might help:
Make sure the part has adequate mass that would affect explosion
Ah ok!
But what do you mean?
“Another solution could be to adjust the hitbox sizes of the bigger parts so that they are more compatible with the explosion’s hit detection ability.”
So you mean just make the part smaller? Or something else?
“Another option could be to use a different type of explosion altogether, such as one that is designed to work with larger parts.”
And how could I make a new explosion designed to work with bigger parts?
I changed the Density of the part to .01 the smallest density and its mass turned to 40 mass (prior was 9000 mass). But it still doesn’t detect the explosion!
How would changing the mass cause it to detect the explosion?
Just had this happen to me today.
Parts over a certain size don’t trigger the Explosion.Hit event at all, regards of any of their other properties.
I just discovered that myself as well. The explosion only captures objects whose PIVOT is within the blast radius. Its not working off shell volume.
If you’ve got a house ( or in my case, a UFO ) that is 300 units across, a projectile with a blast radius of 12 will never hit close enough to center. The solution ( in my case ) was to increase the models complexity / number of parts. Optionally I could have increased the blast radius to 150+ ( and did to test this ) but that isn’t quite fair to players lol
Huh, I never would have guessed but knowing that is super helpful.
Thanks for sharing!
