How do I make bomb chaining?

Yo, I’m trying to make a bomb chaining system in my game. Currently, bombs are handled in the script for the hammers, any idea how to make the bombs chain?

Here’s the current code for the bomb detection.

function detect(thing)
	if thing.Parent.Name == "Engine" or thing.Name == "Bomb"  then
		local kaboom = Instance.new("Explosion")
		kaboom.BlastRadius = 10
		kaboom.Parent = thing
		kaboom.Position = thing.Position
		kaboom.BlastPressure = 800000
		kaboom.Visible = false
		thing.CanCollide=false
		thing.Transparency = 1
		local what = game.ServerStorage["explosion part"]:Clone()
		what.Position = thing.Position
		what.Parent = workspace
		what.ParticleEmitter:Emit(300)
		what.explode:Play()
		wait(2)
		what:Destroy()
elseif thing.Name == "Nuke" then
			local kaboom = Instance.new("Explosion")
			kaboom.BlastRadius = 35
			kaboom.Parent = thing
			kaboom.Position = thing.Position
			kaboom.BlastPressure = 1500000
			kaboom.Visible = false
			thing.CanCollide=false
			thing.Transparency = 1
			local what = game.ServerStorage["nuke part"]:Clone()
			what.Position = thing.Position
			what.Parent = workspace
			what.ParticleEmitter:Emit(600)
			what.explode:Play()
			wait(2)
			what:Destroy()
	end
	end
				collide.Hit:Connect(detect) ---this is an explosion instance

What do you mean by a bomb chaining system?

#3

hit a bomb > bomb sets off next bomb > etc

#4

Do you want it to set off all bombs within a certain radius? In which case you could just make a table of bombs within x magnitude of the bomb and then do function calls for every bomb in that table.

e.g

--explosions and stuff

function explosion_chain(tab)
	for i,v in pairs(tab) do
		explode(v)
	end
end

Or something similar.

when i meant “bomb chaining” i meant a bomb chain reaction, kind of like dominoes

Yes, I understand what you mean - but how are you deciding which bomb explodes next? Either way any sequence of bombs could be put into an ordered table and applied to a variation of the function I’ve typed.

#7

You could just connect the detect function to the “kaboom” explosions’ Hit event. You would probably need a check like if thing.Transparency < 1 so that bombs that already exploded don’t explode again

Since you are using roblox explosions, you can connect a function to explosion.hit and check if the hit object is another bomb. Then you could somehow activate the other bomb, maybe by updating a value

You can use WorldRoot:GetPartBoundsInRadius to detect what parts the explosion hits and check if the returned table contains another bomb
