how would i stop the parts from regenerating and just make it so they disappear after the timeToDestroy thingy?

when i handle voxels on the client using :CreateHitbox
and then destroy the voxels on the server it starts make duplicates of whats remaining of the part destroyed
so then whenever i try to destroy it on the client again, itll duplicate the amount of voxels

how do i get it to play audio when its broken

Is this way better than voxbreaker??? And can it be handled well in the server like jjs?

I wouldn’t say its ‘better’ than VB since any kind of voxel destruction tools on roblox are a great step in the right direction.
It is very performant though if that is what you’re asking, at least if you dont go overboard with it. It has features like greedy meshing and part cache to help reduce part count and make it run smoothly on the server. I mean with any large amount of parts created quickly you will have lag, but theres features for making your voxel and debris sizes relative to compensate for that.
Any tool like this is going to have some lag, mine reduces it as much as possible using the same techniques in JJS but it won’t be enough to compensate for your games lag if you don’t use it mindfully.

Finally got around to releasing it and making a page for it, but then the mods had to be vultures and close the thread before I had time to make all my changes. 
Hope its fine if I post it here, I’d like to see it used successfully.

how should i make a hitbox that follows the player performant
because each time, i use moveable hitbox and just make it unanchor every voxel caught in the hitbox and that always ends up lagging a lot if i ever hit the ground unless i raise the voxel size above something like 4 or 5

You’ll have to share your usage of this function, as well as what your code looks like on the client.

whenever i try to voxelize a single part with partcache on it returns a error. (server)
local VoxBreaker = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.VoxBreaker)
local vox = VoxBreaker:VoxelizePart(game.Workspace.PART, 5, 3)
ReplicatedStorage.Modules.VoxBreaker.PartCache:141: Attempted to return part "Breakable" (Workspace.Placee.Breakable) to the cache, but it's not in-use! Did you call this on the wrong part?
i also get errors like these from voxelizing parts in a model (server) – Not home rn so code below may be from a old script
local VoxBreaker = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.VoxBreaker)
for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace.Train:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("Part") then
local voxelize2 = VoxBreaker:VoxelizePart(v, 5, 3)
end
end
The Parent property of Part is locked, current parent: NULL, new parent VoxelHolder
ReplicatedStorage.Modules.VoxBreaker:443: attempt to index nil with 'IsA'

Some of the big parts or the outer parts are being counted somehow as a debris.
Is there any fix for this since its pretty annoying

Yeah this is a bug. Theres a few other issues that i will be fixing in the next update as well.

for some reason the table of the dissected parts return nil, any clue to why this is? The hitboxes do get created, that I am sure of, because the parts light up. However the part doesn’t get voxelated.

Resolved, forgot to add attribute ‘Destroyable’

I’m having an issue with starting moveable hitboxes right now. Error : 12:12:41.498 ReplicatedStorage.Modules.VoxBreaker:1231: attempt to index nil with ‘Part’ - Client - VoxBreaker:1231 .
Here is the localscript that is running VoxBreaker :

local function shuffleTable(t)

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix?
EDIT: YOU CAN FIX IT BY DOING
parts:Start()
parts:Stop()
parts:Destroy()
--Instead of doing
parts.Start()
parts.Stop()
parts.Destroy()
@Bartokens is there a way to make the module destroy the parts of the main part clean it up but not reset the main part
You mean to not reset the part after a duration? You would do this by just setting reset time to -1 or any number below zero
no like don’t reset specific parts with stuff in them i have this building mechanic and if you destroy them they wouldn’t reset used with a diff voxel module but i like the parts flying out of this module and destroying themselves after a period of time.
easier terms if it has a value in the part that gets destroyed → it doesnt reset except for the little voxel parts
So in other words you want the voxels to be reset but not the original part? I mean an easy way to do this would be to just set the reset time to below zero, and then destroy the voxels manually
