How should i approach this?

[zealous girder]

Right im making a blox tales Transition thing as to reference the game to m ygame without causing copyright issues.

But i cant really get the "Exploding" parts to get going cause VPF are only for rendering, how should i do this instead?

I already have a V1 of it

which is this

But i want to get the exploding one, since its actually cool asl

i dont have experience in vpf but cant you just apply force to the parts?

to my knowledge vpf is kind of like a camera so just apply force to the parts its watching

[split mortar]

viewportframes are just like the 3d viewport, when you add a camera to it you will be able to see any parts parented to the viewport, im unsure what OP wants due to the lack of a reference though. 🤷‍♂️

[ruby stone]

if you were desperate to workaround VPF then make ur own VPF system

make parts be shown on the players screen by constantly positioning and rotating the parts according to the player’s camera position and orientation

since it’s happening locally then the parts created won’t be seen by others

that way you can workaround VPF

[fleet locust]

hes looking for a way to apply force to the parts essentially

[split mortar]

cant u use linearvelocity for that?

[fleet locust]

thats what i suggested

the parts that show up and build up on screen btw

[zealous girder]

again, as i said

VPF is just for rendering

not for physics

so i dont know how to approach this

( thanks to sinister for ts 🥹 )

im not so sure about if they did use VPF at all

[zealous girder]

LinearVelocity wouldnt work whatso ever

its not really built for physics

[split mortar]

i actually did not know that, perhaps (like how @ruby stone suggested) ditch the viewport frames and place physical parts infront of the player camera locally

[zealous girder]

ah, i see i see. ill see on what i can do, thanks!

[split mortar]

you're welcome, ill check the dev forum for similar threads if that could be of help!

to summarize, the answer given was to use worldmodels, now these cant provide full physics to vpf's but can allow for joints & animation, you could consider this and simply animate said explosion of parts?

it'd be much less of a headache.

you can tweak the numbers to make it better

if this is to your liking

i can help on it

i just used and explosion to make them scatter

can change the explosions position and power

to your liking

i just connceted it all to my camera

[zealous girder]

damn

local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
repeat task.wait()
until #workspace.framez:GetChildren() == 16
local clone = workspace.framez:Clone()
clone.Parent = cam

runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
    clone:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(cam.CFrame)
end)

task.wait(2)
local val = 500
local exp = Instance.new("Explosion")

exp.Position = (cam.CFrame:Lerp(clone.middle.CFrame,.6)*CFrame.new(0,1,0)).Position
for i, v in clone:GetChildren() do
    if v.Name ~= "cam" then
        v.Anchored = false
    end
end

exp.Visible = false
exp.BlastRadius = 5
exp.BlastPressure = 300000/2.5
exp.DestroyJointRadiusPercent = 0
exp.ExplosionType = Enum.ExplosionType.NoCraters
exp.Parent = clone.middle

just as an example, you might want to change things according to your game

[zealous girder]

Thank you! Ill check this out soon! :D

[rugged token]

btw i added vector force to each part to give them a slow falling effect

[zealous girder]

THANK YOU!! THIS WORKED SO WELL!
