I recently found a very odd bug, related to the Destructable Objects in Creative Mode. After a level I made was recently finished and published, someone has noticed a bug where the platforms you normally stand on broke at a random time when they weren't supposed to. I'll be going over every detail I have found, to maybe find a solution for this

The level:
My level Rolling Railways and Shape Up (the level that inspired mine) are both levels where you need to stand on Destructable platforms that only break with high forces, and avoid the ones that will break based on what tube the balls roll into. (see image below or go to my level's thread: https://discord.com/channels/662246299369734154/1345757809043705949)

The bug:
My level and Shape Up has a bug where the platforms break at a random time, even though they are not supposed to because they require high forces to break. This seems to be impacted by the bean(s) standing ontop of them, as seen in the video below (sorry for the bad quality, I play on a laptop)
It also looks like the bug is worse the more players play it. I've heard of instances where some platforms broke almost immediately after the round started. Also, the bug seems to not happen in the Level Editor, hence why I never knew about this

#

Potential causes:
I have found 2 causes to this: The destructable objects themselves, that for some reason get triggered into breaking. Or lag, since the level uses a ton of Physics and Destructable objects

What’s probably not the cause?

  • The padded beams that are normally the only way to break the platforms that fall from these bean barriers never seemed to be accidently toppling over and breaking the platforms below (see image)
#
  • The objects around the Destructable objects don’t cause this, since I’ve tested this by removing objects that are touching them, and the bug still happened

Sorry for writing almost a dictionary here, but I wanted to make everything clear to look for a possible solution. If this gets fixed, Shape Up and Destructable objects will both be fixed. Thank you for reading!
Also thanks to @fair vessel for discovering and telling me about this bug!

Just to clarify and to put all the stuff I wrote into a few sentences:
The Destructable objects that require high forces seem to be bugged when a bean stands ontop of them. They can break at a random time when they are not supposed to. Tho we never just saw a Destructable objects break randomly. Only if (a) bean(s) stand ontop of them
Hoping this wil get fixed someday

have you tried using a different object for the platforms?

#

maybe pillars (which i guess you're using) are bugged (?)

Has anyone found a solution for this issue? I realized that one of my maps is being affected by it
