Godot 3 2D Destructible Objects

A script that takes a sprite, divides it into blocks and makes them explode 💥!

Godot-3-2D-Destructible-Objects

Limitations

Right now, the sprites must be squares or rectangles for this script to work properly.

Prerequisites

Each destructible object must follow this structure and must be its own Scene file.

RigidBody2D
├── Sprite
└── CollisionShape2D
    └── RectangleShape2D

Usage

Create a Node2D that will contain all the destructibles objects (e.g. destructible_objects).
Add a Node2D as a child node of the prior Node2D (e.g. destructible_object_01).
Instance the destructible_object scene file.
Attach explode_object.gd to the destructible object as a Script.

Godot-3-2D-Destructible-Objects-Tree

The reason for organizing it this way is because then you can add particles (Partcicles2D or CPUParticles2D), fake particles (like the ones provided with this project), hitboxes (Area2D) or whatever you feel like to the Node2D (e.g. destructible_object_01) holding the main RigidBody2D and you can then use this script to control those nodes.

Of course, you can recreate that tree in GDSscript, with something like this:

var node = Node2D.new()
node.name = "destructible_container"
get_parent().add_child(node, true)

var rigid_body = RigidBody2D.new()
rigid_body.name = "destructible_object"

var sprite = Sprite.new()
# Set the sprite's texture, size, etc.
sprite.texture = preload("res://path/to/texture.png")
...

var collision = CollisionShape2D.new()
collision.shape = RectangleShape2D.new()
collision.shape.extents = Vector2(..., ...)

rigid_body.add_child(sprite, true)
rigid_body.add_child(collision, true)

var script = preload("res://path/to/explode_object.gd")
rigid_body.set_script(script)

# Here you can set the 'rigid_body' variables from the script.
rigid_body.blocks_per_side = ...
rigid_body.blocks_impulse = ...

node.add_child(rigid_body, true)

Parameters

Godot-3-2D-Destructible-Objects-Parameters

Blocks Per Side

Name	Type	Description	Default
`blocks_per_side`	`int`	The blocks per side. Minium `2`. Maximum `10` (for performance reasons).	`6`

Example: 4 block per side makes a total of 16 blocks.

Blocks Impulse

Name	Type	Description	Default
`blocks_impulse`	`float`	The force of the blocks when they explode.	`600`

Blocks Gravity Scale

Name	Type	Description	Default
`blocks_gravity_scale`	`float`	The gravity of the blocks.	`10`

Debris max time

Name	Type	Description	Default
`debris_max_time`	`float`	The seconds it will pass until the blocks become `STATIC` or, if `remove_debris` is set to `true`, they dissapear.	`5`

Remove debris

Name	Type	Description	Default
`remove_debris`	`bool`	Controls whether the debris stays or disappears. If set to `true`, the debris will dissapear when `debris_max_time` is over.	`false`

Collision layers

Name	Type	Description	Default
`collision_layers`	`int`	The collision layers of the blocks.	`1`

Sum all the values of the layers.

Example: Layer 1 value is 1. Layer 5 value is 16. So collision_layers would be 17.

Collision masks

Name	Type	Description	Default
`collision_masks`	`int`	The collision masks of the blocks.	`1`

Sum all the values of the layers.

Example: Layer 1 value is 1. Layer 5 value is 16. So collision_layers would be 17.

Collision one way

Name	Type	Description	Default
`collision_one_way`	`bool`	Set `one_way_collision` for the blocks.	`false`

Explosion delay

Name	Type	Description	Default
`explosion_delay`	`bool`	Adds a delay of before setting `object.detonate` to `false`.	`false`

Sometimes object.detonate is set to false so quickly that the explosion never happens. If this happens, try setting explosion_delay to true.

Fake explosions group

Name	Type	Description	Default
`fake_explosions_group`	`String`	Renames the group's name of the fake explosion particles.	`fake_explosion_particles`

This project provides an extra script for creating fake explosion particles. That script uses a group name to be able to find the fake explosion particles more easily.

Randomize seed

Name	Type	Description	Default
`randomize_seed`	`bool`	Randomize the seed.	`false`

Debug mode

Name	Type	Description	Default
`debug_mode`	`bool`	Prints some debug data.	`false`
