Debris not showing

by Ken Davis · in Torque Game Engine · 12/06/2004 (6:50 am) · 1 replies

I have the following debris data block
datablock DebrisData(TankDebris)
{
   explodeOnMaxBounce = true; //false

   elasticity = 0.15;
   friction = 0.5;

   lifetime = 4.0;
   lifetimeVariance = 0.0;

   minSpinSpeed = 40;
   maxSpinSpeed = 600;

   numBounces = 5;
   bounceVariance = 1; //0
   
   staticOnMaxBounce = true;
   gravModifier = 1.0;

   useRadiusMass = true;
   baseRadius = 1;

   velocity = 20.0;
   velocityVariance = 12.0;
};
and in my tank datablock I have these lines
// debris
	debrisShapeName = "~/data/shapes/player/TankDestroyed/TankDestroyed.dts";
	debris = TankDebris;
	renderWhenDestroyed = false;
But the debris shape does not show. The regular tank is not there, but I can still see damage emitters. I think I have tried renderWhenDestroyed both ways and all it controlled was making the regular tank appear and disappear. Any ideas? Is there another piece I am missing?

datablock DebrisData(TankDebris)
{
   // ZOD--
   shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/player/TankDestroyed/TankDestroyed.dts";
   explosion = YourExplosionData;
   //--------
   explodeOnMaxBounce = true; //false
   elasticity = 0.15;
   friction = 0.5;
   lifetime = 4.0;
   lifetimeVariance = 0.0;
   minSpinSpeed = 40;
   maxSpinSpeed = 600;
   numBounces = 5;
   bounceVariance = 1; //0
   staticOnMaxBounce = true;
   gravModifier = 1.0;
   useRadiusMass = true;
   baseRadius = 1;
   velocity = 20.0;
   velocityVariance = 12.0;
};

You would probably want to add some emitters to the debris, like flames comming from them, if so, create teh emitters and then add them to the debrisData

emitters[0] = NameOfEmitter;
emitters[1] = NameOfEmitter;
