DebrisShapeName & explosionShape

Im trying to use these fields in 'DebrisData' & 'ExplosionData' to have a dts model show up in the explosion. For whatever reason I can only get a dts to appear by adding (in the FlyingVehicleData datablock of the object im blowing up):

explosion = theExplosion;
Debris = theDebris;
debrisShapeName = "~/data/shapes/vehicles/debris/debris.dts";

This is almost what I want but I want my explosionData, and/or my debrisData to also have a shape attached and not just particles. Can someone explain why this might be happening?


This is part of the debris datablock;

datablock DebrisData(theDebris2)
{
debrisShapeName = "~/data/shapes/vehicles/debris/debris.dts";
...
}

But in the above debris no object will be there, only the particles I set up, and its the same object that shows up in the FlyingVehicleData datablock.
