Could someone please tell me why this explosion isn't working or visible?

Nope other explosions work just fine when used with my code, just this one isn't.

Check the console log to make sure the script can find the explosion shape and that there are no errors related to the explosion.

Also make sure the Explosion is included in the scripts before you actually assign it. So in a vehicle script file it shuold be added to the top of the file, not the bottom. Or include the file it's in at the top of the vehicle file.
