Sounds like the player debris function is exactly what you're after, pity it doesn't work. I'm using an explosion debris for a wheeled vehicle and that works just fine, I think somewhere along the line the player debris was broken and have never bothered to investigate it as I have no need for such a feature.

Sorry I can't be much help, check out the player source files and perhaps you can find the fault and fix it.

Hey Max, Im not a coder, but from what I hear AFX is extremely flexible to put fx anywhere at any time, I think that could help you do a lot of gibbage easier. Just an Idea.
