Disregard the last comment, for some reason it wasn’t posted correctly, I’ll try again:
There’s a bug when one calls Explode() instead of using explode on start. If you play for a long time (more than 1000 seconds), there is a code in Update which deletes the detonator after that time. The code:

private float _lastExplosionTime = 1000f;
void Update ()
{
if (destroyTime > 0f)
{
if (_lastExplosionTime + destroyTime 0)
{
Invoke(“KillDetonator”, destroyTime);
}
}

void KillDetonator()
{
Destroy(gameObject);
}

I would like to know how to make the explosions look like that. My detonator explsions all look really fake and are seperated in squares and stufF. if you could send my the instructions for each detonator explosion that would be great!

where is the documentation as to how to use this? I have seen the Unity3d file on your website but no clue as to how to use this.

I think they are doing it but they are going to but all the others in the new Unity, instead of a package. So that may take some time. They are also probably slacking off a little now because the deadline is out there and they just have to stick it in the new Unity, which won’t becoming for a couple of months. *-)

What happened to the projects selected for Summer of Code? Actually I thought I asked this 2 weeks ago here. Somehow my post seemed to vanish… Curious.

It was not designed for iPhone and I haven’t tried it myself. Way too many draw calls to be usable most of the time, but it’s possible that the Detonator-Simple prefab might work alright since it’s only one texture for all pieces.

To make it iPhone friendly in the future, I want to add a feature to Detonator where it will render its explosion to an animated texture in some kind of wizard or editor. If anyone wants to help with that, drop me a line.

Doesnt work….

Phenomenal work!
I especially enjoy the MushroomCloud.
Thanks for all your hard work.
We won’t even need to change out our character placeholders, with explosions like that, who cares.

+1: does it work on iPhone? (no generics)
If yes, how fast is it? If not, do you think it’s realistic to port it? (in terms of performance)
Kudos btw, looks awesome!

Please tell us when you’ll repost that package! I’m anxious to us your explosions in my game!

Looks cool. Will it work in Unity IPhone?

By: Ben Throop

Ben Throop — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 02:02:48 +0000

OK thanks to all for the bug reports and apologies for difficulties with Unity Indie… I’ll get it worked out and we’ll repost a package with fixes.

DetonatorSound.Update () (at Assets/Detonator/System/DetonatorSound.cs:27)
That is what’s stopping my console.

My first test worked, but with all the other projects I added the package to, it wouldn’t work! Even in the test scene! I click, and there isn’t an explosion. And when I create my own, the same thing happens!!!

Really nice stuff, at least in your video
I am sure it will get fixed, and then it will bring endless and mindless joy to all the explosion fanatics out there.

It crashes on my Unity 2.5 Indie on Windows.
The scene loads and there are few errors, 2 related to the shader you mentioned, and the rest to some deprecated function calls.
Everything then crashes after I click in the scene.

Fantastic work!

I really appreciate that this works great with Indie too – as long as you remember to get rid of the heatwave in import

Thanks!

Works on Unity Pro Mac here. Nice job Ben!

By: Ben Throop

Ben Throop — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:43:31 +0000

@MikeS – Yep, does work on Mac (I also tested on a Macbook). However, the default explosion in the test scene Detonator-Insanity creates a Heatwave which uses a shader that I believe is Unity Pro only. That might be what’s doing that. The Heatwave is the only thing that is Pro only… everything else should work with Indie.

If you create a Detonator from scratch it won’t use the heatwave, and I’d guess that the NullRef asserts won’t show up.

By: Mike S.

Mike S. — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 13:56:52 +0000

Should this work on the Mac? When I try to play the test scene, I get a series of NullReferenceExceptions for any explosions I try to make? I’m on the latest rev of Unity Indie.
