[SOLVED] Can't get editor object to shatter

[christian.shiel]

I am working off the shatter examples.

 

I have added an editor object called crate, it is setup as a dynamic mesh with a fracture.

 

I call this code from script but nothing happens.

Node n = engine.editor.getNodeByName("crate"); 
BodyFracture bf = class_cast("BodyFracture", n); 
bf.createShatterPieces(10); 

No errors in console either.

Hello,

You try to convert object to body and class_cast() converts an instance of one class to another without warnings, even if those classes have nothing in common.

So, it's better to use the following code instead:
 

Node n = engine.editor.getNodeByName("crate");
ObjectMeshDynamic mesh = class_cast("ObjectMeshDynamic", n);
BodyFracture bf = body_cast(mesh.getBody());
bf.createShatterPieces(10);

Also, check Threshold value in Nodes -> Body -> Threshold field. It should be less than 1.
