Godot Destructible environment and physics

[@somedude5951]

Will become harder, once textures get implemented. Like, getting breaks on the bricks, different materials that behave differently, and so fort. Tear Down used voxels. But it looks awesome.

Any update on this, i would like to do a project where you can "cut" out parts of a mesh but im not sure how to go about it. I saw on the other video you mention you split the mesh into smaller meshes then it collapses. I am fairly new to godot and this is exactly the sort of mechanic im looking to implement, so would appreciate it if i could get a look at the code or you could point me in the direction of some docs to read.

On the face of it, it's not that complicated, but it does get a bit fiddly with the various 3D model aspects and the maths. To create a hole, I convert the original cube into 4 smaller cubes, which together cover the same area as the original cube but leaves a hole in the middle, and once they get too small I turn them into RigidBodies. Creating a new cube mesh is straightforward (CubeMesh.new()) and set its position and dimensions. Then add a collision shape of the same dimensions (e.g. BoxShape.new()), and finally add a material (probably re-using the same material as the parent). Although if you're new to Godot, it could be quite challenging. :)
