How do I create this type of damage?

First Pic : http://www.beamng.com/threads/splitable-covet.21931/
Second Pic : Usually a glitch, but you can get the effect o the tire by puncturing them (Drive on spiky objects, thin metal bars, etc)

 

The pic with the nascar is a WIP vehicle, however you can get that type of damage with the pigeon, and a few bumpers and carbon fiber hoods in game, it you crash hard enough it just makes that part of the vehicle disappear to give the impression it broke off, (doesn't work on all vehicles).

 

such vehicles use this kind of damage?

 

Iv'e only noticed it on the pigeon, the bumpers and carbon fiber hoods on the covet and 200bx. The trailers also get this kind of damage

 

And first model damage? "Covet"

 

The second one is called mesh breaking. its a parameter in the beams section.

 

I recall a dev saying somewhere that it's the game's way of interpreting a beam breaking in a mesh-ed object. These breakages occur on brittle parts (or in the case of the split-able covet, along predefined points in the body where breakages are allowed to occur) in extreme circumstances. Since plastic, carbon fiber, and fiberglass don't bend so much as break in heavy impacts, the node beam structure can only interpret a "break" in these parts by breaking the beam and removing the visible mesh that once occupied the area that the beam was in. IIRC it is/was supposed to be a temporary solution for brittle materials, but I'm not sure whether or not they will ever be able to replace it with anything better than what we have now.

 

Pic 1: Spitable covet mod, I think it's nearly outdated though, hasn't been updated in a while
Pic 2: That's a WIP, also, what you have circled is a glitch that isn't supposed to happen

 

that can be used to prevent spikes from happening, like the ambulance. so it is supposed to happen to prevent spikes (i think)

 

Sounds about right

 

how i create this effect?

 

It's not an effect, it's a glitch that happens on mods

 

I get it! I'm telling you how to create the model of the damage covet

 

Its not a glitch!! Its called mesh breaking and you can enable/disable in beams section. Ill edit this with the parameter

edit
to create that covet damage, you would have to edit the values of certain beams in the body jbeam to allow it break, that way the car can split in two.

as for mesh breaking:
put this at the beginning of the beams you want the mesh to break, like the fender shape section, but NOT the rigidfiers

Code:

{"disableMeshBreaking":false},

then put this where you want mesh breaking to end

Code:

{"disableMeshBreaking":true},

finally, edit the beam strength values to allow those beams to break

 

not work

 

Did you edit the beam strength? mind posting the section you added it to in code tags?

 

It appears you didnt edit beam strength. The one thats one line above, remove "FLT_MAX" and replace it with a number like 12000(that could be wayyy off, just guessing), edit that number up or down to whatever works, and make sure you close the mesh breaking wherever in the beams section you want to end mesh breaking.

 

okay working!! tnx
