Introduction to Chaos Destructible Mesh in Unreal Engine 5 - Learn The Basics in 7 Minutes! 

To those who have an issue with the mesh fracturing on start up change the object type to "Sleeping" this will prevent it from fracturing automatically

very very cool

Nice video

Question! My mesh breaks down right away on simulate after 2:44 in this video. Does this happen to larger meshes?

Alright, this hinted me towards the right direction. However, if I don't want to increase the size of the projectile, what else can I do? If I switch on Simulate Physics on either the Collision Sphere or the Static Mesh in the Projectile, it does affect the destructible, but at the cost of errors. And I can't get Fire Impulse, using Radial Force, to work. It says it should affect destructibles and I've played with Force, Impulse and Damage but it simply ignores it. Any ideas? (ooh, saw that you cover some of that in next video)

you're one of the best UE5 teachers on the platform. I love the way you deliver information, it's wonderful.

Hi mate. Can I just say I'm loving your channel. Good unique content, focused on UE5, and really clean tutorials/information. Keep it up, hope you get more subscribers! I have two quick questions; 1. On your reddit example - how did you add the explosion? 2. Is there a way to have a very large wall, and when the gun fires it only destroys that small section? When I try it at the moment, shooting a large object destroys the whole thing - I'd like to only make part of it destructible?

Hey great video, thank you. Small question here, placing my standard cube in the level, upon play, the cube breaks by itself. Could you point me in the right direction as to how to avoid that? I've searched quite a bit but either i've fallen in the wrong doc or i'm looking for the wrong info?

dude thanks for just making a quick guide, no BS straight to the point.

I had the problem that the mesh doesnt fracture every time. Fixed it by setting a delay of 0.01s before the bullet gets destroyed

All very good yes thank you. but what if i want to only chip off parts of the block and not explode it all with the first hit? please?

What if I wanted a small bullet to blast that cube away? What settings would I have to put?

how do i keep the fracture pieces from hitting my player and making him spaz

Thank you for the awesome tutorial. Unreal 5 is such a game changer. Best engine hands down.

why does doubling the size create damage? Can you show me how to make the block fracture with tiny projectiles? Like a bullet?

How do I do this with a line traces rather than a physical projectile?

Does it not allow Fracturing Geometry brushes?

Fantastic video. Thank you.

The one doing the destroying here I think is just the ball colliding with the box. I tried to get this to work in my project and spent few hours not understanding wtf is wrong. The impulse/force etc don't do anything with chaos stuff I think. For chaos destruction to work need to use master field, that's in the engine folder.

Great work. Do you know how to get the fps to load the gun when the project is started? Thanks.

Thanks for the great tutorial Jon, When I tried doing this, my cube immediately started fracturing, I started with the template first person environment. Any thoughts or tips?

Very nice! Short and simple - like it! 🙂 Additionally, it would be nice to see how to edit the "mass" of the projectile without making it so big ✌

is there anyway to do this with glass?

work for multiplayer ?

This is very helpful, thank you SO much. Such great content deserves more subscribers and views. Subscribed!

Hey man, been learning UE for about 2 months and just discovered your very helpful tutes! Is there a way to get these cubes etc to break upon line trace hit?? I kinda added an impulse on hit and it's moving the normal cubes but won't break the fractured one. I even set the impulse as high as 10,000 and the cube's mass as low as 0.01... I'd really love to get this working so any help would be hugely appreciated. :)

keep it going choas is soooo cool

If your mesh is barely breaking, look at your damage threshold numbers in the details pane (try 1000, 1500, 1800 to start)

Im having a problem. I am trying to use a gun with linetrace and using add impulse. But i cant get it to break/add impulse. Do it not work with line trace? cant find any videos of people using linetrace.

Great tutorials (much needed for me). I've upgrade UE5 to Preview 2 and it soooo slow with destruction. Do you know how to downgrade to preview 1 version?

so ...how i press a button and explode something intoo many pieces? can you make a tutorial for that (and mabe some exploding short sequence ,and some message like mission complette )

Will Chaos destruction work in mobile devices ? Atlest high end devices ?

DOES THIS WORK WITH VR???? idk if you mess around with vr but i have a quest 2 and as of 4.27, destructible meshes arent permitted i guess. I was hoping they found a way and fixed it

Thank you

For some reason, I only get 2 options when i click the fracture button ? Before it used to show all the options, any idea why ?

Is there any reason to still use ue4??? I can't seem to find out if its ok to still be in ue4, learning. I heard that their are significant performance increase automatically and well the terrible bugs in ue4 arent all on ue5 sooo it does sound better. Great video, thank you!!!

make great bro tutorials! Subscribed to your channel :)

What if I wanted a specific custom made mesh to break in specific way. Like if I had a object that is made up of some more organic then concrete? Is there like different 'states' I can have remodeled versions of the broken up object? I am sure there was already a way to do it but curiouse about efficiency.

When I hit 'New' for the geometry collection, the mesh disappears. This happens even with built in content. Other than that, this is a good tutorial.

Very nice thanks. How would I do to make the fractured mesh just float ? I have tried disabeling gravity but it ain't working...

Nice vid Jon :)

How can I break the mesh without a projectile? I'd like to have it so that the item breaks automatically as the player enters the vicinity of the object.

For me the ball only breaks the object after bouncing.

thanks jon, great video.

This was awesome, but I was hoping someone could help with a proximity destruction of an item. Like how to get a wall to collapse when you get close to it. Anybody know how to make that collision work? This was great all the same.

how would I make it have a health bar and break when the health is depleted?

I have a question Can we add destructive effects to already completed assets?

Thanks bro perfect video.

What could you use this for in games?

Loud and clear! Awesome tutorial. Thanks bro!

Thanks for the high quality tutorials! This rundown was super helpful

Im working in VR category and i think i can use it for cool distructions when u hit something with trigger

Thank you for your tutorial! I love it

THANK YOU THIS HELPED SOO MUCH

Awesome video. Thank you

That Guy Thanks, I will look into it later.

Some Time Work Some Time NOT why

This was amazing Thank you Jon, 7 mins were used perfectly. Liked and Subed

Worked , thanks a lot!

Amazing vid!!

joke in my opinion.

easy to follow guide. had no issues following along.

Excellent and to the point! Extremely helpful thank you!

Thank you

thanks!

Thank you!

It would be great if you could cover the way to set up collision response on the cube was set up.

Can I create a prefractured mesh in 3D modelling program like blender and use that? Lets say I want to have a Barrel that breaks into specific parts, and not into blocks of stones.

Dude, the title of this tutorial is Intro to Chaos etc ... NOT spending 2 minutes 16 seconds of the total 7 minutes figuring out how to buff your paintball projectile

you either have super vision or a 1000" monitor cos i cant understand that ui res fr

thanks for this 👌
