Hi guys!

I made a part that explodes This is the script inside that part

wait(3)
local boom = script.Parent
local explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
explosion.Parent = game.Workspace
explosion.Position = boom.Position
boom:Destroy()

Okay so i build this thing: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/525729540434165760/538648424493481984/unknown.png

but when the explosion hits that building, nothing happens to it i want it to unachor all the part the explosion hits, but dont know how to.

I head people say something about welds but i dont know how that will help me. Thanks!

edit: fixed script

My previous solution did not work because Explosion.Hit does not detect anchored parts. Since you are trying to make anchored parts unanchored, we cannot use this. A solution then is to create a ball with the size of the explosion's BlastRadius, then get the parts touching the ball. For all parts touching the ball, set them to be unanchored.

wait(5)

local boom = script.Parent

local blastradius = 10

local explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
explosion.Position = boom.Position
explosion.BlastRadius = blastradius
explosion.Parent = workspace

local Part = Instance.new("Part")
Part.Size = Vector3.new(blastradius,blastradius,blastradius)
Part.CFrame= boom.CFrame
Part.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
Part.Anchored = true
Part.Transparency = 1
Part.CanCollide = false
Part.Parent = workspace

--Generate a touchinterest.
Part.Touched:Connect(function()
end)

local WithinExplosionRadius = Part:GetTouchingParts()
Part:Destroy()
for _,part in pairs(WithinExplosionRadius) do
    if part.Name ~= "Baseplate" then
        part.Anchored = false
    end
end


boom:Destroy()

the problem here is that you're setting the parent before connecting to the event. the explosion explodes immediately once the parent is set. 1waffle1 2908 — 5y

Hey Rheines, thanks for helping sadly, the script you gave didn't seem to work I tried modifying it but it didn't seem to work.

i put this exact script in the exploding part

wait(3)

local boom = script.Parent

local explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
explosion.Position = boom.Position
explosion.Parent = workspace

--Connect a function to the Hit event.
explosion.Hit:Connect(function(part)
    --Ignore baseplate.
    if part.Name ~= "Baseplate" then
        part.Anchored = false
    end
end)

boom:Destroy()

i fixed a error in which you accidentally put 2 "="s also i dont see the line of code that actually unanchors the part it touches.

Upon further reading I found out .Hit only detects unanchored parts.. I am finding a solution. Rheines 661 — 5y

I updated my solution, please let me know if it works. Rheines 661 — 5y

Just to expand on some other variables...

-'BlastPressure' sets the amount of force applied to base parts within the 'BlastRadius'. -'BlastRadius' is the size of the explosion's radius in studs (0-100) -'DestroyJointRadiusPercent' sets the proportion of 'BlastRadius' where all joints are destoryed(0-1) If set to 0, Humanoids are not supposed to die. -'ExplosionType' is 'Craters' or 'NoCraters', determines if terrain is also damaged

wait(3)

local boom = script.Parent

  local explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
  explosion.Position = boom.Position
  explosion.BlastPressure = 100000 
  explosion.BlastRadius = 5 
  explosion.DestroyJointRadiusPercent = 1
  explosion.ExplosionType = "NoCraters"
  explosion.Parent = game.Workspace

  explosion.Hit:Connect(function(Part, Distance)
      if Part.Name ~= "Baseplate" then
        Part.Anchored = false
    Part:BreakJoints()
    wait(.5)
      end
  end)

boom:Destroy()
