How do I make a "pressure wave" with force?

Hi,

How do i make something like a pressure wave from an explosion that goes in all directions? I have an reactor block and when it gets destroyed it should explode an push every other block away.

I tried it with force but that doesn't really work in all directions.

Thanks!

Force is normally used when you want it continually for a period of time.

What you are looking for is impulse, which is like a sudden jerk/impact.

And here's an easy way to do this, in your case:

[Reactor] On Destroyed, then Action:

[Blocks] Set Impulse at Angle:

Value: 5 (something from 5 to 10 would be a great impact force)

Angle: angle(reactor.X, reactor.Y, block.X, block.Y) this will make the blocks go in opposite direction from the explosion

Let me know if it worked.

Thanks!

It works great! Is there a way to set a radius so only blocks in that radius are pushed away?

Thanks again!

Glad it helped !

To pick nearer bricks, add another condition "Pick by Comparison" found under System conditions.

Then input values as below:

Object: Brick

Expression: distance(reactor.X, reactor.Y, brick.X, brick.Y)

Radius: 200 or whichever radius (in pixels) the bricks to be affected

Thank you really much for your help!
