Grouped objects and ungrouping with logic

POWDER-001 December 30, 2018 06:57

I noticed that when you group objects they then have a input in the bottom for the group...this does not do what I thought which was turn the group on and off it makes visiblity on and off same way visibility does.

Is this correct and if so then is there a way to turn groups on and off using logic so you can trigger them say falling apart?

  Turning objects "off" always makes them invisible, so that makes sense.
  
  I'm guessing that instead of grouping them, which is not changeable in-game, you'd have to connect them using connectors. Then you should be able to power-off the connector to make them no longer connected. Try it out with just two items, to see if the theory works, though. And turn on "x-ray" to make sure you can see the ends of the connectors, if the objects are butting up against each other.

  Invisible - things inside still function, still collides if collide is turned on.
  
  Off - ceases to be visible, stops colliding, and stops any internal logic - its essentially temporarily deleted, which can be useful for sure!
  
  an Ungroup button that can be triggered would be really neat though!
