Exploding Objects API.

(How to blow up just about anything)

Up front Caveats:

You can blow up any object that is 32 prims or less and is MOD and COPY.

What's in the Box

You will have a folder named something like OD>> Explode API. Inside are the following things:

Explode Object. Goes In Object Root (script)	This is the main "explode script" put it in the root prim of the object you want to explode. IMPORTANT: The object has to be 32 prims or less.
Smoke (texture) Explode - Smoke (script)	Part of the explode sequence are prims that spew smoke. If you want the smoke effect put both of these items into one (or more) of the child prims in your object. Do not put these into the root prim of the object. Do not put smoke into the same prim that is doing flames or sparks.
Flames (texture) Explode - Flames (script)	Part of the explode sequence are prims that spew fire. If you want the fire effect put both of these items into one (or more) of the child prims in your object. Do not put these into the root prim of the object. Do not put flames into the same prim that is doing smoke or sparks.
Explode - Sparks (script)	Part of the explode sequence are prims that spew sparks. If you want the sparks effect put this script into one (or more) of the child prims in your object. Do not put this script into the root prim of the object. Do not put sparks into the same prim that is doing smoke or flames.
Explode Trigger	This is a 1 prim object that triggers the explosion. It can be rezzed or worn. More about that later.
OD>> Rezzbox 1.1	This is a rezzer system that has the explode functionality built-in. This is a fully functional rezzing system where you can store your entire stage setup, house, etc, etc. Similar to Rez-Faux or so many other rezzing systems. For detailed instruction on how to setup scenes with the OD>> Rezzbox Read Here

Create an Exploding Object (or explode enable an existing object).

Create your object, or, use an existing object. The object has to be 32 total prims or less. The object must be MOD and COPY for you.
Put the script Explode Object. Goes In Object Root into the root prim of the object.
If you want sparks, choose a child prim and drop in the Explode - Sparks script.
If you want flames, choose a different child prim and drop in the Flames texture and the
Explode - Flames script
If you want smoke, choose a different child prim and drop in the Smoke texture and the
Explode - Smoke script
TAKE THE ITEM INTO YOUR INVENTORY. You don't want to explode (and therefore destroy) your only working copy of the object.

Now that your item is created you can make as many copies as you like, drag copies, etc.

Triggering The Explosion

There are a couple of different ways to trigger the explosion depending on how your scene has been rezzed into existence.

If you are rezzing your setup from an OD>> Rezzbox rezzer (v1.1 or later) the box has built-in capability to trigger the explosion.
If you are rezzing from some other rezzer system, or are just dropping your items from inventory, then you can use the Explode Trigger object to trigger the explosion.
In either case you need to first setup the "trigger word".

Setup A Trigger Word.

Drop your OD>> Rezzbox (or your Explode Trigger object) on the ground. Touch it. It will popup a menu. Select ExplodePword.
It will also prompt you to type a "trigger word" in chat. This word is what you will use to trigger the explosion. Keep your trigger word a secret and only give it to people you want to be able to trigger the explode.
If you are using OD Designs exploding speakers make sure your trigger word is the same as the trigger word programmed into your OD Exploding speakers. See Here
Type your trigger word in chat. The speaker will tell you that it learned the trigger word.
To trigger the explosion type your trigger word on channel 99 in open chat. for example:

		/99 triggerword

The OD>> Rezzbox (or the Explode Trigger object) will trigger the explosion in the various exploding objects you have created.
