Shockwave Effect ???

PeeCee

hi all.
Im looking into create an effect like a shockwave effect when a bomb or blast takes places then a simulated shockwave
is created which throws other actors/objects around.

any help or advise would be really appreciated.

Hi FBS. thanks for that, but thats not quite what im after. i want to be able to have
other actors get thrown around when lets say the primary actor blows up. I can work out triggers and logic etc, but how do i get other actors around the primary actor (who will be the bomb lets say) be thrown around a scene etc.

easiest I can think of:
create an actor bombRadius
either drag on an image effect … or uncheck visible

have bomb spawn the bombRadius when exploded

have other actors overlap/collide with bombRadius
to trigger their movements

sorta nice effect:
Rule: when
Event: overlaps/collides with bombRadius
-changeAttribute: self.Rotation To: 90
-changeAttribute: self.Motion.Linear Velocity.Y To: 200
-Rule: when
-Attribute: self.Position.X > 240
--changeAttribute: self.Motion.Linear Velocity.X To: 200
--Otherwise: changeAttribute: self.Motion.Linear Velocity.X To: -200

How about changeAttribute self.Motion.Linear Velocity.X/Y to something like 50*300/magnitude(explodingActor.position.X-self.position.X,explodingActor.position.Y-self.position.Y)? That way the velocity is variable depending on the actor's proximity to the exploding actor.
