i guess to make it simple for us all to understand, im trying to make a set of bowling pins (arranged) break up into individual pins and roll around. the break up part, that part is easy. but the hard part is making them fly all over the place when hit with say a grenade. or just act like bowling pins would when hit with an object. right now they just keep standing up. i want them to in a sence get knocked over.

im curious because im trying to make them as realistic as possible. it would be nice to make it so that the set breaks up and then rolls around randomly as apposed to an animation.

anyone with understanding of halo ce physics would be useful. thanks.

I don't have a huge understanding of physics, but maybe try making the pins vehicles. Vehicles can roll...

how could i make a pin a vehicle? lol

Make your model and collision as normal. place sphere markers, export into physics folder (can be the same JMS file as the collision, since they're the same folder. either do that, or swap between them) If your using bluestreak, I dont believe it keeps the scale, so you'll have to redo the scale in guerilla manually. If you use blitzkreig however, it will keep the physics node scales correctly. Copy-paste another physics into the folder before compiling, so that it overwrites/updates; it tends to have issues if you dont. For animation, you only need a single animation of your choice, just go for an idle animation. grab the main frame, set keyframe button, have 2 or so frames. stand fixed idle.jma

Assembly vehicle tag with those 4 tags (model, collision, animation, physics)

first:i currently have one gbxmodel that seperates into 10 seperate models (singlepin.garbage tags at the current moment) (one for each pin.) second: where should i place sphere markers? third: what do i need to know to do the scale correctly using bluestreak/guerilla. finally: animation wise....how do i do the one animation for all 10 pins or what should i do? lol this will be my very first "vehicle(s)" of sorts.
