This blueprint powered system is a great way to add some great, fun interaction for players in your environment with explodable items. You could use it to set up explosive gas canisters, cows that explode, or even something crazy like the traditional red explosive barrels! But that’s not it, you can also use it to create explosive projectiles, such as grenades, rockets, fireballs and other spells. Mines? Also possible. If it explodes, it can probably be done with this pack! Honestly, even Michael Bay would love this one!

Features

  • Explosions! Things that explode! Kaboomage! Kablooies!
  • Actors that explode on ANY damage, or only after a certain amount
  • Actors that catch fire and slowly lower their own health leading to KABOOM!
  • Explosive projectiles!
  • Interactive explosive physics objects!
  • Fuses! Delayed explosions! Sticky bomb explosions! Proximity explosions!
  • Explosions that damage players based on their distance to the explosion
  • A three stage particle system configuration - damaged, ready to explode, explode!
  • Poison clouds! Smoke! Other explosion after-effects that can optionally damage players!
  • MUCH MUCH MORE!!! BOOOOOM!

BOOM! Explosion Toolkit is the fastest way to add some high octane, varied and action-packed explosions to your game. Whether you are looking for RPG spell styled explosions, first person rockets and grenades, or simply some environmental explosions, BOOM! has you covered.

I look forward to this :smiley:

As always, excellent work! I know, as an MSGT customer, that you frequently update and improve your packs. Do you have any plans to add more content to this pack in the future?

4

Anything from this guy is excellent and it looks like another nice package i am sitting here with my finger over the buy button

5

Thanks for the enthusiasm! :slight_smile:

Thanks man! I do, indeed, intend to continue the pack with updates/new features over time, as I tend to do with all my packs. Nothing specific planned at this point, but adding in more examples of how to use the system to make other projectiles or world objects is an easy one for sure. Other things will likely come out of people who purchase it and want to do x/y/z :slight_smile:

Haha thanks man! Hopefully it won’t be too long until it’s out :slight_smile:

6

That sounds great! I will definitely have a use for this in my project. Can’t wait!

7

I just wanted to check in and see how this pack is coming along. Is there any news?

8

KaBooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomage!!!

Good good :slight_smile: In my usual style, I went a bit nuts with options and now there are over 65 parameters for explosion actors, and then another 20 or so for after effects actors haha. Pretty sure I have every type of explosive device covered, from barrels, to magic attacks, to land mines and rockets and everything in between :slight_smile: I will be looking to use this kit myself in my own projects, and I honestly think its the sort of think that could be used in pretty much any project. I will be submitting to Epic over the weekend for release, and putting it up on Gumroad (at request of some of the community) shortly after that! So hopefully, not long now :slight_smile:

Your enthusiasm is encouraging XD

10

Well heck yes!!! I’m enthusiastic! who doesn’t like !!!

11

That sounds awesome! I’m looking forward to blowing things up!

12

Just dropping in to say that the BOOM! Explosions Toolkit has now been released via Gumroad ahead of it’s UE4 Marketplace release due to popular request. The kit has also been submitted to Epic so hopefully will have some words on that soon.

I’ve also made available a playable download of the demo level so you can get a feel for it all, though keep in mind that this is far from everything it can do! Check the OP for links to the Gumroad page and the downloadable demo (Mac version should be coming soon).

13

Just added a link to a playable demo for Mac into the OP for those interested :slight_smile:

14

Just to update - Epic have accepted BOOM! Explosions Toolkit for the marketplace and I should have a release date to share soon :slight_smile: Got some nice ideas for the first update too :wink:

15

Explosions!!!
Very cool, I love games explosions, especially when affect many characters with ragdoll and dismemberment effects activated, physics interaction and chain of multiple explosions with camera shake and time dilatation.

16

Hey guys… Just letting you know that Epic have advised me that this pack will be live on the marketplace tomorrow March 29th! I’ve also released a launch trailer for it whcih you can check out below :slight_smile: OP has been updated with this information. Look forward to seeing what you guys make of it!

My apologies! Somehow I missed the notification of you commenting here =/ But glad to see you are also excited XD I also, obviously, love explosions haha!

17

The BOOM! Explosions Toolkit has now been released on the UE4 marketplace! Check it out over here](BOOM! Explosions Toolkit in Blueprints - UE Marketplace)!

18

So, as is something I like to do - with BOOM! Explosions Toolkit now out, I’m looking for any suggestions of things to add in the first update!

Currently plans for expansion (may be in the first update or a subsequent one):

  • Remote detonation
  • Trip Mines
  • Claymores (directional orientated damage/force)
  • Decal integration
  • Laser Guided Missiles
  • Pressure Mines

These can all already be made using the system and a little tweaking, but I want to ensure they are 100% covered natively. I will also be adding examples of rockets, homing projectiles, magic spells and more which can all be made in seconds with the current setup! Let me know if you have any other ideas!

Hey guys. So I’m considering releasing a bundle with several of my products together and would love to get some feedback from anyone who has my products, or has considered them. If you have a couple of minutes, I’d really appreciate heading over to the survey linked below and filling it out :slight_smile: There is a question asking if you would like to share your email address with me for future release information, however it is 100% optional. No personal information is provided to me from your results, unless you yourself write it in there, but I did set it to require a login to a google account to discourage people trying to submit answers multiple times :slight_smile: Anyways, for those that do take the time to fill this out it is very much appreciated!

Hey guys. Just letting you know that I’ve tested BOOM! Explosions Toolkit under the newly released 4.16 version of the engine and it all appears to be working fine. I’ve marked it as compatible in the seller tools so you can now download it as a 4.16 ready project via the launcher. Please let me know if you run into any issues running the kit under 4.16 :slight_smile: Cheers!
