I’m trying to attach a Physics Constraint to a Geometry Collection / Cluster Union
Chaos Modular Vehicles Quickstart | Unreal Engine 5.7 Documentation | Epic Developer Community
Adding the component it seems to ignore it. I really don’t know other than the fact that the Physics Constraint does not activate. Is it because it doesnt go with the Chaos System?
Hi, I don’t know why but I had this same problem. I wasn’t able to use constrains in the Vehicle Cluster geometry collection components.
If you find the way, please share how you solved it. Best regards.
I could not find a way sadly. I don’t think Physics Components are meant to work with this system. Your best bet might be to use a Physics Animation (It’s the only thing that triggers the Activate Event) to create hinges or something similar, but that might require a skeletal mesh. It’s sad that there are zero posts about Chaos Modular Vehicles….
I tried to use it to fix the car mirrors, because they behave like are attached to the car just with tape. I got it outside the car cluster, just applying a modifier to the geometry collection that I don’t remember the name (rectangle as a base with a arrow defining the non destructible zone). On play the mirror brakes but the joint to car part remains unbreakable. But reproducing it in the car cluster, doesn’t work because when I select the constrain it’s not activating.
I’m really curious about how far you achieve using chaos modular vehicle. Do you have any post or link to se some of your work with it?
I posted months ago my experience using chaos modular vehicle, you can see it here

Very beautiful demo, unfortunately I didn’t get far enough lol. I only looked at CMV as a way to explore other options. I have a physics-based vehicle using constraints and was looking at CMV if it would make my prototype better (I already have a pretty advanced one, I just wanted to see if it would make it more grounded, I guess). It’s basically the 4x4 template with a physics constraint. All I can tell you is to probably email the person that made this plugin, or edit the CPP code as it is usually the only way to go beyond BP. Hopefully this year I’m able to finish the game and release, I can send you a free copy if you’d like!
Hey! CMV is an interesting option, if you are looking for destructible vehicle parts. The plugin author is Epic games, that’s why I posted here.
I though this community is a place where epic games developers and game developers can be in touch to learn and support each other. Big mistake, this is just a place to make the developers help each other, no epic developers here at all.
Congratulations for your near release!! Of course I want to try your game. I can give you feedback.
Best regards,
Than.
