Unreal Engine 5.1.1 | Cache Chaos Destruction Tutorial

Chaos Caching/baking works on engine versions 5.0 and 5.1.1. It does not work on 5.1.0.

I hope this short tutorial helped you out a little.

Talented. I wanna give you HUGE respect. Keep going bro :)

This is such a great tutorial! thanks! I was looking for how to cache the simulation ect...

[jrgen]

Thanks for the video! Do you know of a way to play the cache in a new location?

Really good tutorial! I got to ask if you know of a way for the Chaos Cache Manager to play the animation in reverse inside the Level Editor, so that it start's off destroyed but reforms itself when it is triggered to do so?

Is it possible to save a cached destruction as an actual Geometry Cache to use in a Blueprint?

Hi.At present, I want to use Chaos to break the cup after throwing it out. However, when I directly throw the geometry collection actor, its fragmentation speed is very fast, and it quickly flies out of the world from my screen. Can you provide me with some ideas? Thank you.

Amazing tutorial! But am having 3 issues need help with

#1 When in play mode whether being in Timed or Trigger the simulation of the destruction does not full play and simulate the entire thing it just pauses in mid air during destruction during timed and triggered on play. But when I press record it does.

#2 when I looked for projectile under collision I did not see that option on Object Responses.

#3 I am getting an error message after playing or simulating the scene in the message log that reads “ Trying to simulate on (name or level) geometry collection component0 but no physics body”

How can we use, say second 60 of a cached chaos simulation as the initial state only, and start a new simulation from that point? Right now I can only see how to use the entire cache starting at second 60 and simulating / interacting from 61 onwards has no effect. Destroying the cache manually via blueprint after setting the initial state, doesn't help new physics take effect either.

Very nice tuto, im just with a problem of missing shadow over chaos mesh

[brainsconceptnetworksstudi]

thats great. but question, how will u use level sequencer to control this?

[GhullieUser]

Thanks for the tut. I have "Remove on Sleep" enable on my geometry collection but it looks like that part isn't recoded. Do you have any idea if its possible?

[maciejurmanski]

Hi, thanks for tutorial, is realy good. But I have question about chaos and stuff. Do You have maybe idea how to create destruction effect like in The finals game? I mean shattered elements and derespawning small elements but save big etc. :)

[minnyzcat]

how do you play this physics simulation inside a sequencer?, I cant figure out

[weijunchen]

the chaos cache doesn't seem to trigger the notify for breaks, collisions or trailing, so how to I get any smoke or dust?

[kirilliakushev]

Thanks, so in order to create a static mesh, do you have to select the baked time and then select the chunks in the level, and convert them to a static mesh? everything right?

[Chinesestud]

Hi where is the cache being stored on my computer?

[nishantparmar]

That's exactly what I'm looking for 🫂🫂 thank you ma boi 🤜🤛

Is baking the chaos destruction, and using this chaoscache can save the game with the chaos destruction?
