DENT - Networked Destruction - APEX

Download Unreal Engine Asset: DENT - Networked Destruction - APEX - is a fully networkable template that extends the functionality of the destructible mesh.

The Destructible Environment Networked Toolkit [DENT] is a fully networkable template that extends the functionality of the existing destructible mesh mechanics by allowing for point and radial fracture control over the mesh. DENT will add realism to the audio and visual effects of impacts on destructible structures.


List of Features

• Full network support for destructible meshes

• Extended fracture control on destructible meshes

• Example Networked ranged damage system template included

Important additional notes

There is currently a bug in version UE4.15 with destructible meshes in a blueprint when using the “form extended structure” flag in standalone mode. This causes the mesh to change position in the world. Play In Editor (PIE) mode and compiled versions are not affected.


Please note that due to the way UE4 processes chunks and debris independently on each endpoint, the standard debris locations after fracture are not replicated but all fracture points are replicated.


Requires "Apex Destruction" Plugin to be activated to use destructible meshes
