Hello, I have a couple of questions about how chunks from destructible meshes work in UE4.
Is there any way to have a destructible mesh as the child of a movable pawn, but have the chunks simulate in world space when fractured?
Is there any way to add interactivity to the chunks? Detecting events, removing chunks on hit, overlap, etc.?
Can a destructible mesh only be supported by a static mesh actor?
Any insight is appreciated.

You can set it as the child, but it the chunks will be pulled sometimes by the root component of the DM if they get too far away.

I don’t know about this specifically, but you can set some of the flags in the DM settings to crumble smallest chunks to remove them from the scene.

It cannot be supported by anything but a static object.
