Any idea on how to create explosive barrels that kill nearby bots? I tried using Launcher projectile with damage radius as an object and adding it to VFX that would play as an explosion, but that doesn't do anything, seems like it only does damage when launched from the gun.

Any tips?

Check unity docs for Physics.OverlapSphere add it on your barrel script

terryn jonesYou will probably have to add a box collider to your game object and projectile then write a if statement checking if something collides with your game object destroy the things you want destroyed and then add sound and whatnot to give it a explosion effect

Please let me know if this helps ** idk if this is the best way to do this but it's what I'd guess from what I've learned in my month of learning unity
