Breakable Solar Panels

[raidernick]

I am looking for help in making my solar panels breakable. I've done maybe ~30 different solar panels so far and they all have the same problem. When the "break" the entire panel just vanishes instead of falling into pieces. The forum seems devoid of information on this. I copied the stock hierarchy and names and it didn't make a difference.

I've looked at other mods panels that do break properly and copied their names and hierarchies and it also didn't make a difference. When the panels break the entire thing vanishes. On some o the panels the "base" is left while others the base disappears. I'm not sure if there is some special thing I need to do in unity to make them breakable. The "isbreakable" flag in the cfg doesn't seem to make any difference, I'm not sure if it is depreciated or not.

Here is an example of one of the panels with the "vanishing" problem when it breaks:

only difference I can see is it looks like you are using mover object with mesh as child. the stock panels are animating the mesh objects directly. I haven't made a solar panel part so can't say for sure.

That is because the panel was showing one way in the VAB and then flipping around 180 degrees once on the pad. In order to not have to redo all the animations I just rotated the parts using a blank transform. I do have panels that are literally pan1>pan2>pan3 etc... and they also don't work.
