Simple collisions with nCloth

[supergrover]

Hi,
I'm trying to simulate some simple collisions. I want to break up a spaceship. I thought rigid body's would help but as you can't parent them to anything I opted for ncloth. I can get the collision to work nicely but it's like the glue needs to be switched off on collision - has anyone out there tried anything like this? Are there any examples on the web? Is the spring dynamic constraint the way to go ( in terms of parenting the active nCloth to the spaceship )?? Any help much appreciated!

You can parent them! However you dont really want to, neither do you want to parent the ncloth. Why? Well sinply because the simulation happens in the simulation objects transform. And off course would you do that you wouldnt get any sane simulation. Theres not much point in having simulation happen in a tree other than world. Unless your trying to do speed simulation close to lightspeed...

Whan yu want to do is position the parts to same as IF they rere parented and then inject some starting velocity to them at start of simulation derived from the parent object.
