How to Make Multiple Brushes Separate func_breakable Entities in NetRadiant Custom?

[noire-dev]

Hello,

I'm currently working in NetRadiant Custom and encountered an issue. I want to select multiple brushes and make each one a separate func_breakable entity. However, when I select all the brushes and convert them to func_breakable, they are grouped together and break as a single unit. Is there a way to automatically convert each selected brush into an individual func_breakable entity without having to do it manually for each brush?

Thank you for your assistance!

I can try to implement this function and submit a pull request and make it as a command in shortcuts

and I also want to add Quake Sandbox gamepack

Select only the ones which are to be each separate entity. If they are already part of 1 single entity you must ungroup them, see shortcuts list for entity ungroup (move back to worldspawn)

[noire-dev]

then it revert to worldspawn not func_breakable

There is no way to create multiple entities at once from existing brushes, i also think that it's not frequent usecase to handle.
After all in idtech games submodel entity limit is quite low.

Quake Sandbox gamepack would be welcome!

The thing is, Quake Sandbox allows all sorts of interesting things like this, and I think I've implemented that feature. Thanks!

maybe i make pull request for this, and yes, quake sandbox have big limits

I desided to make my own NRC fork for QS with all new features for MiTech engine

Hey Noire, my func_breakable is 3 separate entities all with the same name. It did not require any special map compiler or anything, just 2 patches for the rounded top and 1 brush for the lock square.

There are origin brushes in the middle of each piece. Within a few days I will be releasing a sample map with map source and QuakeC source.

So in that pic, the lock is 3 separate entities. When one piece of the lock breaks, it signals the other pieces to be broken too.

For completion, I did that experiment on this page:
