Using Extended Support Structures

1. Create a set of blast assets you want to assemble into a Structure. We’ll be using BM_Wall_Door for this example.

2. Assemble the assets in level. Make sure the assets are touching.

3. If you want to have the structure fixed in place add a Blast Glue Asset. If you’re using Blast Glue make sure you enable the Supported by World toggle in the Extended Support Structure Properties.

4. Next add in your Extended Support Structure. You can do this in a couple ways.
