Destruction Physics in Unity 5

Testing destruction physics in Unity 5 for a turret-based sci-fi shooter. The demo cycles through three weapon types against an assortment of targets — spheres, cubes, and watermelons — set against a space-themed environment.

Three weapons are demonstrated in the video:

• Seeker — semi-automatic explosive projectiles that fragment targets on impact
• Pulse Laser — a continuous blue energy beam that precisely slices through objects
• Vulcan — rapid-fire machine gun that shreds debris at high volume

Mesh destruction is handled by the Exploder plugin. The turret model is from Sci-Fi Effects. Projectiles reposition the Exploder object to the impact point, destroying everything within a small radius.

Next steps: implementing proper enemies and a spawning system, plus a UI.
