Trying to achieve an exploded building effect.

[Skunk]

I seen it in a game a couple years ago, the party walked up the path, triggered an event and it showed an animation (im sure it was evented) of the building blowing up and pieces landed in different places...
HOW!?
Ive tried several things including reaching out to the developer lol
nothing RMMV

I've never done this, but in my head this could probably be achieved if you have parallax maps and make the animations in Adobe After Effects or any other software. Create two parallax maps, one is for before the event (in this case, before explosion) and the other is for after the event. Save those animations in either video format or pictures (frames). When the event occur, trigger the video or pictures to play until the end, then change the parallax map to the one for after the event.
