Hi Dom,

With the Explosion effect selected, go to Prepare object properties.
On the Track menu select trigger, on the Animation menu select animate.

Then you can Direct and when you want the explosion, click on the button labelled Initial.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Marco

Hi fullmetall,

5 easy steps to so set off the explosion effect:
1) From the toolbar, go to Create > Effects and select "Explosion" from the "Effects" tab. This should position a little pink box which represents the Explosion into the Muvizu environment.
2) Click the pink box and position it wherever in the Muvizu environment you want your explosion to occur.
3) With the pink box still selected, click Prepare > Object Properties in the toolbar. This will open up the "Prepare Object Properties" window.
4) In the "Prepare Object Properties" window: The Object drop-down menu should be set to "Explosion", the Track drop-down menu should be set to "Trigger" and the Animation drop-down menu should be set to "Animate". Now click the "Direct..." button, and that should open the "Direct Object Properties" window as well as a "Timeline Recorder" window.
5) Hit the record in the Timeline Recorder as you usually would when recording anything in Muvizu, and then just hit the "Current" button in the Direct Object Properties window every time you want to set off an epxlosion!

Hope this is nice and straightforward for you, but if not then please don't hesitate to ask for further clarification on anything! it can seem fiddly at first but it real easy and super effective once you see how to navigate it.
