# Vehicle Setup

### Vehicle Health

To begin, add a **Health** component to the root transform of the vehicle.

### Damageable Components

For each damageable component on the vehicle, add a **Damageable** component somewhere in the vehicle's hierarchy and customize its health properties in the inspector.

### Colliders

For each game object that contains one or more colliders that represents a damageable component, add a **Damage Receiver** component and set the Damageable it refers to in the inspector.

### Detonators

When the vehicle or an individual damageable component on it is destroyed, you may want to spawn effects such as explosions. The **Detonator** class helps you do that.

To set up a Detonator:

1. If the detonator is for the whole vehicle, go to the **Vehicle** component and add the **Detonator**'s *Detonate* function to its *On Destroyed* event.
2. If the detonator is for the an individual damageable component, go to the **Damageable** component and add the **Detonator**'s *Detonate* function to its *On Destroyed* event.
3. Go to the inspector of the **Detonator** component, open the *Detonated State Spawn Objects* list, and add your explosion prefab there.
