For using Modo you'll probably find a lot of useful general info on the Modo site

Collisions

Collisions are very simple and very low poly meshes that tell the game engine where the collideable edges of the model are
Collisions can be divided into two categories; static and dynamic
When making collisions, be wary of sharp edges or holes, in which the characters can get stuc
If you are unsure how to create and edit new types in the editor, ask designers about it

Static Collisions

Collisions for objects which can't be manipulated by the characters in the game
For example just a static piece of environment in the game that doesn't move in any way
Can be made in one layer with multiple objects colliding with each other
The collision layer must be parented with the original object
Naming: xx_static_collision

Example of the hierarchy:

Collisions for objects which move and/or can be manipulated by the characters in the game, for example dropped or kicked.
The collision objects can't be concave, so in most cases the dynamic collision must be made with many objects
These must be separated to different layers and can't collide with each other
All the dynamic collision layers must be parented with the original object
Naming: xx_dynamic_collision(_01)

Example of the hierarchy:

box
- box_dynamic_collision_01
- box_dynamic_collision_02
- box_dynamic_collision_03

Once the collisions for each object are done in Modo and the models are exported to the Editor, you need to add Model Components to the type to make the collisions work
Most of the time you can just copy and paste the needed components from some existing model that is similar to your new model
It's good to copy the Model Components from objects that have similar material or size, but the shape doesn't matter because your object will use the collision model you made for it in Modo

Select the model in Type Tree and see its Properties
There should already be these Model Components
- ModelComponent
- TransformComponent
You need to either copy or search and add these components
- HittableComponent
- ContactEffectCreatorComponent
- PhysicsComponent
  - StaticMesh (for static collision)
  - ConvexCompound (for dynamic collision)
Copy by selecting the object you want to copy from in Type Tree and right click "Copy Components", don't copy ModelComponent and TransformComponent, DO NOT COPY FROM DYNAMIC TO STATIC OBJECT OR FROM STATIC TO DYNAMIC!
If there aren't similar objects with collision in the game Add by selecting the object you want to add to in Type Tree and right click "Add Component Type", then search the needed components

To make the editor recognize what objects are breakable and what meshes are the broken parts of the model they need to be named correctly and have a correct hierarchy in the Modo file.
The naming and hierarchy of the breakable objects in Modo. Please use the naming method your project uses (old/new)

Here is how to break the model into pieces, notice that this example uses the OLD naming system, see above the right naming convention for the NEW naming

Creating new instances of components: When adding a component 'Add and inherit'; Otherwise: right-click -> Inherit new -> Select all sub-components that you want to create new copies of. Unselected components will remain shared

Add the following components to the *_breakable asset.
