I’m not sure I understand you when you say you want it to explode off screen. Do you want the object to be offscreen and shatter onto the screen from a side? If so, Shatter works with AE cameras and it’s own camera system, you could just move one of the cameras(I prefer AE’s rather than the effect camera) and move the object and forces offscreen.
Or did I misunderstand what you are trying to accomplish?
