This is harder than it sounds @_@

[purple100]

I'm not sure if it can be done. Self reactions cause the element to lose all of its energy, but... I can change that

[Catelite]

In this code, I had to use a self reaction in order to make the temprange element conductive (since an element that changes via temprange on every frame is as good as 0 conductivity, I think), but then as you mentioned it kills the heat after a very short distance. >_<

...But at the very least, it makes a good thermometer.

Hey, that's pretty cool. I like how it wanders around while it grows.

[Catelite]

You could make an entire mod off of that, I bet. I wonder how that'd work using walls that destroy/encourage worm movement.


Worm lasers. :O



I changed the 5 Notneighbors to 2, just to see. 1 produced an explosive mass. ^^

[alexyellow]

The notneighbor keyword as improved alot the game, but even better would be the same aplied to the self keyword, and the oposite of the two (a reaction would only ocour if under the radius of the "activating" element) and put all that in the same line as the neighbor line.

like this:

neighbor 1 A B 1 C D not E 10 act G 5

elements A and B reacts only if more than 10 pixels away from element E and not farther away than 5 pixels from element G

this would produce alot of lag but we have to use our twin core pentium for anything.

[purple100]

I had originally placed a ridiculously high upper bound on notneighbor lines and 4.6.4 will restrict it to 16. It still takes forever if you use that value.

[Mad Hatter]

I have been tossing this idea around in my head and I think It'd work out, I'll try coding it tomorrow afternoon, BUT tell me if you see any obvious flaws.

I hate the way fire looks, just boring particles floating upwards. what if the fire element trailed a negative-density (gas), slowed-down version of the ??? element that gave the fire a more solid, uprising form. The reaction would be kept at bay by random pexplosions of empty after X amount of time, this would mean that the fire would continue to rise up and would be held back by the explosions, however if it got out of hand, it'd be very . . . odd. I'd have to fine-tweak the reactions to minuscule accuracy, so it may take some time.

Anyone see any obvious flaws?

[sandgamer95]

Not a flaw, but a problem you might run into is that if it gets past the pexplosions, it will be ??? lol
