i need them
all of them that you can think of

orthodox, unorthodox, creative, uncreative: as long as it helps you speed up the building process in one way or another, really.



really it doesn't even actually have to work with the engine: i'll find some way to adapt it for blockland. no editor wand style stuff, though

BrickCAM.

Do it.

Basically, a camera that follows the ghost brick while you move it around so you can see where you're building without actually being there. Have the camera toggle-able, and client sided.

This was the first idea I ever thought of for blockland. Proof:

Today while I was making the roads at my clan base, I noticed something that would really help while building.

 When I was making the roads, I was getting tired of laying them out, then jetting all the way over to the end of the bricks I placed, and laying more.

 Why not make a BrickCAM?

Something like....

  • When you click the mouse while you have bricks, the camera switches to hover over the brick.
  • When the ghost brick is moved, the camera follows it, and rotates along with it.

 And, at this point, you wont have to follow your bricks anymore.

Hope someone can do it!

Maybe something to show you what way* you rotated the brick like arrows pointing it out?

brick option copy-paster: copy item, light, emitter, and events from a brick and shoot other bricks to quickly copy everything over without the whole melee range wrench-and-accept-two-windows-of-stuff hassle.

Ownership modifier: lets you give your bricks to someone else.

doable!

Copy Gun.

Lets you take your copied events and shoot it at a brick that's out of reach.
