Author Topic: Builds collapse with no supports  (Read 2221 times)

they need to be server-sided too so they can have collision

But then blockland wouldn't be able to be played on stuff computers.

too bad for them

I remember discussion about this.

Basically from what I remember is doing something like the Duplicator, doing a getUpBrick() loop and rather than duplicating it, fakekill it for x amount of time. To make it collapse only when there's no support, though, that's a different story.

For every support, do this (I forget the actual name of the VCE events)
{
   onProjectileHit > MiniGame > VCE_editVariable > ["supportstuff"] + 1
   onProjectileHit > MiniGame > VCE_ifVariable > ["supportstuff"] == (number of supports)
   onVariableTrue > Building > fakeKillBrick
}

no?
That will not work.
Structural supports are much more complicated than just counting the ammount of alive bricks...

Who cares? Tell them to buy a better computer. Other games with better physics also don't work on stuff computers.


I have an idea. You know how the hammer checks to see if the brick is supporting any other bricks? I think this should do the same except with fake-killing. However, it would be possible to abuse this in building servers. You could just make a giant tower and blow it up from the bottom.

That will let a skyscraper stand on a small beam.

Better than nothing

That's what I was thinking in the first place. Could someone make a script that does this?
