Author Topic: Meteors!  (Read 1247 times)

When I was looking at BobandRob's snow mod I thought, besides having snow and the suggestion of rain, why not METEORS!!! You could choose when it happens, how big/small they are, if they're on fire, and if they kill or not. If you support this neat idea, then say so, if not, then don't post. You may add ideas too.  :cookieMonster:

It could make craters in the ground AND catch bricks on fire and or make them explode!

LOL nice size 1pt, :P but yea I think its a good idea, maybe something else that would improve it is add some kind of fire mod, so it hits the ground fakekills the bricks within the diameter of the explosion and than the brick around it get the fire emmitter and the emmitter keeps spreading around thhe bricks if they are size or below size 16x16 baseplates (ie.. road bricks cant burnn etc.)
Nice idea btw!

With all those suggestions, it would be impossible and possible.

Yea! Then the entire server can crash from the meteors! What joy!

This idea is possible, BUT, will cause massive amounts of lag from explosions.

Ha ha. No negative feedback is allowed?

Then I'll post negatively in a positive way.


Your idea is sooo good that it will be the laggy add-on and it should be made for no one.

Lol, I forgot I made this post and happened to find it in my recent post thingy. The lag can be prevented by making very tiny exposions/no explosions. Just asking, has someone made a rain thingy yet?

Good idea, but keep in mind the lag and the realistic view of it.

Or instead (for as little lag), it could be some weapon thingy that fires big flaming rocks at random blockdudes. But this would become realy boring, lol.

Im sure it would be better if it were a build-to-survive meteors, where meteors would randomly fire near blockheads, and kill bricks. If you died, you died, and have too watch everyone else untill there is 1 person left or time runs out. Sort of like Gayblox's version, but way less lag-tastic.

In a nutshell: Yes please.

If you support this neat idea, then say so, if not, then don't post.

I hate when people say that...

The point of making a suggestion is try to attract the attention of an addon-maker. Said addon maker, upon viewing the topic, then decides whether or not it's feasible or a decent idea. The amount of responder support for the idea influences the addon-maker's decision. (If everyone seems to hate it, that may discourage the addon maker).

By barring negative comments (which you can't...) you would be making that entire part of the process useless. If all you want is people to agree with you (thus making no real discussion) why aren't all suggestions just locked? If you wanted to brainstorm possible ideas for this, maybe in general discussion?



Just due to that statement, I am obligated to come up with as much negative support as I can to try to balance out this topic.

If you actually red the entire snow mod topic, you would know that the snow goes through bricks. Meteors going through things wouldn't do much... The snow mod works off of particles (Snow particle in this case). Particles cannot actually influence other objects such as bricks and players and thus a simple modification to the snow mod to allow meteors would not work. You would need something that spawns actual projectiles in the sky, going down. If you're making a server in which you want this to happen occasionally and the game is in a static area (City RP, for example) then you can just rig up some invisible bricks over the  build that spawn some projectile aiming straight down. (Rocket or airstrike would work, but making a new projectile shaped like a meteor wouldn't be hard).

Also, if these things are very large there is the possibility of tremendous lag. If this is made into a mod that actually makes projectiles in the air (Have never seen this done...) then these projectiles would be falling over the entire map. Imagine how many explosions that would be. Then to want to add on fire effects and craters on top of that for each meteor is really infeasible.
