Author Topic: Wire bricks.  (Read 45879 times)

What. You guys think those pictures are fake?
Actually, it seems the two who think they're fake are novice scripters. It's okay to not know how they work.

Also, to answer some questions:
1) Yes, they're emitters. Emitters are 2D particles, so there's no huge polycount.
2) They're emitters that stretch and curve themselves dynamically to simulate a wire's appearance.
3) No, they do not obey the physics engine. Unless they would by default, I didn't add support.
4) Maxxuss and I didn't lag when we had a bunch of giant wires up during testing.
So does it make a new datablock for every wire or is it just dynamic magic?

the ones that Truce made are Great!

Support of this great Idea.
Seems like it could be VERY Useful.

Emitters colorshift.

I honestly though this was impossible to do when I read it. Leave it to Truce, I guess.

It is possible.

Truce you better release that someday, or your going to have a huge riot chasing you.

Lolpun.

make it so you can walk on it
make it so there is a wire start & wire end
make it so that when a wire start or end is broken, in dosent conect to anorher random start or end

Release. Now...Or whenever you feel like it.

wait, do they actually keep two bricks together in a physics fakekill?

easy solution if  wire fakekilled wire would look like you held one end and threw the other, hang down, and when wire brick respawns wire goes back

edit: your right this is a bad idea

another edit: it woudnt work

yet another: i suck

I support this. And this does need to be default.
