Water-Cancelling Bricks

[Battlefield 1943]

Okay, well this is the (most probably impossible) idea. Bricks that cancel water and can make builds like submarines possible. Eh... Idk, I'd just like these, you may troll now.

Awesome idea, but like you said I doubt it's possible.

what do you mean "cancel water"

I think he's suggesting a brick that, when placed underwater, creates a zone inside the brick's boundaries where water does not affect the player.

Don't water bricks just make a physical zone?
If so, can't you just set the isWater variable or w/e in the zone to false?

Hold on, testing that.

edit:

Tested in eval, it worked perfectly.

You may want to store the original water color on the brick or something.

Setting isWater to true again and setting the water color back makes it water again.

I have no idea why, but water color is required to exist or not exist to make it water and not water respectively.

edit:

I just realised I can't delete the brick I tried that on with the hammer, so I'm not sure what that's all about.

Forget all that.

%brick.PhysicalZone.deactivate(); and %brick.PhysicalZone.activate(); works perfectly.

So you have a cube brick that makes a trigger, and when you enter/leave the trigger it uses

%brick.PhysicalZone.deactivate(); and %brick.PhysicalZone.activate();

what.

This actually makes sense as a thing that can happen I think.
Hmmm I will look into this. Will probably get bored though.

I like the idea. But.

If the submarine is built cleaverly enough, the water bricks could be placed around the vehicle.

Or since that may be a silly way to do it make a thing like deletion cubes and just find any brick with a physical zone that has isWater set to true and deactivate it instead of actually placing it.

what.

I thought people would think this was a stupid idea. But I guess not

But if they think it's bad it's not trolling.
