Author Topic: Host Only Floating Bricks  (Read 1743 times)

I had always found it annoying placing giant cubes at a large height and then having to disable collision and rendering on each one just to make it up high in the sky,also when you make traffic lights with the one random brick pack they just don't look right.

I think it would be nice to give Host Only!
The ability to place floating bricks.
Once again only Host not admin or Super admin,Host.

Giving Admin or super admin would make it horrible if you have bad admins.

Floating bricks don't exactly work in Blockland as you would expect them to.

If you want to use hacks to make the brick float, or in other words do what you are trying to, then you will not be able to hammer any bricks attached to it because the game thinks that brick is supporting all the bricks it is attached to(because there's no ground), and for that wanding bricks will destroy all the bricks attached to the floating chunk you're trying to destroy.

On the other hand, you can also use the Zone Bricks mod. Zone bricks have cubes, and when you place them they are automatically transparent and uncolliding, and you can plant bricks anywhere inside the zone cube and that brick will be supported by that cube. The problem with that is if you're trying to destroy a large area of bricks inside a cube, you either have to destroy the whole cube and each and every brick inside it with it, or each brick one-by-one.

Yea I was just wondering if the code was still left in the engine from v0002.
I knew this wouldn't work well.

Possible, however, will cause several problems.

It's pretty simple to make, but it does not work very well at all.

Let me put it this way, if you ever see floating bricks, you'll understand why there's a float plant error.  :cookieMonster:

Fooly Cooly made something like this.

And it was very hacky,also about the float error I know about it,but is the coding that was used back in v0002 to have floating bricks still in the engine?

. . .

technically yes because in v0002 bricks were staticshapes and as far as i know nothing has been modified in that code

there was no code to allow them to float, there was code to prevent them from floating. but not in the engine.

Nevermind the float error and v0002. Stop mentioning them.

Neither of those are the problem or will help.

I was thinking of a command that could be possible with the new system, build it and then have a /void command by the host or something removing the ground.

dos any one have trench dirt?

Any one have the zone bricks? I can try to make it host only.

That will problem work better I was thinking on makeing a plat form of trench dirt dig the top one and delegate rest
