Finding supported bricks
Treynolds416:
Is there a default function for finding which and how many bricks are currently supported by another brick?
I could do this by using getUpBrick() and getDownBrick(), but I don't want to jump straight into a complicated process like this if there already is a pre-made function that does what I'm looking for.

Looking through the duplicator code, I found this: .getNumUpBricks(); and .getNumDownBricks();.

I'm aware of these. They count the bricks directly above and below the selected brick. They don't say anything about support
I said that I could do it this way, but it wouldn't be as simple as a premade function.

Ah, woops my bad. But doesn't the duplicator duplicate every brick being supported by the original brick?

Sort of. It appears that it only does that when duping the base. If you hit a brick that is supported from above it doesn't work.
