lol, but the thing i said doesn't :P and if you manage to not crash with a x x -x, it makes you float up :D

I already have an established method for creating zero G.

I don't plan to try the water thing till after the first release.

Battlekon, please leave my thread alone unless you have something constructive to talk about.

i dont, but i would like to see some shots of your map. sounds interesting =D

So RW, do you like my stars, and are you going to take me up on my hosting offer?

Might it be possible to create a brick that exerts its own gravity (for space stations, so you can walk normal), or, if you manage to create the atmosphere thing, bricks that create a small area around them that allows your guy to, well, not die?

Also, I know that making the planets move would be impossible (and impractical), but is it possible to make a small object circle around the map (such as a meteor or comet)? 

Thirdly, as a secret, how about a micro black hole hidden in some corner of the map?  When you get near it, you will start to be pulled towards it, faster and faster as you get nearer until you hit it, killing the player instantly.  This would probably require that you'd be able to create spheres of gravity around an object, all pulling you towards its center (or something like that).

I have absolutely no experience with this sort of thing, but I'm willing to guess that none of this is possible.

Ok, just checked it out. Looks good and if your ok with it, I will use it. Just remind me later (if I forget) to give you credit.

Well, spherical based/ point based gravity sources aren't really possible in Torque.

I have included small platforms for making satelites however they do not have their own gravity sources (its zero G.)

Ah.  Well, I expected as much.  A black hole would have been cool (especially if you could lure someone into it).  It could still be possible with a small, black platform with extremely high gravity directly above it, but it would be quite the same.

How about the special bricks though?  They would probably have to exert it in a rectangular prism above it.  Perhaps it could be wrenched (or some other new tool), allowing you to define the exact area?

No, sorry. It just not feasible.

Just don't edit any of the files and it gives me all the credit I want, since it is the directory names laremere_stars, and I may be using that skybox for another map, so don't change it at all if you can, that way it is less downloads for the community...(even though I bet the download for your map is crazy as it is so far....)

Yeah, I don't have a figure yet but it may end up being several megabytes.

Just put a physical zone around it and make the gravity mod 1, and the velocity mod 1, the third thing doesn't really do anything much that i could find.

When you spawn water with F11 there's a flood fill option.

Water doesn't work for me, you always fall straight to the bottom, but then i got it working a bit better, now you stay on the top until you crouch, then you fall stright to the bottom >:(
