| Bricks sheltering from rain & snow |

as seen in this topic: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=205032.0... using zone events its possible to shelter yourself from rain, but eventing each bricks that may shelter a player gets very tiresome especially if you're making highly detailed trees using the new plant bricks, that's why I've made this topic to ask; is it possible to have a script which automatically events any brick that is placed so that rain & snow does not fall through them? Of course, this would come with it's own "event" so players aren't required to actually download zone events and at the same time hide this event from the event list so no one can accidentally delete it, making rain fall through the brick? I'm pretty much a noob to scripting and i don't know how it works, but what i think I'm asking for is a script that turns any brick into a zone brick, similar to the zone bricks found in the add-on. |

Like the idea. |

But rain/snow still go through the brick at certain angle's so that should be fixed too. /support |

Possible, sure, and reasonably easy too. The hard part comes from optimizing such a process. I'm not sure how efficient engine triggers are (my guess is not very efficient), but to come up with a way to remove the zones from redundant bricks. Examples of redundant bricks are bricks under an overhang, in a wall, underwater, brick that look like they should cover a certain amount of area but actually don't, irregularly shaped objects (pine trees), and things of a similar nature |
