Anyway to place bricks in midair?

[Altiris]

I was just wondering if its possible to bypass the rule where you all bricks need to be connected from the bottom. Could this be edited by a simple script or its in the game engine or something?

yes, but it's not a pretty thing

you'd have to do some hacky stuff to get it to work properly

Oh I see, it would probably mess things up right? Do you know why Badspot did this in the first place? Does it have to do with how physics work?

It's not that difficult. In fact, someone already asked this question. Here is some code that works, just you would need to make the bricks have the correct owner. Easy.

notice how i said 'work properly'

if you really really need to go ahead but once you start doing it you'll see what i mean quickly enough

If what you're talking about is being able to plant underground and inside other bricks, that can be mitigated. What other issues are you talking about?

any brick being destroyed by undo/means other than direct deletion will cause all connected bricks to die as well

you cannot hammer floating bricks

probably other things i've forgotten

it's pretty much impossible to actually use them practically

[dotdotheptagon]

You can package more than one function, you know... floating bricks can be made to work I've seen it done. I don't know why you're saying it's impossible.

[otto-san]

i'm not saying it's impossible

you'd have to do some hacky stuff to get it to work properly

i'm saying it'd take some doing to get working lol


you could probably do something to fix the issues discussed, but it probably wouldn't be anything like normal building

I'll find something.


ostinyo is going to release it 4 me i can't find my copy.

[Altiris]

I was just wondering if it was possible or if its like a hard limit like the brick limit. Anyone have any idea why Badspot decided to make bricks need to be connected to the ground? I was guessing because of physics but physics came out after.

Use float cubes or terrain bricks or the script released in Add-Ons.
