"Rolling" / Moving Bricks

[TheReventon]

I was watching some show on TV and these guys wanted to make several platforms that could form a deck/porch structure then roll (on wheels) over a pool to form a dance-floor or several bridges. When they went to buy the steel for the structure, the worker helping them said, "So you guys are trying to make a mini version of a retractable stadium roof except for walking on?"

That's basically what I am suggesting...a retractable roof or moveable bricks. I've made effects that hint to this (disappearing bricks and appearing bricks)...but it looks too fake. I don't really know how this would work, but if someone would give me an idea as to how to script it or how to attack it that would be great.

Thanks

moving bricks, eh? reminds me of my mod suggestion for roblox-like bricks, In terms of physics and moving on their own without having to 'kill' the bricks.

this would be GREAT for expandable RVs!

Bricks can only rotate on the Z axis.

Would be great, but I doubt its possible with the torque version blockland uses.

Xalos' elevator mod.

I tried it but there's a couple problems:
1. Only one color (boring grey)
2. Is not flat (minimum of like 2 bricks in between platforms)

However, I do like that it has adjustable speeds, sizes and shapes (sorta). If I could make a clear version or vertical version (1x8x10) I'd be really happy.

This video shows the Xalos' elevator mod used as a moving platform.
