Author Topic: Hexagon bricks that fit correctly?  (Read 1347 times)

Is it possible to make a hexagon shaped brick that will fit in a pattern like the ones in this picture?



EDIT: ok like i build these hexagons



theyre 28 bricks each and i was wondering if i could make each one a single brick itself and they could still fit in the pattern

GSF Ghost was working on these for ModTer at some point.  It should be possible, I think.

You'd need to bypass the overlap error to plant them next to each other.

What about hexagon bricks in general?

Isn't that what OP is trying to suggest?

He's trying to suggest a type of hexagon bricks that defy the way Blockland brick physics work. How about somebody actually makes hexagon bricks first? Then somebody can bypass overlapping for them. I actually need plain normal hexagon bricks for something too.

I need them for something too. I'm hoping for at least 4x, 8x, and 12x. Or octagon bricks, those would work too.

Or you can just have the .blb have dashes instead of x/d/us to allow bricks to be placed in those parts.

dashes cant overlap dashes. Thats why you cant place a modter brick inside another modter brick. There would need to be two versions of the brick. 1 with all dashes, and one without. You would then need to sequence the build so that it was a dash everyother brick, and a no dash every other brick. That would be too complicate.  You will need to find another method

Wrong.

Also wrong.

You can't place a modter brick inside another modter brick because there are no dashes. Building-wise, they're all cuboids.

it looks like the request is to turn those shapes into bricks, and not an actual hexagon brick with diagonal sides

looks like op is making Civ 5

Civ 5 wasn't the first game, nor the only game, to use hex tiles.

either ones fine with me
