Author Topic: snow  (Read 1890 times)

fitting the time of year, could someone please make a "snow making brick"
that emits snow BUT the snow would be an object that builds up (stays on the ground and other flakes) and if possible once on the ground you cant go through it (you can walk on it) I personally think its a good idea.

pm me if you are going to try
That self-kills a thread. No point in it.

And this is not easily possible, sure, there can be are emitters for snow, but you can't get a "pile-up" effect done easily.
Just use white plates and pile them up yourself, lazy. :cookieMonster:

I removed it

and its not that im lazy its just I wanted a better way that looks better than a bunch of bricks.

A bunch of bricks can look good if done right.
I'm also imagining this to be sort of like that thing Garry has with the water particle, where you place it than you can run through it, thing is, it lags like hell.
I suggest simply making your own terrain with snow.

would it still lag if you had it delete a snowflake after X amount of time and if it was like snow in the slopes?
just wondering

The snow in the slopes is a simple particle which you can walk through and it does not interact with you in anyway.
Even if the snow on the ground did pile up and than went away after X amount of time, for that amount of time that it is there will still cause lag.
Heck, I start lagging with around 5 water particles in Gmod(Source), and you're asking for like 50 in Blockland(Torque)
Not going to happen. :P

ya guess not
but if you edited the snow in the slopes to pile... cuz at any time theres like 100s of snow particles there
it may possible.
sorry if it seems like im beating this topic to death but I would really like to see it done

Particles don't collide with objects.

ya I think im going to lay this topic to rest it would be to laggy
