Footprints

[GMO Ferret]

Basically a trail of little squares (footprints) that spawn wherever you go. (If you're on the ground, of course) Is this possible?

An idea I have is that is spawns bots wherever you go that have 50% transparency, and just look like 2D squares. This would allow you to 'kill' your footprints (hide). The bots would spawn with 100 Health and would deteriorate at 1 health per second. This would be even better if it only spawned when you walk on certain bricks.

If I remember correctly, I believe you would have to change the Blockland Torque engine. This might be a misconception.

But then your footprints would keep saying Ouch!

Nope, footprint mod is completely possible.

P.s. bot idea sux

Fully doable with static shapes, shouldn't be any real performance hit if they have short lifetimes. I'll look into it.

This.  Just a little object that is shaped like the bottom of the shoe or the peg leg print that is 50% transparency, and fades according to prefs, either after 5 seconds, 10 seconds, or 15 seconds.

Age of Time has footprints, maybe look into that?

function staticShape::disappear(%obj, %speed, %delete)

	%alpha = getWord(%color, 3);

	if(%alpha <= 0)

		return;

	if(%alpha - 0.05 < 0)

	else
	{
		%alpha -= 0.05;
	}

	%obj.setNodeColor("ALL", getWords(%color, 0, 2) SPC %alpha);

	%obj.schedule(%speed, disappear, %speed, %delete);

didn't port make these

Yes, quite a while ago. Dunno where they are.
They even interacted with the blood mod and stepping in blood would make you leave bloody footprints.
