Update Function Change Type
-
I want to change a particle from one type to another, whenever it's on screen.
-
I tried that, how would I use it?

sim.partChangeType(i, elem.DEFAULT_PT_DMND) would change the particle with ID "i" to diamond. You would need an update function to get "i".
There is documentation in the wiki: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Lua_API:Simulation.html#simulation.partChangeType
By the way, you don't need to create a separate thread for every issue. -
Is there a way to have it change while paused?

You would have to use a tick function for that, then do something like tpt.set_property("type", "dmnd", "stne"), this would change all stone to diamond -
I can't use tpt.set_property because both elements have the same name.

You're doing some *really* weird stuff ...
The best you can do is this, but it will be a little laggier:
if sim.elementCount(yourelement) > 0 then
for i in sim.parts() do
if sim.partProperty(sim.FIELD_TYPE, i) == yourelement then
sim.partChangeType(i, elem.DEFAULT_PT_DMND)
end
end
end
Where "yourelement" is the ID of your elementEdited 3 times by jacob1. Last: 12th Feb 2017 -
Wait, are you giving me a function or not?
