I have no idea how I've managed to ignore this until now. Turns out that if the tmp of CONV is not 0, it only converts particles whose type equals its tmp. You can basically tell CONV(PSCN) to only convert SPRK and CONV(SPRK) to only convert PSCN.

I just tested it, well, seems to actually work, may not be stacking them, but it shoots a lot more particles.

Hmm, that'd have been quite a laser though, lol.

Ah, ok, thanks.

And no, they wouldn't shoot stacked particles. As particles have no notion of stacks, they can't stack by themselves, only the user can do that.

K, thanks, and, and three of them would shoot, making a stacked laser, right?

Nope, a single INWR would be sufficient. Particles can be stacked but have no notion of a stack, so only the top particle of a stack is visible to any other particle. If you have three CRAYs stacked and there's an INWR on one side, all CRAYs will notice it. If you were trying to delete the three CRAYs with DRAY however, only one would be deleted as the DRAY would only see the CRAY on top.

And, would the CRAYs actually shoot stacked particles?
T4chy0n 26th May 2017

So, if I were to stack CRAY, would I need to stack INWR and wifi too, to make them all get sparked?

Interesting.

Well, not exactly at once. There is an order to what happens. The ARAY is on the bottom, above it there's a CONV(PSCN) (yes, PSCN, not METL, derp) and a CONV(SPRK). The "stack" (that's what we call a bunch of particles on top of one another) is evaluated from top to bottom, the the ARAY shoots first and then the CONVs ... convert :P
