Post any bugs you find here. But there aren't as many bugs that are really bugs and I don't already know about than when this first started, so also use this as a general conversation save, or to ask / tell me anything. #1 most commented save in tpt!

    I would use sim.partProperty(i, "type") to get the type of a particle by ID

    It is strongly recommended to not use tpt.parts for anything besides quick lua commands. Definitely don't use it in the update function of an element. It's far slower than sim.partProperty or tpt.get_property. It's just left in because it's very easy to use

    tpt.parts is an array that contains particle data. You can use the iterator from sim.parts() to print out the x and y coordinates, like: for i in sim.parts() do print(tpt.parts[i]["x"],tpt.parts[i]["y"])

    How do i find a particle on screen by ID?

    Isn't the illuminati symbol's code "163" or something?

    Tron205: i is the ID of a particle that exists somewhere on the screen. Do whatever you want with it (check the type, change a property, whatever)

    for i in sim.parts() do print(i) end; -- What do i do with "i"? Is there a table that contains all current particles.

    Tron205: it's an iterator that allows you to loop across every particle. Pretty useful
