How to allow PHOT to pass through?

    Just tested
    You probably want sim.can_move(elements.DEFAULT_PT_PHOT,elements.DEFAULT_PT_DMND, 2)

    0 = can't move through, 1 = swap places, 2 = move through, 3 = custom (you could set it but it can't be supported from lua)

    Without the 2, it returns the current value

    I think it's an issue with how you are calling sim.partNeighbors, but I can't look into it right now

    No, you only run the can_move function once

    so i put it next to all the elements.property() stuff right?

     

    EDIT: tried that and it doesent do nothing

    It does work, can you post the line you are using? The first argument should be the ID of phot, the second should be the ID of your element, the third should be 2

    Wait, i did it wrong. my element's name is VBIZ and the code im using is 

    sim.can_move(elements.DEFAULT_PT_PHOT, elements.DEFAULT_PT_VBIZ, 1)

    so let me see if it works.

    EDIT: I dont know what im doing wrong but it still isnt working :/...

    EDIT 2 electric boogaloo: I think it is because i cant do DEFAULT_PT_ for a custom element. How do i get my element's ID?

    When you allocated your element, you did it like elem.allocate("REDVELVETCAKE", "VIBZ"), or something
    In that case, it would be elem.REDVELVETCAKE_PT_VIBZ

    You could also use the return value from elem.allocate instead
