     BTRY already exists

     BTRY has nothing to do with this exept for the fact that it may be used to power the BULB

    actually lets support this instead. so, if tmp of any powered element is = 15, then the element requires constant sparking to turn on i.e. it stays on for 4 frames until it is charged again

     I guess that would work, but I still think BULB sould just be a new element. It would make more sense.

     

    it also needs to stay on for more than 4 frames. like 15 frames.

    I added this element to my mod. Thanks for this suggestion.

    But I don't know if the BULB should be lit up immediately (like INST does when you spark it) or the glow should "flow" through the element (like in METL or PCLN).

     I think it should give kind of a flourecent glow as soon as it is sparked similar to what VIBR does, but without the waves.

     

    can you give me a link to your mod? I could tell you more about how I pictured it vs. how you did it.

     

    EDIT: Imagine a lamp when you switch it on. Does it turn immediately on, or does it do waves? it also gives off a glow.

    Isn't this what tungsten is for? spark it for a short time and it glows, have a basic microcoolant next to it to turn it off when it isn't being sparked. It wouldn't be worth making a new element just for this, but you could make tungsten act like this when it's tmp or life or something is changed.

    no it isn't what TUNG is for, you wouldn't spark it for a short time for it to glow. This element suggestion, when you spark it, glows immediately. you can also change the color so that it glows different colors. TUNG, when you spark it, the sparks go through it too in waves. BULB, when you spark it, does not conduct spark and does not glow in waves. Changing the tmp of TUNG doesn't change anything.

    TUNG is what light bulbs are made off, and it does not turn on instantly. It just seems like so.

    TUNG wire is so small that it heats up quickly, giving off light.

     

    I don't think it deserves another element...

    Also, what thenewpowder meant, is that instead of making a new element, tmp could be used to make it act like your element.

  • lefouduroi     13th Oct 2013 Member 0 Permalink

    I know TUNG does not turn on intantly, that is what another element would be used for. A lot of people dont know what tmp is used for and making a new element to do the fuctions I mentioned would clarify things. Also, I don't think that you can change the color for TUNG and have it glow that color. 

     

    What if someone would replace TUNG with BULB or something like that? I doesn't hurt to add another element.
