How would I make a metal conduct faster?

QuentinADay

this has been brought up in the past and from what i remember they said it wasn't really possible. but im not really sure about it

IS there a way I could make molten something mix with molten something else to make something else altogether

(e.g. Molten brick + Molten stone = Molten concrete)

this should work but might spam you with errors see if i could do better

function something(i,x,y,s,n)
ctype = tpt.get_property("ctype", x + math.random(-1,1), y + math.random(-1,1))

ctype1 = tpt.get_property("ctype", x, y)
if ctype == tpt.el.stne.id and ctype1 == tpt.el.brck.id then

tpt.set_property('ctype', tpt.el.cnct.id, x, y)
end
end
tpt.element_func(something,tpt.el.lava.id)

yes this time i made it work off its ctype because all of lava is the same exept for its ctype (what element was melted):

function molten(i,x,y,s,n)
type = tpt.get_property("ctype", x, y)
if type == tpt.el.brck.id then
tpt.parts[i].type = tpt.el.cnct.id
end
end
tpt.element_func(molten,tpt.el.lava.id)

function molten(i,x,y,s,n)
type = tpt.get_property("ctype", x, y)
if type == tpt.el.stne.id then
tpt.parts[i].type = tpt.el.cnct.id
end
end
tpt.element_func(molten,tpt.el.lava.id)

i think mine is a bit better then jward212's (no offence) because mine will not produce errors

jward212

function molten(i,x,y,s,n)
ctype = tpt.get_property("ctype", x, y)
if ctype == tpt.el.brck.id then
sim.partChangeType(i, tpt.el.cnct.id)
end
end
tpt.element_func(molten,tpt.el.lava.id)

function molten(i,x,y,s,n)
ctype = tpt.get_property("ctype", x, y)
if ctype == tpt.el.stne.id then
sim.partChangeType(i, tpt.el.cnct.id)
end
end
tpt.element_func(molten,tpt.el.lava.id)

who's better now :P :)

I admit defeat, not that there was ever a battle:\

jward212:

who's better now :P :)

I am

local function molten(i,x,y,s,n)
	local function ignore(i,x,y)
		local ctype1,ctype2 = tpt.get_property("ctype", x, y),tpt.get_property("ctype", x+math.random(-1,1), y+math.random(-1,1))
		if ctype1 == tpt.el.brck.id and ctype2 == tpt.el.stne.id then
			sim.partChangeType(i, tpt.el.cnct.id)
		end
	end
	pcall(ignore, i, x, y)
end
tpt.element_func(molten,tpt.el.lava.id)

Edit: reading the original question this is totally wrong ... let me fix this
Edit2: ok! I just used pcall to ignore the errors ... I can't find a replacement for tpt.get_property that doesn't error unless i'm being stupid and missing something obvious.
Edit3: now with less randomness

QuentinADay

jacob1, for some reason you can't do: tpt.get_property("ctype", x + math.random(-1,1), y+ math.random(-1,1)) without errors. You have to do this: tpt.get_property("ctype", x, y) I have no clue why...

Help...(Please noone laugh at me)
