Heat and cool tool revolution

    I was thinking, the heat and cool tool should be set to one 'temp' icon, and in the settings, you can choose the following:
    increase/decrease/set
    temp[      ]
    f/c
    an example would be:
    set
    100
    c
    this would mean that whenever you use the 'temp' tool, it would set the temperature to 100 degrees Celsius!
    That way, you would have more accurate temperature changing tools.

    Yes, but more fiddly. I think it would be better if both the original temperature tools remained the same, however, you could set the properties in the console - both the Lua and the Cracker console.

    i think having a more advanced heat/cool tool WOULD be great but having to change a setting EVERYTIME i wanted to change temp of something would just be annoying

    i DO like the idea of being able to set options with console BUT i think a seperate tool would work better

    by that i mean have something like PROP , called SET, that would have a "menu" like PROP that would allow you to set all the options that PROP has BUT instead of changing all of whatever element that you click on it would change anything in the pen's radius and ONLY what is in the pen's radius

    Use PROP (property tool) and click the block of material you want to edit. Then select the variable "temp" and type 373 (373=273+100 since you want 100C as the display uses C and C=K-273 but you are entering the temperature in a data field that is expecting K) and press ok. That should give you the 100C you want.

    Issue resolved. I maybe would have suggested that, but I have no idea how to use PROP.
