i was just think that wouldn't it be more useful if you could set the amount of gravity in the game, then you could increase or decrease the gravity depending on you and your save.

That really can be usefull and not hard to code.

I was going to suggest something like this, but it doesn't seem interesting enough (for me), so i'll let you take the lead.

Newtonian gravity.

I think he means setting HOW strong something gets pulled without NewtG (The default gravity modes, vertical, radial and off)

Go make a lua script for it if you want it, it's probably not that hard

tavninder

i don't just want it for me, i would like it to be an option in the next TPT version.

Then you can still make a luascript for it cause other people can use it too

oh, ok i see.

@tavninder (View Post)

yeah, you can make a simple lua script and everyone can use it :D

I felt like making this first, so here it is:

local particles = {"DUST","WATR","OIL","FIRE","STNE","LAVA","GUN","NITR","CLNE","GAS","C-4","GOO","ICE","METL","SPRK","SNOW","WOOD","NEUT","PLUT","PLNT","ACID","VOID","WTRV","CNCT","DSTW","SALT","SLTW","DMND","BMTL","BRMT","PHOT","URAN","WAX","MWAX","PSCN","NSCN","NITR","INSL","VACU","VENT","RBDM","LRBD","NTCT","SAND","GLAS","PTCT","BGLA","THDR","PLSM","ETRD","NICE","NBLE","BTRY","LCRY","STKM","SWCH","SMKE","DESL","COAL","LOXY","OXYG","INWR","YEST","DYST","THRM","GLOW","BRCK","CFLM","FIRW","FUSE","FSEP","AMTR","BCOL","PCLN","HSWC","IRON","MORT","GOL","DLAY","CO2","DRIC","BUBW","STOR","PVOD","CONV","CAUS","LIGH","TESC","DEST","SPNG","RIME","FOG","BCLN","LOVE","DEUT","WARP","PUMP","FWRK","PIPE","FRZZ","FRZW","GRAV","BIZR","BIZG","BIZS","INST","ISOZ","ISZS","PRTI","PRTO","PSTE","PSTS","ANAR","VINE","INVS","EQVE","SPWN2","SPWN","SHLD","SHD2","SHD3","SHD4","LOLZ","WIFI","FILT","ARAY","BRAY","STK2","BOMB","C-5","SING","QRTZ","PQRT","EMP","BREL","ELEC","ACEL","DCEL","TNT","IGNC","BOYL","GEL","TRON","TTAN","EXOT","BRAN","EMBR","HYGN","SOAP","BHOL","WHOL","MERC","PBCN","GPMP","CLST","WIRE","GBMB","FIGH","FRAY","REPL","PPIP"}

local function changetoname(el) -- changes element number to an element name
   if el == 0 then
      return "X"
   end
   local particle = particles[el]
   if particle == nil then return el
   else return particle
   end
end

local i
local name
for i = 0, 162 do
   name = string.lower(changetoname(i))
   local element = tpt.el[name]
   if element then
      element.gravity = element.gravity /10
   end
end

That first function is from my favorite elements menu lua script. Modify that /10 to change gravity's effect. Something that did it in game (not a lua script) might work better.
