    Wasn't sure if I should post this under general or feedback, but here it is. 

    Video version of my element ideas here:

    You can set ctype on VOID to limit what element it can destroy

     SOND:

    It should be able to travel through empty space as well

     

    HELM:

    Tpt already has helium, NBLE is helium.

     

    KNFL:

    No functional purposes.

     

    PDTR:

    If this is a solid then forget it cause VOID and PVOD already do this.  But if it's a powder than it's essentially powered VOID and might be interesting.

     

    PBMB:

    You're better of making a block of PBCN with a ctype of lightning (THDR or LIGH) or WARP and then turning it on to detonate the bomb.

     

    Ctyped AMTR:

    This would be a hassle to code and would serve no functional purposes.  Plus, it would ruin a mechanic in an element I once suggested.  Look in my topics for a thread named "New elements and new factories" to learn more.

    SOND:

    if it travelled through empty spaces it would just be prot. Travelleing only in objects is it's gimmick.

     

    HELM:

    Nble can make certian elements fall slightly slower, but it can't just completely lift them.

     

    KNFL:

    neither do several elements. It's just for fun. The video explains that.

     

    PDTR:

    That's true. I am basically creating void. I didn't realize that void could do that.

     

    PBMB:

    That's true, but just becuase one element replaces another doesn't mean the other shouldn't exist. You can just have temperature sensor, pscn, ignc, and c-4 together to create c-5, but c-5 is still in the game.

     

    Ctyped AMTR:

    I'm not asking that all of these be implemented. I'm not a programmer and don't always know what would make sense. I agree that would be a hassle to code, and maybe this one should be best left alone. I checked your thread, and I'm not sure how my mechanic would conflict with yours. Then again, I didn't understand your post very well. It was well written, I just couldn't personally undertand it. If you're worried about normal amtr being gone, I said in the video that amtr with no ctype or a ctype of itself would behave as normal.

     Open the console and type !set ctype (element name) (ctype name)

     

    @Lord_Bowserinator (View Post)

     That's true! I didn't know that. Sorry for including it. How about we say that PDST is a powder, and that's what makes in unique.
