Where's METL update?
-
I thought all elements had an update function but it seems that METL (and quite a few others too) doesn't. If I want change METL's update routine, how do I change it. Do I have to make a completely new C file?

Actually, not all elements have their own C files, only the ones that have to do something special, like acid or sing. And yes, you do have to make a new C file. -

Sucks. Because I've wanted to make it so EVERY particle in the game emit a certain other type of particle. Only my new element itself (and clone and a few others that would not work right if included in this scheme) shouldn't emit this type of particle. Is there a way to have a "universal" or "global" update function (in addition to each element doing their own update function) so that EVERY particle type that is currently available (except for a few that I'd want to "opt out" of it) will do a particular task (in this case emit a particle that I've designed)?

@Videogamer555 (View Post)It may take some skill, but you could define a new property for the game. I am unsure where it would be defined, however.

Maybe put it in the main particle update loop, in update_particles_i in powder.c (look near line 2010)if (t!=PT_CLNE && t!=PT_BCLN && t!=PT_THING) // don't do it for these elements
{
//do stuff

Which properties will I have access to in here? Will I have access to "x" "y" "i" particle coordinates?
