Vacuum is PT_????
-
What's the internal name for VACU (vacuum element)? I thought it was just PT_VACU but I can't find it. Normally in Codeblocks when you type PT_ it gives a dropdown list of valid PT_ names so I just select the one I want, but PT_VACU isn't there. Please help.

PT_WHOL for VACU
and
PT_NWHL for WHOL -
WHOL looks nothing like VACU. How did this name take place? WHOL being changed to VENT would at least make sense because WHOL and VENT both repel stuff. but VACU actually sucks stuff in. So it makes no sense. Please explain how this came about? And would it be possible for me to change the line of code that defines PT_WHOL to instead call it PT_VACU? Or would this break other code?

The internal names do not always represent the names shown in-game. After newtonian gravity was introduced, WHOL was named to to VENT but kept the PT_WHOL internal name, the new White hole was given PT_NWHL.
If you change the internal names in the powder.h file, you have to also edit any references to it, which can be a bit of a pain for modders and other people who use the code. That's why we never rename the PT_* defines. -
Thanks, that worked. BHOL is indeed VACU. but When I try NBHL it doesn't have any effect at all with the new BHOL. Something is wrong here. Is it possible that the designation PT_NBHL is assigned to the VAC tool instead of the BHOL element?

Nevermind, I see where I made my error now.
