Customizable explosive

    Name = CEXP
    A solid explosive that is similar to C4 but FULLY customizable. When a particle of this explodes, the resulting TEMP (temperature) of the flame will be equal to the TMP value of the explosive (set TMP to 9999 for an explosion who's flame TEMP = 9999Kelvin). And set LIFE for the explosive to set the pressure released by one particle of the explosive when it explodes (LIFE=173 means that when a single pixel explodes, a pressure level of 173 is added to the pressure level of the air-cell that the explosive particle was in).
    TMP2 will control how it is to be triggered. It will be based on binary flags so adding flags will set it to be triggered by multiple stimuli and also some other properties.

    1 = explodes from touching FIRE or PLSM, regardless of temperature
    2 = explodes from exceeding pressure threshold (same threshold as C4)
    4 = explodes from exceeding temperature threshold (same threshold as C4)
    8 = explodes from touching LAVA (molten metl, molten stne, molten glas, etc), regardless of temperature
    16 = explodes from touching SPRK (if a wire of METL touches it, when a SPRK on teh wire touches it it will blow up)
    32 = fast explosion (like TNT instead of C4)
    64 = uses PLSM for explosion output particle (instead of FIRE) regardless of temperature of explosion


    TMP, LIFE, and TMP2 can be set using scripts, console screen, or the properties tool.

    Plamoid is the only one who likes the idea?

    I think it's been suggested before, however I think it isn't a bad idea.

    It's too complicated, it's not a ELEMENT anyway, it's a small finite automation, isn't it?
    But I like the idea, maybe we can have some customizable electronic integrated unit...

    Someone official, Simon, etc please reply to this. I want to know if you think this is a good idea.

    I like it (even though I'm not Simon).
    It's better for many saves, and much more fun than any normal explosive.

    i think this is a good idea because sometimes with the existing explosives you cant get the explosion you need.

    Basically, a multiexplosive? Let's concatenate other explosives into it as well and name it EXPL, then we can have more slots and more code.
