Blowing stuff up in creations

    How do you set stuff on fire and blow stuff up in downloaded simulations? WHenever I use fire, i goes super slow and liquid stuff freezes. Help? I really want to nuke some stuff. And how do you make objects move, lets say in a gun? e.x, a bullet?

    Ill presume you are a new member fanjet? Welcome to the land of TPT!


    On topic~!

    Using C4 or FWRK and other explosives is a good way to make a bang! Thermite is also a cool way of making explosives! You can find these on the right column. You can also use Noble Gas with spark and make a plasma ball of death! The ways to blow stuff up is endless! updates always bring new things. Now, when you use fire, you say it goes super slow? What are your FPS (Frames Per Second)? You'll be able to find them up in the corner in blue. If they are around 15 that means your computer is a bit slow. You can increase the FPS by taking Neutonian Gravity off (Go to the little tick in the white circle).

    Liquid freezing stuff, now, I will presume that the liquid you are talking about LN2. Liquid Nitrogen is subzero and freezes most things. But, on the other hand, the object that this "Liquid" is touching my be cooled to under 0*C.

    Now, as i think you are new, I will not rage, but warn. Moving objects, solids, has been suggested countlessly. I think it has been rejected so much because of the lag it creates (I may be wrong). Though, there is one moving solid in the game, spng. I cant remember the exact command but you can make it move by: Hitting the ~ key and inserting the command. I think its xy-1 or something like that. It makes spnge move. Now, bullets (Moving) on TPT are one of 3 things, Photons, Sponge or Aray. I consider asking around and looking at other threads to get some more info.

     

    Hopefully I have helped a bit! Feel free to ask me anything TPT related!

     @Bold: Just lag.

     @Underline: You don't.

    Spng doesn't move anymore but grav does. You will find it under Powders and the console command is !set vx grav 1    . Or vy to make it go a different direction.

    Is there some way to make it less laggy?

    Lag is mostly defined by how well your computer performs under immense stress. Powder Toy is really quick when you can use it quickly but it won't work wonders. Particle simulation is really heavy on the speed and your FPS might drop in a matter of particles.
    Long story short, all I know is that you should close any unnecessary memory-heavy applications and use up-to-date hardware, which requires real money to be spent.

    Also Windows 7 computers have a function call ready-boost which lets a flashdrive speed up a computer
