The Powder Toy

I am trying to add a way of turning lava into obsidian by cooling it to a certain temperature, without the lava returning to its original state. An example of what i would like to happen is the way WRTV turns to RIME instead of ICE when it touches an absolute zero surface. How can i do this?

I have mostly been learning from existing code,but i have not found a solution in my searches.

Obsidian is not a element on The Powder Toy. Off Topic: I'm getting better at coding and i'm going to add Obsidian "OBSI"

I know. Obsidian is a part of my own mod.

Btw, i don't plan on releasing my own mod, so if you want my existing code to make your life a bit easier, i can send it you. It has no functions other than being a more durable, less acid-resistant glass. But it's there if you want it.

find

else if (t==PT_WTRV) {
	if (pt<273.0f) t = PT_RIME;
	else t = PT_DSTW;
}

in simulation.cpp. This is the code like the one you want. A bit below, in the LAVA if statement, find

if (s) {
	t = parts[i].ctype;

and add this below it:
if (pt<273.0f) t = PT_obsidian;
And I think this should work

Thank you for this.

EDIT:

Nope, didn't work. Back to the drawing board.

are you sure? I got lava when less than 0C to turn into DMND like this with just one line. I added that line below the t = parts[i].ctype

RIME type transformation
