    why do my elements disapear instead of transforming when they get to the specified temperature?

    [code]

    elements.property(elements.WIKI_PT_WTCN, "HighTemperature", 500.00)
    elements.property(elements.WIKI_PT_WTCN, "HighTemperatureTransition", "LAVA")

    [/code]

    The value of HighTemperatureTransition is not a string, as you've used, but a numerical ID of the LAVA type, try using elements.DEFAULT_PT_LAVA instead.

    it's the scripting language used in TPT to modify properties at run time.

     the same thing *facepalm*
    I used to use it with a different game and it was usually written like that. it's not that the letters are different.

    Knowing that doesn't make you an expert (sure, he is an expert, but still...)
