Extremely Heavy Peculiar Powder
-
This is just an element I knocked up, which acts VERY oddly.
It falls so fast it is almost invisible, and can fall through nearly everything.
Because of these strange properties, other particles that isgoes through can be re-located in VERY odd ways!
Code:
local WEIGHT = elements.allocate("WEIGHT", "WGHT")
elements.element(elements.WEIGHT_PT_WGHT, elements.element(elements.DEFAULT_PT_DUST))
elements.property(elements.WEIGHT_PT_WGHT, "Color", "0xFCCFFF")
elements.property(elements.WEIGHT_PT_WGHT, "Name", "WGHT")
elements.property(elements.WEIGHT_PT_WGHT, "Description", "Extremely Heavy Powder")
elements.property(elements.WEIGHT_PT_WGHT, "MenuVisible", 1)
elements.property(elements.WEIGHT_PT_WGHT, "MenuSection", 7)
elements.property(elements.WEIGHT_PT_WGHT, "Advection", 0)
elements.property(elements.WEIGHT_PT_WGHT, "AirDrag", 0)
elements.property(elements.WEIGHT_PT_WGHT, "AirLoss", 0)
elements.property(elements.WEIGHT_PT_WGHT, "Loss", 200)
elements.property(elements.WEIGHT_PT_WGHT, "Falldown", 2)
elements.property(elements.WEIGHT_PT_WGHT, "Hardness", 0.8)
elements.property(elements.WEIGHT_PT_WGHT, "Weight", 200000)
elements.property(elements.WEIGHT_PT_WGHT, "Temperature", 293)
elements.property(elements.WEIGHT_PT_WGHT, "HeatConduct", 0)
elements.property(elements.WEIGHT_PT_WGHT, "State", 3)
elements.property(elements.WEIGHT_PT_WGHT, "Properties", 2)Please Comment and say what you think!

I don't think it is a bug.
Also, from looking at the lua scripting api, I get the impression that solids are really powders, with no gravity like GRAV, and also unnaffected by air pressure. A Dev can correct me if I am wrong.
This basically acts like warp with gravity, I think.

very ???... well i got no whay to explane it

We have 3 things that store state for some weird reason. There's FallDown (controls how particles move mostly), State (for some wall / portal / other random things), and Properties, which have properties like TYPE_SOLID, TYPE_ENERGY, etc. This one is used for some other random thing. When you set all 3 to the right thing you get the different states. If you do it wrong you might get a powder that goes through gas wall, I don't know. They really should be combined into maybe 2.
Adding code to make sure even the heaviest elements don't go through solids won't happen, it's sort of intended. So keep using this "bug" :) You really only need a weight of 101 though.
Also, it's good practice to use things like elements.TYPE_LIQUID instead of just 2 for properties, the properties might change sometime. If I go ahead with my plan to move TYPE_* into State, you will suddenly be giving your element a random unintended property. If you use TYPE_LIQUID though, i'll probably just set it equal to 0, so that old scripts that do it properly won't set an incorrect property. Also same with elements.SC_LIQUID instead of 7. If a new menusection is added this might suddenly find itself in gases. -
um what?
