All elements help.

I don't know anything about the coding of TPT but if I were you I'd take a look at the code of CONV.

Just don't run element specific checks.
When you usually would make your loops and then element type checks, it's as trivial as removing the type checks.
See below for a reference.for (rx=-2; rx<3; rx++)<br/> for (ry=-2; ry<3; ry++)<br/> if (x+rx>=0 && y+ry>0 && x+rx {
r = pmap[y+ry][x+rx];
if (!r)
continue;
// if (((r&0xFF)==PT_FIRE || (r&0xFF)==PT_PLSM) && 1>(rand()%500))
// {
sim->create_part((r&0xFF), parts[r>>8].x, parts[r>>8].y, PT_VINE);

Anyone even noticed that he posted inside Lua Scripting?
Just iterate over all neighbours inside the update function and change them into VINE. For example like this:
-- Create the element and copy properties from DUST
local VNER = elements.allocate("NUCULAR", "VNER")
elements.element(VNER, elements.element(elements.DEFAULT_PT_DUST))
elements.property(VNER, "Name", "VNER")
elements.property(VNER, "Description", "Viner, changes stuff into VINE.")
-- Create an update function for VNER
local function VNER_update(index, partx, party, space, nt)
-- Get the particle neighbours and iterate over them
for i in ipairs(simulation.partNeighbours(partx, party, 2)) do
-- Don't change other VNER particles
if simulation.partProperty(i, "type") != VNER then
simulation.partChangeType(i, elements.DEFAULT_PT_VINE)
end
end
end
-- Bind our update function to VNER so it gets called every
-- frame for every particle of VNER
tpt.element_func(VNER_update, VNER)
Keep in mind that this code was written from my phone and is totally and completly untested but should give you an idea of how to do it.
