Extremely Durable TTAN
-
Makes TTAN Non-Meltable. It had a weakness to DEST so I made it so it would push DEST if it comes in contact with it. I also made it resistant to VIRS by making it create a soap particle if it comes in contact with it, then it deletes the soap particle afterward.
elements.property(elements.DEFAULT_PT_TTAN, "HeatConduct" , 0)
elements.property(elements.DEFAULT_PT_TTAN, "Hardness" , 0)
elements.property(elements.DEFAULT_PT_TTAN, "Weight" , 10000)
function ttan1(i,x,y,s,n)
local type = tpt.get_property("temp", x, y)
if type > 300 then
tpt.set_property("temp", -math.huge, x, y)
end
tpt.set_property("temp", -math.huge, x, y)
local type = tpt.get_property("type", x + math.random(-3,3), y + math.random(-3,3))
if type == tpt.el.dest.id then
sim.gravMap(x/4, y/4, -256)
end
local type = tpt.get_property("type", x + math.random(-1,1), y + math.random(-1,1))
if type == tpt.el.virs.id or type == tpt.el.vrss.id or type == tpt.el.vrsg.id then
tpt.create(x + math.random(-1,1), y + math.random(-1,1), 'soap')
end
local rx,ry = x + math.random(-1,1), y + math.random(-1,1)
local type = tpt.get_property("type", rx, ry)
if type == tpt.el.soap.id then
tpt.delete(rx, ry)
end
sim.can_move(elements.DEFAULT_PT_DEST, elements.DEFAULT_PT_TTAN, 0)

In other words, you basically made a copy of DMND that can contain pressure. However, unlike DMND, ACID and CAUS will still chew through it.
-
Still, that's a pretty good element.
-
Actually I set the hardness to 0 meaning acid and caus do nothing to it
-
Very nice! The effect is really cool with DEST when you have gravity grid or fancy display mode on.
-
Ya, that is my favorite effect too
-
Pretty cool how you try and make it immune to DEST :P
I'd just suggest a few things. Don't name your variables "type", ever. That overwrites a lua function and if you have tptmp running it will just spam errors. If you really want to name it that you can make it a local variable (local type = tpt.get_property("temp", x, y)).
Also, if you add this line, it will be even more resistant to DEST: sim.can_move(elements.DEFAULT_PT_DEST, elements.DEFAULT_PT_TTAN, 0). That prevents DEST from moving through TTAN.
Also I suggest you remove the line about deleting the SOAP, since that actually causes it to delete whatever it to the upper right of the TTAN whenever it is near SOAP. Or, you could at least redo it like this (untested but will probably work?):local rx,ry = x + math.random(-1,1), y + math.random(-1,1)
local type = tpt.get_property("type", rx, ry)
if type == tpt.el.soap.id then
tpt.delete(rx, ry)
end
Also why not post it on the new lua script server! -
Thank you for all the suggestions Jacob1
-
Yay the updated script is so much better and more resistant :D
btw sim.can_move(elements.DEFAULT_PT_DEST, elements.DEFAULT_PT_TTAN, 0) only needs to be run once :P -
I actually made an element that breaks it. Should I Add it just for Fun or does that defeat the purpose too much?
