question..... about QRTZ
-
when i tried making a bunker i set the tmp of the QRTZ to 9999999 to make it grow but when i tested it the growing QRTZ kept the tempreture thus making a crystal that after 10-15 secs melts! is this normal? help!
-
i just did it... and i had absolutely no problem... so yeah, its not normal... are you sure your not doing !set temp qrtz 999999? instead of !set tmp qtrz 9999999?
maybe try tpt.set_property("tmp", 9999999, 'qrtz') ?

i am SURE i did !set tmp qrtz cuz if i did TEMP it would have just melted but this time it melted AND grew after 10-15 secs the crystal just.....dies.... melts... look at this save i did !set tmp qrtz 999999 then heated it ID:1711831

"the result of doing !set tmp qrtz 99999999 then !set temp qrtz 99999"
Yes, that's normal. When QRTZ grows, each new particle has the same temperature as the particle that created it. Otherwise it's a bit overpowered in bunkers.
The delay is because QRTZ melts slowly, so even if it has all been heated above its melting point, it won't all melt at once. Notice how if you mouse over it, some particles say "QRTZ" and some say "Molten qrtz", so some of it (mostly the inside) has melted.
At the beginning, the outside is growing so quickly that new particles are created faster than the existing ones melt. So the inside has melted, but there is a solid shell still growing on the outside which keeps the molten QRTZ contained. You can see this more clearly if, in the graphics settings (rainbow button in the bottom right corner), you select the "No special effects at all for anything" option (first row, middle of the window). This will make QRTZ appear light blue and LAVA (molten QRTZ) orange.
When growth slows down, the melting overtakes the growth and it all disintegrates.
