Adds in a dust version of any element listed in the 'dconv' table. All properties, excluding falldown, update function, properties property, tab, state, graphics, gravity, name, description and menu visibility are kept the same. The dust versions can be found under 'Powders' and are listed as P (first 3 letters of element name). The P stands for powdered.

There are a lot of scripts adding dusts, but this one can do it automatically from a list of things to make a dust version of.

Warning:powdered versions of elements added by mods with high 'weight' property may smash through things.

Code:

tpt.log('Dusts Script running')
dconv = {'pscn', 'nscn'}
for i=1,#dconv do
elname = dconv[i]
dconv[i] = tpt.element(elname)
end

for it=1,#dconv do
local i = dconv[it]
if i then
tpt.log(i .. ' Processed')
dust = elements.allocate("Dusts", elements.property(i, 'Name') .. 'Dust')
elements.element(dust, elements.element(i))
elements.property(dust, "Name",'P' .. string.sub(elements.property(i, 'Name'),1,3))
elements.property(dust, "Description", 'Powdered ' .. elements.property(i, 'Name'))
elements.property(dust, "Colour", elements.property(i, 'Color'))
elements.property(dust, "MenuSection", elements.SC_POWDERS)
elements.property(dust, "State", elements.ST_SOLID)
elements.property(dust, "Properties", elements.property(i, 'Properties'))
elements.property(dust, "MenuVisible", 1)
elements.property(dust, "Falldown", 1)
elements.property(dust, "Gravity", 0.3)
end
end

Updated: added property/update function/graphics function properties to the dust elements. Now powdered photons bounce, powdered metal conducts and (illogical) powdered water is blurred if that setting is on.

(well, graphics works, update not so much, Powdered Gravitons don't work sadly)

ChargedCreeper:

Script only adds very glitchy PSCN and NCSN and they cant even be sparked. This was with pasting into autorun on a fresh TPT.

 I updated it so they are sparkable. However, PPSC and PNSC will not activate INST and similar things. And also this line:

dconv = {'pscn', 'nscn'}

If you add extra items into that table, like: dconv = {'pscn','nscn','gold'} the element's powdered version is generated.

Add the string name of whatever element you want a dust version of, and it'll add it in.
