Rigid bodies, maybe?

    Why not? It will be even more realistic.

    For example you want create a metal ball. You just select this ball and make rigid body.

    Why not?


    BECAUSE AT CURRENT ENGINE MOVING SOLIDS WOULD BE INCREDIBLY HARD TO CODE AND EVEN IF THEY WOULD BE POSSIBLE THEY WOULD BE SO BUGGY WITH GRAVITY, LIQUID VISCOSITY ETC.
    Nuh, nuh, TPT_PL, that's not how do you talk to strangers.

    Moving solids are generally rejected because they would be nearly impossible to code properly at the current engine. If we wanted moving solids, we (or, they) would have to rewrite the code. "Rigid" also doesn't work with our current engine. Sorry, but that's how the things are.

    If you want to know more about TPT's dos and don'ts, jusk ask a developer that will come lock this thread anyways afaik.

    If you mean this as in the metal ball acting as one object, rather than a bunch of individual pixels, then it would probably qualify as a moving solid.
    Problem is, TPT is coded in such a way that each pixel kinda does its own thing; you can't make multi-pixel structures that stick together. As fun as it would be, it's just not possible without a huge overhaul

    EDIT: Ninja'd

    I've tried making structures out of soap, i wonder if the soap links can be coded to stay the same length or be """Rigid""" like that, that may be the only moving solids we get, but they are moving solids nonetheless, they may also work better.

    we should just have modded soap that does not explode at contact, that also kind of falls faster.

    I believe Jacob1's mod adds an element called BALL. If you wanna know what rigid bodies would be like, try that. That's about the best you can hope for, and even then, it's already been rejected

     Moving solids have been rejected, because they cause lag and etc. For example jacob1's mod proves that they work half the time.
