I think tpt could really use two types of new walls/solids.

exwl: (exclusive wall) Wall that only allows particles of its ctype through

incw: (inclusive wall) Wall that only allows particles not of its ctype through

(you can change the names, I just made them up for examples)

Walls do not have ctype, or any other properties of elements. This is unlikely to be added.

Walls are also immune to the console.

akang

Yeah highly doubt that idea's gonna get transferred into tpt because walls don't have ctype

chyzman

what if they were solids?

also is that the real jacob?

I don't think it is, but walls don't share the properties of elements.

As I already stated, walls are not elements. They don't have ctype, they don't have state (solid/liquid/gas). They aren't stored in the same data structures as elements at all.

We could still do this by adding a new map to store the information about what the wall should block. But I'd rather not do that, it would get messy and hard to work with.

chyzman

for one thing

AHA, Jacob2 is you!

also,

i meant make it an element not a wall

but then energy particles could go through so never mind

It would be very difficult to make this an element, because elements (under most cases, and besides energy particles) can't stack. If they do stack, it's not possible to see what's on the bottom of the stack. This would create a lot of issues allowing elements to go through the "wall" element.
