Element Affecting Command Bug

  • Fusionftw     5th Apr 2020 Member 0 Permalink

    Element affecting console commands, like "tpt.el.wood.falldown=1" do not work.

    I'm not sure if you cannot change element properties in this fashion, or this is actually a bug. There is no console feedback, either.

     

    Steps to Reproduce:


    1. Open TPT, and draw some PSCN.

    2. Press ` to go to the console, and type "tpt.el.pscn.falldown=1" (without the quotations).

    3. Press enter.

    4. Notice how the command is run with no feedback (like console1: Invalid Property).

    5. Notice how the PSCN is not affected by the command (the PSCN should act like a powder and fall).

    No, it should not act like a powder and fall. PSCN is not a powder and doesn't become one just because you set its Falldown to 1. Changing properties works fine, try Description (description in the legacy API's case).

    You need to change many more properties than this to make it act like a powder.

    There's .gravity, .advection, .airloss, .airdrag, and .loss

    I suggest copying these from an existing powder you want to mimic.

    Oh! I saw someone say in the comments of a save that you could turn elements into powders like that. Welp, I guess I should read up on TPT's LUA commands.
