Could you (And if you could how?) make a script that checks if there is less than say... 10 pixels, then it displaces them?

So it would be like this:
Code:
if p = < 10 (-Y) then          (P) Meaning pixels.
displace p + 10 (-Y)        (-Y) meaning Up.


Of course this would not be so easy as that.
Just an example. So could you do this? It would be awesome! No more 2 pixels floating in mid air!

I don't know much about Lua, but this should be possible. Even if you had to spawn an MO to displace it.


EDIT

Oops. forgot the point.

Could someone make this?
Could someone Please(!) make this?

there's no way to displace terrain systematically

so, yeah, it's basically impossible.

in case you need more explanation: even spawning an MO would displace at best I believe 60%; there was a specific ratio visible in one of the really old builds, set to 0.6.

anyways, the only "workaround" I can think of would be individually spawning mock terrain pixels out of the same set of colors at the individual positions while spawning single-pixel MOs to erase the specific pixels

which would be laggy and pretty terrible.

You would make the MO HitsMOs=1 and GetshitbyMOs=1 then it would hit both MOs and fall.

And hit the person under it, adding to realizmz.

Yes you can, i'm sure.

But it seems you can't understand them.


Butter.

No, you can't.

If you're going to continually demand that you are right despite evidence to the contrary then this topic has no purpose besides your own faux-intelligent masturbation.

So.

No.

You probably could take someone's terrain scanning script (that they did for the minimap) and make a psuedo-working-terrain-dislodger.
