Damn numgun that's um very descriptive, you know what I mean. But it gives me a very good idea, you know what I mean.

Can someone say "zero G" or Actor execution pit, or how about something with gravity that smashes anything in between them.
crud picture but it'll do
Gravity>(+)<Gravity
Actor in middle
See the gravitational push of both sides slowly crushing the actor trapped in the middle under all the force, you know what I mean.

What you're talking about is called spaghettification, and you don't even need two bodies of high gravity to do it. In a sufficiently high gravity field, the difference between the force of gravity pulling part of you that's closer to the object and that pulling farther away can rip you apart as you fall.

In terms of this mod (not real life):
In the original version the actor would rapidly spaz between the two forces as the gravity is globally and constantly applied.
In the newer version, it would be in 0 G assuming that the two forces are of equal distance and force.

I love the idea of a planetoid level. It offers interesting dynamics to combat on the surface, and below it.

However, would it be possible to make levels that include multiple planetoids?
Imagine a mission such as: "The Ronin have an ore refinery somewhere within this sector of the kuiper asteroid belt. We want you to find it, and eliminate it by any means possible."
And the mission would party involve successfully navigating the gravity between each body.

I don't know if that's far fetched or not, though.

In any case, this is the best level I have seen to date. Keep it up.

This is simply awesome. You should make a sun with massive gravity and an orbiting asteroid belt, one of the said asteroids has your brain in it! the map size should be as large as possible and it will be PERFECT.

i hope data would make some special code for movement depending on gravity

It's possible, but don't get your hopes up.

Hmm, I just had a thought (oh noes....). Could you, theoretically, use gravity wells to build a long accelerator in the level? One that will send anything caught in the middle ♥♥♥♥ flying?

I was going to request something along these lines where anything put into a pipe gets super accelerated and uses lua to keep them from colliding with the wall.

I was thinking gravity-slingshot though. So if something were placed into it and was too far off center, if would be ripped to shreds as it collided with a wall at an angle. And when properly placed, the gravity fields would linearly (hopefully) accelerate it in the direction of the strongest pull.

The concept is the same as magnetic accelerators.

That's entirely possible, but I'm fairly busy now. If you want to, take a poke at the Lua, and you should be able to conceive it on your own

Can zones be linked to the existence of a certain actor within X units?
If so, I need to lern2lua.

First bit checks existance, second bit checks distance.


I just realized a whole crap load of cool stuff can be done with Vectors.

Example:

(vector).Magnitude -- gets the magnitude (scalar) of a vector (I just found this out (It's not in our current documentation (Kickass)))
(vector) - (vector) = distance between them -- Assuming they are both in world coordinates I.E. actor.Pos - gun.Pos < 12, gets the distance in vector format (use .Magnitude to get scalar distance)
(vector):CapMagnitude(12) -- Vector's magnitude can never go past 12. I.E. actor.Vel:CapMagnitude(12), that actor will never go faster than 12 in any direction.

You can also use the point_distance function I built into Orbit Lands. But yes, you can do that.

I've found that this map is a great way to test if rocket launchers are too weak or too powerful.
