I was wondering if it is possible to alter or change the shape of blocks in game to create angles. Also potentially changing the size of the cube.
Also I am curious if you can "stretch out" a texture across multiple blocks, especially if the blocks are indestructible.
I'm really interested in what in game editing functionality is possible in general.
Thank you for your time!

Re: Is it possible to change the shape of the blocks in game
Take a look at the lua documentation and the existing mods. Several of these things have already been done by devious methods. However, you have to remember that the cubic block with a standard texture was chosen because it's easiest. Any changes you make are going to be more resource intensive -- in some cases, a lot more.TheReaperKing wrote:I was wondering if it is possible to alter or change the shape of blocks in game to create angles.

Thank you Duane!! I was hoping that someday in game editing like this would be possible.

Seems like it would be very costly though which is a problem. WorldEdit does seem to come pretty close. I appreciate the feedback!

Re: Is it possible to change the shape of the blocks in game
What do you mean by 'angles'? Nodes can be any shape already. Maybe you mean alter the geometry of the underlying 3D grid of cubes?
The size of the basic cubic node is set by a parameter in the engine called 'BS' heh, not settable in Lua.
If you want to alter the size of cubes the only way is to use a bigger or smaller player.
A new feature called 'global textures' can create large textures covering multiple nodes.

Very nice ! Many new possibilities will be offered with that :)paramat wrote:A new feature called 'global textures' can create large textures covering multiple nodes.

Re: Is it possible to change the shape of the blocks in game
Thank you for the great response Paramat!
Yes I meant "alter the geometry of the underlying 3D grid of cubes" while in game. With the nodes being able to be any shape, I imagine you can't change the shape in game. I'd think the best solution is prefabs. Is it possible to change the texture of a block or shape while in game?
That is awesome to hear about the global textures!
Thank you again and I hope you have the best day of all time!

The definition of a node can't be changed in-game, all you can do is replace a node with a similar one which has the desired alteration.
