Multi-directional pipes by dashdev
Unpause to watch the sim. I've just figured out how to make a multi-directional pipe. In a multi-directional pipe (mdp), every material acts like a gas. Feel free to copy!

i explained that as well as i could, so i hoped that helped! -
dashdev 19th Mar 2021thats how the tmp will determin the direction of the pipe
-
dashdev 19th Mar 2021basically tmp 524288 (green) will dump its contents to tmp 786432 (blue), and that will dump to tmp 262144 (red). If all the tmps are the same, it will just flow in random directions. If a pixel of pipe doesnt have a tmp of one of those 3, it will convert back to the unformed pipe.

dashdev 19th Mar 2021the tmp also determins what the color will be

dashdev 19th Mar 2021all the same*

dashdev 19th Mar 2021yeah so in pipes, any material will be given random movement, to make it look better, and movement in the direction of the pipe (which is determined by the pipe's tmp). So if the tmp of the pipe is all the some, it will only have the random movement, causing whatever you put in the pipe to act like a gas and not really flow in one set direction.

thanks! -
bryiscool 19th Mar 2021ah so thats why when you copy pipes it works like that
