Exactly what it says on the tin! I made a fully automatic cannon that shoots LAVA(SING) which has been cooled to JUST above its solidification point (973 in console, 699.85 ingame). It is fully automatic, which means that you can hold down SPRK on the trigger and it will keep shooting. At the end of the barrel is a nozzle which opens at the same frame as the projectile is fired, then closes quickly, to prevent the entry of unwanted debris and gases from the explosion of the round. If gases do get in, they are destroyed with VOID. However, the projectile, when shot, moves too quickly to be absorbed by the VOID, and so escapes.
Another important part of the save is my implementation of what I like to think of as a new type of element. When I was making the cannon, I saw that, to keep the LAVA at just above its solidification point, I needed an element that was immune to both heat, pressure, AND was thermally nonconductive. Unfortunately, DMND conducts heat, and since part of the cannon uses PSCN (which cools as it sparks), I couldn't use DMND. I tried all sorts of elements. WHOL, VENT, SHD4, but none of them worked. Then, I noticed that STOR satisfied all three requirements. However, STOR would interfere, unless I could 'jam' it to make it not work. I know that element IDs don't go very high, and I believe they stop at around 150 (I could find out the exact number, but can't be arsed). So, I set it at the highest number that can still be saved or copied, because if I go to 200, I might as well go to 65535! True enough, since there is no such element ID that high, when sparked with PSCN, STOR wouldn't put anything out, but it would just sit there, seemingly still impregnated with that imaginary element. So there we have it! It's not quite 1px WALL, still destroyable by BOMB, DEST, SING, AMTR, and to a certain degree WARP, but that's good enough for me!
Anyway, enough talk. Here's the save:
I know, I know, the design sucks. I can't make a gun the proper shape to save my life.
Ideas? Comments? :D
I could do some art on it. And make it look like a gun xD
I like the inert stor :3
Some art *would* be nice! I'd give you credit on the save!
ty :3
This would be so much easier if I knew how to work this stuff lol.
How do you make molten sing again? I forget.
But... but... then there are fewer rounds!
!set ctype lava sing
!set tmp lava 65535 (or some other big number)
And, if you want it to be really, really close to solidifying,
!set temp lava 973
