Hello. I'm looking for a way to take a pixel of layered FILT and split it into its constituent pixels, in 1 frame (subframe). Any ideas? Thnx.

Beware though that basically nothing can interact with stacks. Everything sees only the top particle. E.g. you can't move this stack around, nor can you copy the whole stack at once.

It doesn't seem to work for stacks with more than 2 pixels... Sorry I didn't specify that in the first post.

LBPHacker

Do it with pistons then. Save updated. The way it is now it doesn't split the stack in a single frame, but that can easily be implemented. Lol I was wrong.

But it doesn't split it onto all its pieces in 1 frame, it does 1 piece per frame

LBPHacker

Just how big is your stack?

Is it even possible to split a stack in one frame? As LBPHacker said, TPT can't know what is beneath a stack. It only knows what is on top. So you could split one particle off per frame, but you can't do any more than that. TPT wouldn't recalculate pmap to see what is on top again until the next frame.

LBPHacker

Oh lol right. pmap updates. Yeah, apparently it's impossible to split up a stack with more than 2 particles. Good to know. Save updated, the second splitter fails.

So is it possible to split a particle in the middle of the stack away from the others without having to take off everything on top?

LBPHacker

No, ^. In other words, virtually only the particle on the top exists, from the point of view of other particles.
