theoretical SOAP softbodies
-
okay so we all know (hopefully) that soap 1. can connect to itself, and 2. that it can connect to other elements.
i have not been able to succeed yet, but here is the idea:
a soapworm, that is connected to powders or liquids, might theoretically be able to make a sort of softbody that is effected by gravity.
if anyone can/has done this, please let me know.

Do soap links have the ability to "pull" actual particles?
It wouldn't hurt to try this, but I kind of doubt it will work. Especially since SOAP can only link to one other particle, so you really can't get more than two real particles into a link.
Speaking of SOAP, the latest snapshot fixes the bug where you can't copy+paste soap links, that would help with playing around with SOAP. -
if you change the type of a particle in a soap chain, the soap sticks to it. i'm going to try making a soap "rope" with particles first, that will probably be the first step

that's what i was thinking, i'm going to try it now, will post results
EDIT:
i think the problem is in fact that SOAP only connects 1-way. maybe it could use tmp2 to connect 2 ways?
i.e a soap particle with a tmp of 6 and a tmp2 of 5 will connect to particles with the ids 5 and 6.
the closest i've gotten is a rope with a powder at the end.
