ctype with cray/clne variants

    Is there a way to have cray/pcln create an element with a custom ctype (for example, a cray that creates hlif particles or molten vibranium)?

    You can make PCLN create different types of LIFE by setting its .tmp value. (.tmp of 1 -> HLIF). Make sure the .ctype is LIFE too.

    Other than that, I'm pretty sure there isn't a way to have cray/pcln create an element with custom ctypes

    Just noticed, it is possible to create stuff with custom life, tmp, and ctypes using STOR. Here is how the properties are 'transformed':
    .tmp of STOR -> .type of new particle
    .temp of STOR -> .temp of new particle
    .tmp2 of STOR -> .life of new particle
    .pavg0 of STOR -> .tmp of new particle
    .pavg1 of STOR -> .ctype of new particle

    spark the STOR with PSCN to release your custom particle

    Wait, what?  Has that always been a feature?  Because it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, and I don't think I've EVER seen anybody use it!

    That's not exactly a feature of STOR. That's just how it stores particles. It will store anything you give it.

    PIPE does it the exact same way, by changing those properties in PIPE you can control what is inside.

    Is there a property value that changes the amount of particles inside the STOR?

    No, STOR only has enough space to store the data of one particle.
