Magnetics and Gravitational Pull changing would be a great addition! I'm not all fofr the elements, but it would be cool.

^
your wrong they are called maglev trains

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBeta 4 comin at ya! Collapslable objects! Sounds fun!

I always thought it would be cool if you could select a tool, and wherever you clicked the point of gravity was in that spot. Everything would suddenly fly towards this point. Crushing together. I would imagine it'd be CPU intense in some cases. But overall it would be very cool.

yea really Emil should do this I love the magnetism idea and the soft/hard object thingy.

PLEASE DO THIS EMIL!!!!!!!

awsome idea, ive thought about it and it would be awsome!

this idea is actually pretty awesome.but i think it should be just magnetism and not magnetism AND relative gravity.
its like killing 2 birds with one stone

they, do, it's just that this is an old topic, and they're always looking in the new topic section for topics to post on, and when u post on an old topic, it brings it up to the top of the list, causing them to get excited, thinking there's another post on one of their topics, and they don't like that....

for now, until you get respected more, just sort of ignore their mean posts and don't post on old topics... this gets u far in phun forum life

1 - The ability to change gravitational fields around certain objects...

the idea is good, but its hard to code it since the angle of the gravity must change and get "around" the object the gravity field is at to force the other objects in/outward it...at last 4 now i think its a bad idea to work at this...there are lots of tools that would be much more enjoyed and used and that are waiting for some "phunmakers freetime" to be worked into...
----------------------------------------------------------------
2 - Magnetics...

basicaly, magnets would be gravity fields that affect magnetic objects...so else of the code needed 4 the gravitational fields idea, it would also need a code to say if an object is a magnet, a  ferro(metal) or a non-ferro(not affected by magnetic fields)...else of lots of other things...so basicaly its the same case of the gravity field idea...

IMPORTANT NOTE: still...i know a mod of a 3dgame (GARRY'S MOD 10...a half-life 2 modification) have both gravity and magnet features...(remember...we are talking abolt a 3d game...with need a hell of a lot more complex code)...

so i dont really think its impossible for phun to get such engine codes...(well..hl2 had a lot more crew to work on its engine, and hl2 still took a total 7 years to be releaced betwen work in the engine, in the game and models/textures arts)...but cmon...it cant be that hard...and its sure to be worth it...
----------------------------------------------------------------
3 - Advanced Collision Properties.

well...im sorry to say that but...this feature is (at last at this moment) impossible....reasons:
1*: the "bullet" part is currently impossible to be runned in real-time rendering(games)...
2*: even if the objects arent cut(reason 1)...its still hard to real-time render objects changing itselves shapes...the closest of it in realtime rendering is at a racing game called "dirt"...where if u crash ur car at a roadside (metalic cover...dont know name in english) it will twist...still...it needs a massively complex coding...

so i think its a better idea to simply make a feature that does "breakables" automaticaly(also requires a hard-to-do code but its much less complex than dinamic-shape-changing) like the ones at phunbox...
---------------------------------------------------------------
4 - Preset Elements.

i dont really understood that exactly was u meaning with this one but...as far as i understood...its already in phun...

i think we should throw out the gravity idea and just do magnetism.its a lot easier than putting both because they do the exact same thing

I guess its already added.

well, actually, they do one, and then they would have the base for the other. gravity draws everything in. same pull code could be used, just looking for code saying its magnetic or ferrius (not sure if i spelt it right). the magnets pushing eachother would again, be the same as turning gravity into a negative. hard code, but with one comes an easy other.

preset elements... awesome idea!
