[Denied] Have lava affected by gravity

[Nato-Potato]

I have no idea how hard this would be to implement, how it would affect some maps timers or how much it would increase lag etc

But I thought it would be cool if lava basically fell if there was air (or oplair) under it.

Pretty much the lava would still spread outwards infintitely, but if a lava block is generated above an air block it would fall like sand, landing on a block underneath it, then start spreading.

As the timers are high up the lava would flow down, slowly spreading outwards from the timer and filling the map from the bottom up, rather than the top down.

Thoughts?

Nato this would probably cause a whole lot of lag but its a great idea

It's not automatic but, an op could emulate lava flowing like this with a tube and releasing it in layers.

 

[txcinthehouse]

xrats idea is the solution but that is easy to do in grassy field but not in dunno Graveyard and stuff

 

[Nato-Potato]

Well that is similar, but yeah it would have to be done manually each time.
Or more maps could be made with timers that pull lava up pipes, like the orbital map and the grassy field map.

I just thought it would be cool to see lava flowing down the side of a volcano, gradually getting higher, building up against obstacles until it was high enough to flow over, then falling and gradually getting higher again on the other side.

It would really give the player a crazy experience. This should really only be used on small 64x64x64 maps however.

The thought of this makes lava sound almost fun again.

A VetOP could blb still-lava from the timer at the top of the map to the bottom of the map, and slowly modify the levels which are lava. :)

 

[ironstag1]

but what about the maps with solid roof and timer with it?

 

[Razinao]

The very same thing?

 

[UltimateBudgie]

...could blb still-lava...

Hahahha BLB. Welcome to Lava/Zombie

Actually to contradict you there, hearty, /blb works.

Lucky Zombie+Lava have moved on from pre-historic times and use /z as well... sweety

Sorry for living in the past of awesomeness. We know with age comes suckage.
