Using "Combine Shapes" Actions in Script

[Jimmyfisherman]

I wanted to make a script where one circle would be continuously subtracting from the shapes around it. Is there any way to use the things in the Combine Shapes menu in a script?

I have a feeling this could be done by making said circle do the "subtract" thingy through Thyme, and you might be able to get a semi-realistic effect by just making it do that over and over again very quickly. However due to my general lack of knowledge in these areas I have no idea how that could be accomplished...

Shamefully this is a Advanced geometry and maths question, Algodoo doesn't allow access to the CSG system through thyme, only real way is to generate a new a new geometry using a bit of maths, which is more of a kilinich thing.

If this is something that Kilinich should help with, then why doesn't he ever look on the forums to help?

He does, you have to remember that people have lives outside of this website. He will look when he has the time to.
