Eraser object scripting?

[FruitMonger]

I was thinking about making a saw blade weapon or something, and I was wondering if you could make an object into an eraser. Like the draw tool's right click. Anybody know how to do that? I use Phun, if that makes a difference.

You cannot easily do this. You could start with an already known object, delete it, then spawn a polygon in its place, and repeat. Although, using that method, you cannot do it with ease.

Code: Select all

killer = true

?

killer = true

He meant to erase only part of the object(imagine lightsaber), not the whole object itself.

[Kilinich]

oh well, laser cutter can do that trick

[RicH]

Like the brush tool. Not like the cut tool.

[Kilinich]

Well then, just paint it over with background color polygons

Rich is right, I want the object to be able to fall and erase right through a block, like if you spam CSG subtract.

Ah yes i had this idea back in the phunland forums. I gave up and moved on.

Alright, thanks for your input, guys. If I am going to make a saw blade weapon, I'll have to make a bunch of pieces stuck together as my victim and make the saw a killer.

Or use breakable hinges.

[FruitMonger]

Yeah, but that wouldn't be the same as erasing whatever it touches. It'd just get rid of huge chunks.

Killinich is right: laser cutter slightly before the blade and parallel to it + some killer geometry slightly inside the blade to kill small chunks could do very well.
